Abstract:
:The amino acid analogue selenomethionine (SeMet) is shown to be efficiently incorporated into recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli grown in a simple minimal medium without the addition of synthetic amino acids. Furthermore, satisfactory SeMet incorporation is obtained with a methionine-prototrophic strain transformed with commonly used vector systems. As examples, purified tryparedoxin 1 from Crithidia fasciculata, alkylhydroperoxide reductase (AhpC) from Mycobacterium marinum and the 16-kDa antigen from M. tuberculosis are shown to be efficiently labelled with SeMet, using the culture conditions and the host/vector systems described here. Enzymatic analysis reveals no differences between native and SeMet-labelled tryparedoxin 1 enzyme. Both proteins yield crystals under similar conditions. The culture conditions and host vector systems described greatly facilitate selenium-labelling of proteins for 3-D structure determination.
