Site-Specific Introduction of Alanines for the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Investigation of Low-Complexity Regions and Large Biomolecular Assemblies

Carlos A. Elena-Real et al.

Summary: A strategy for efficiently assigning frequencies to individual nuclei in large biomolecular machines and repetitive proteins using in vitro protein expression is presented. The approach was demonstrated to be applicable for NMR assignment in four proteins by introducing isotopically labeled alanines. The labeling method enabled unambiguous assignments in large protein assemblies and revealed the correlation between helical stability and homorepeat length in Phox2B. Selectively introducing alanines with distinct labeling patterns proves to be a powerful tool for studying challenging biomolecular systems.

Genetic Encoding of Cyanopyridylalanine for In-Cell Protein Macrocyclization by the Nitrile-Aminothiol Click Reaction

Elwy H. Abdelkader et al.

Summary: Cyanopyridylalanines are non-canonical amino acids that can react with aminothiol compounds under physiological conditions in a biocompatible manner. Newly developed aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases enable the site-specific attachment of meta- and para-cyanopyridylalanine and the incorporation of a wide range of different functionalities. The outstanding utility of the cyanopyridine moiety is demonstrated by various applications in protein functionalization, in-cell macrocyclization, and protein stapling.

Site-Specific Incorporation of 7-Fluoro-L-tryptophan into Proteins by Genetic Encoding to Monitor Ligand Binding by 19F NMR Spectroscopy

Haocheng Qianzhu et al.

Summary: A mutant aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase has been discovered through a library selection system that allows for the site-specific incorporation of 7-fluoro-L-tryptophan in response to an amber stop codon. This enzyme enables the production of proteins with a single hydrogen atom replaced by a fluorine atom, serving as a sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe. The substitution of a single hydrogen atom with a similar-sized and hydrophobicity element minimizes potential disruptions to the protein's structure, stability, and solubility. The fluorine atom facilitates the site-selective monitoring of protein response to ligand binding using F-19 NMR spectroscopy, as demonstrated with the Zika virus NS2B-NS3 protease.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

John Jumper et al.

Summary: Proteins are essential for life, and accurate prediction of their structures is a crucial research problem. Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.
