Segmental isotopic labeling of proteins using protein ligation is a recently established in vitro method for incorporating isotopes into one domain or region of a protein to reduce the complexity of NMR spectra, thereby facilitating the NMR analysis of larger proteins. Here we demonstrate that segmental isotopic labeling of proteins can be conveniently achieved in Escherichia coli using intein-based protein ligation. Our method is based on a dual expression system that allows sequential expression of two precursor fragments in media enriched with different isotopes. Using this in vivo approach, unlabeled protein tags can be incorporated into isotopically labeled target proteins to improve protein stability and solubility for study by solution NMR spectroscopy.

An efficient protocol for incorporation of an unnatural amino acid in perdeuterated recombinant proteins using glucose-based media
Abstract The in vivo incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins is a well-established technique requiring an orthogonal tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair specific for the unnatural amino acid that is incorporated at a position encoded by a TAG amber codon. Although this technology provides unique opportunities to engineer protein structures, poor protein yields are usually obtained in deuterated media, hampering its application in the protein NMR...

A novel method is proposed for the detection and quantification of protein-protein interactions in solution. In this approach, one protein binding partner is tagged with a ligand binding domain, and protein-protein interaction is monitored via changes in the NMR relaxation...

Efficient protein production method for NMR using soluble protein tags with cold shoc
Efficient protein production method for NMR using soluble protein tags with cold shock expression vector
Abstract The E. coli protein expression system is one of the most useful methods employed for NMR sample preparation. However, the production of some recombinant proteins in E. coli is often hampered by difficulties such as low expression level and low solubility. To address these problems, a modified cold-shock expression system containing a glutathione S-transferase (GST) tag, the pCold-GST system, was investigated. The pCold-GST system successfully expressed 9 out of 10 proteins...

Optimizing 19F NMR protein spectroscopy by fractional biosynthetic labeling
Abstract In protein NMR experiments which employ nonnative labeling, incomplete enrichment is often associated with inhomogeneous line broadening due to the presence of multiple labeled species. We investigate the merits of fractional enrichment strategies using a monofluorinated phenylalanine species, where resolution is dramatically improved over that achieved by complete enrichment. In NMR studies of calmodulin, a 148 residue calcium binding protein, 19F and 1H-15N HSQC spectra reveal a significant extent of line broadening and the appearance of minor conformers in the presence of...
