title: Solution studies of staphylococcal nuclease H124L. 1. Backbone 1H and 15N resonances and secondary structure of the unligated enzyme as identified by three-dimensional NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: The backbone 1H and 15N resonances of unligated staphylococcal nuclease H124L (recombinant protein produced in Escherichia coli whose sequence is identical to the nuclease produced by the V8 strain of Staphylococcus aureus) have been assigned by three-dimensional (3D) 1H-15N NOESY-HMQC NMR spectroscopy at 14.1 tesla. The protein sample used in this study was labeled uniformly with 15N to a level greater than 95% by growing the E. coli host on a medium containing [99% 15N]ammonium sulfate as the sole nitrogen source. The assignments include 82% of the backbone 1HN and 1H alpha resonances as well as the 15N resonances of non-proline residues. Secondary structural elements (alpha-helices, beta-sheets, reverse turns, and loops) were determined by analysis of patterns of NOE connectivities present in the 3D spectrum.
