NMR structure determination of large RNAs is often restricted by limited RDC information caused by chemical shift degeneracy. We established a general, time- and cost-effective methodology for the preparation of 13C/15N complementary labeled RNAs from a single plasmid. Applying this method to the 25 kDa BC1-DTE RNA, we were able to resolve severe chemical shift degeneracy, thereby almost doubling the number of RDC restraints in comparison to the conventional 13C,15N uniform-labeled RNA.
大RNA的核磁共振结构测定常常受到化学位移简并导致的剩余偶极耦合(RDC)信息有限的限制。我们建立了一种通用的、具有时间和成本效益的方法,用于从单个质粒制备13C/15N互补标记的RNA。将该方法应用于25 kDa的BC1-DTE RNA,我们能够解决严重的化学位移简并问题,从而使RDC约束的数量相比传统的13C、15N均匀标记RNA几乎增加了一倍。
