Abstract: | Amino acid selective isotope labeling is a useful approach to simplification of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of large proteins. Cell-free protein synthesis offers essentially unlimited flexibility of labeling patterns but is labor-intensive and expensive. In vivo labeling is simple in principle but generally requires auxotrophic strains, inhibitors of amino acid synthesis, or complex media formulations. We describe a simple procedure for amino acid selective labeling of proteins expressed in prototrophic Escherichia coli strains. Excellent labeling selectivity was achieved for histidine, lysine, methionine, and alanine. Simplicity and robustness of this protocol make it a useful tool for protein NMR. |
