Abstract:The advent of different lanthanide-binding reagents has made site-specific labelling of proteins with paramagnetic lanthanides a viable proposition. This brings many powerful techniques originally established and demonstrated for paramagnetic metalloproteins into the mainstream of structural biology. The promise is that, by exploiting the long-range effects of paramagnetism, lanthanide labelling will allow the study of larger proteins and protein-ligand complexes with greater ease and accuracy than hitherto possible. In particular, lanthanide-induced pseudocontact shifts (PCS) provide powerful restraints and 3D structure determination using PCS as the only source of experimental restraints will probably be possible with data obtained from samples with different lanthanide-tagging sites. Cell-free protein synthesis is positioned to play an important role in this strategy, as an inexpensive source of selectively labelled protein samples and for easy site-specific incorporation of unnatural lanthanide-binding amino acids.
Keywords:Lanthanides  Pseudocontact shifts  Residual dipolar couplings  Protein–  ligand complexes  Cell-free protein synthesis
