Abstract
A large proportion of human proteins contain post-translational modifications that cannot be synthesized by prokaryotes. Thus, mammalian expression systems are often employed to characterize structure/function relationships using NMR spectroscopy. Here we define the selective isotope labeling of secreted, post-translationally modified proteins using human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 cells. We determined that alpha-[15N]- atoms from 10 amino acids experience minimal metabolic scrambling (C, F, H, K, M, N, R, T, W, Y). Two more interconvert to each other (G, S). Six others experience significant scrambling (A, D, E, I, L, V). We also demonstrate that tuning culture conditions suppressed V and I scrambling. These results define expectations for 15N-labeling in HEK293 cells.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
