Site-specific labeling of proteins for electron microscopy.
Electron microscopy is commonly employed to determine the subunit organization of large macromolecular assemblies. However, the field lacks a robust molecular labeling methodology for unambiguous identification of constituent subunits. We present a strategy that exploits the unique properties of an unnatural amino acid in order to enable site-specific attachment of a single, readily identifiabl...
متن کاملConcerted, Rapid, Quantitative, and Site-Specific Dual Labeling of Proteins
Rapid, one-pot, concerted, site-specific labeling of proteins at genetically encoded unnatural amino acids with distinct small molecules at physiological pH, temperature, and pressure is an important challenge. Current approaches require sequential labeling, low pH, and typically days to reach completion, limiting their utility. We report the efficient, genetically encoded incorporation of alky...
متن کاملSite-specific labeling of proteins for single-molecule FRET by combining chemical and enzymatic modification.
An often limiting factor for studying protein folding by single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is the ability to site-specifically introduce a photostable organic FRET donor (D) and a complementary acceptor (A) into a polypeptide chain. Using alternating-laser excitation and chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 as a model, we show that chemical labeling of a unique cysteine, followe...
متن کاملSite-specific labeling of the ribosome for single-molecule spectroscopy
Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy can reveal mechanistic and kinetic details that may not be observed in static structural and bulk biochemical studies of protein synthesis. One approach requires site-specific and stable attachment of fluorophores to the components of translation machinery. Fluorescent tagging of the ribosome is a prerequisite for the observation of dynamic changes in r...
متن کاملLabeling proteins with small molecules by site-specific posttranslational modification.
We report here the development of a general strategy for site-specific labeling of proteins with small molecules by posttranslational modification enzyme, phosphopantetheinyl transferase Sfp. The target proteins are expressed as fusions to the peptide carrier protein (PCP) excised from nonribosomal peptide synthetase, and Sfp catalyzes the covalent modification of a specific serine residue on P...
