Uniformly 15N-enriched ribonuclease T1 (RNase T1) was obtained from Escherichia coli by recombinant techniques. Heteronuclear 1H, 15N-shift correlation spectra were recorded utilizing proton detection. Direct 1H, 15N connectivities were established applying the heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence technique. Additional 1H, 1H-TOCSY or 1H, 1H-NOESY transfer steps allowed for sequential assignments. Nitrogen atoms without directly bonded protons were detected by means of the heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation experiment. Signals emerging from 15NH and 15NH2 groups were distinguished by heteronuclear triple-quantum filtering methods. 119 nitrogen resonances out of the expected 127 were assigned unambiguously; in addition, previously obtained proton assignments were extended. Preliminary 1H, 15N NMR investigation were performed on the RNase-T1-3'GMP inhibitor complex. Results were interpreted with respect to nucleotide binding. |
