17 O NMR Studies of Yeast Ubiquitin in Aqueous Solution and in the Solid State.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report a general method for amino acid-type specific 17 O-labeling of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli. In particular, we have prepared several [1-13 C,17 O]-labeled yeast ubiquitin (Ub) samples including Ub-[1-13 C,17 O]Gly, Ub-[1-13 C,17 O]Tyr, and Ub-[1-13 C,17 O]Phe using the auxotrophic E. coli strain DL39 GlyA λDE3 (aspC- tyrB- ilvE- glyA- λDE3). We have also produced Ub-[η-17 O]Tyr, in which the phenolic group of Tyr59 is 17 O-labeled. We show for the first time that 17 O NMR signals from protein terminal residues and side chains can be readily detected in aqueous solution. We also reported solid-state 17 O NMR spectra for Ub-[1-13 C,17 O]Tyr and Ub-[1-13 C,17 O]Phe obtained at an ultrahigh magnetic field, 35.2 T (1.5 GHz for 1 H). This work represents a significant advance in the field of 17 O NMR studies of proteins.
