However, it has been difficult to produce actin in substantial amounts using bacterial expression systems. In this article, a new method is described for the production of recombinant actin in bacterial cells. Human β-actin (His-tagged) can be expressed using a cold shock vector, pCold, in a bacterial expression system and then separated with a Ni-chelating resin, followed by a polymerization/depolymerization cycle or column chromatography with the Ni-chelating resin. The purified recombinant β-actin shows normal polymerization ability compared with commercially available β-actin purified from human platelets. This article also describes the preparation of mutant actin(G168R). This purified mutant exhibits impaired polymerization ability. The system and procedures described here will provide a useful method for the production of actin isoforms and their mutants. © 2018 by John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.</p>","PeriodicalId":10866,"journal":{"name":"Current Protocols in Protein Science","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/cpps.61","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10654556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NMR spectroscopy has proven to be excellent for studying the dynamics of these macromolecules over various timescales. Relaxation rates and heteronuclear nuclear Overhauser‐effect values can resolve motion on pico‐ to nanosecond timescales, residual dipolar couplings provide information on submicro‐ to millisecond timescales, and even slower dynamics over seconds to hours can be resolved by hydrogen‐exchange experiments. Relaxation dispersion experiments are especially valuable because they resolve motion on micro‐ to millisecond timescales, encompassing biomolecular motions associated with ligand binding, enzymatic catalysis, and domain‐domain opening. These experiments provide structural, kinetic, and thermodynamic information on “invisible” excited conformational states. Relaxation dispersion can be applied not only to single biomolecules but also to protein‐ligand complexes to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of association and dissociation.

Therefore, there is a growing interest to evaluate the carbamylation rate of blood or tissue proteins, since carbamylation-derived products (CDPs) constitute valuable biomarkers in these contexts. Homocitrulline, formed by isocyanic acid covalently attaches to the ε-NH<sub>2</sub> group of lysine residue side chain, is the most characteristic CDP.
