Abstract

Cell-free protein synthesis protocols for uniformly deuterated proteins typically yield low, non-uniform deuteration levels. This paper introduces an E. coli cell-extract, D-S30, which enables efficient production of proteins with high deuteration levels for all non-labile hydrogen atom positions. Potential applications of the new protocol may include production of proteins with selective isotope-labeling of selected amino acid residues on a perdeuterated background for studies of enzyme active sites or for ligand screening in drug discovery projects, as well as the synthesis of perdeuterated polypeptides for NMR spectroscopy with large supra-molecular structures. As an illustration, it is demonstrated that the 800-kDa chaperonine GroEL synthesized with the D-S30 cell-free system had a uniform deuteration level of about 95% and assembled into its biologically active oligomeric form.
