Detergents commonly used to form micelles that are amenable to high-resolution NMR are summarized in Tab. 5.2, and the chemical structures of the most commonly used detergents are presented in Fig. 5.2. Unfortunately, only a few of those needed for use with nonisotopically enriched peptides are commercially available in deuterated form. Most frequently, the zwitterionic DPC or the negatively charged SDS have been used as membrane mimetics. Mixtures of DPC doped with small amounts of SDS may be...
InteinBased Protein Engineering for NMR Spectroscopy
Recently, new advances in biochemistry have opened up a novel approach for protein engineering, which utilizes a protein-splicing domain. Protein splicing is a post-transla-tional chemical modification discovered in nature, which catalyzes the excision of an intervening polypeptide internal protein, intein while simultaneously ligating both the N-and C-terminal flanking polypeptide chains Fig. 1.3, 1.5A , analogous to RNA splicing 57, 58 . This unique enzymatic process has been used in various...
The CellFree Protein Expression System RTS
The RTS system includes two different technology platforms for cell-free protein expression as well as a number of tools for finding optimal conditions Scheme 1.1 . All expression systems use the T7-polymerase for transcription and an E. coli lyzate with reduced nuclease and protease activity for translation. The conditions are optimized for a coupled transcription translation reaction so that the DNA can be directly used as the template. The first platform RTS 100 HY is designed as a screening...

Once all necessary experiments have been recorded, the information contained in them has to be analyzed. As mentioned above, the sequential backbone assignment is achieved by searching for matching chemical shifts. For the actual search it is most efficient to reduce the three-dimensional space of a three-dimensional experiment to a two-dimensional problem. This is done by cutting out narrow strips around every amide proton position along the indirect carbon dimension triple resonance...
Segmental Labeling of Proteins
Although more than 100 protein splicing domains have been found in nature 59 , only a handful have been used for segmental labeling purposes, namely SceVMA PI-SceI , PI-PjuI and PI-PuflI. The currently accepted reaction mechanism for protein splicing consists of the following four steps, namely, i N-S O acyl shift, ii transesterification, iii succinimide formation, and iv S O -N acyl rearrangement Fig. 1.3 . Either a subset of these four steps or the entire reaction process can be used for...
Amino AcidType Specific Labeling
The principal difficulty associated with the preparation of amino acid-type specific labeled proteins is the suppression of metabolic scrambling of the label into other amino acid types through the common metabolic pathways in the host cell. The use of a complex amino acid sugar mixture, such as the one present in the algal hydrolyzates, reduces this danger greatly compared to fermentations on a single carbon source. In fact, the activity of many enzymes responsible for amino acid...

The IMPACT Intein-Mediated Purification with an Affinity Chitin-binding Tag system was originally developed as a novel purification method by New England Biolab. It makes use of a modified intein, SceVMA, in which the active site was mutated from His-Asn-Cys to His-Ala-Cys, so that the usual cleavage due to succinimide formation involving the side-chain of Asn is no longer possible Figs. 1.4A and 1.6 A . Since a chitin-bind-ing domain CBD is fused to the C-terminus of the intein, this protein...
Stabilizing Proteins by InteinMediated Backbone Cyclization
Limited protein stability often hampers successful structure elucidation by X-ray crystallography and or NMR spectroscopy. Relaxation properties are usually improved at elevated temperatures, and multidimensional NMR experiments require sample lifetimes to extend over several days to weeks in order to acquire all the necessary data. In addition, the activity of contaminating proteases that are sometimes present in purified samples can be significant at the experimental temperatures. Therefore,...
