Segmental Isotopic Labeling of Ubiquitin Chains To Unravel Monomer-Specific Molecular Behavior

“Seeing” each monomer in ubiquitin chains: By combination of the chemical synthesis of one ubiquitin monomer with recombinant expression of its 15N‐containing counterpart, the labeling of ubiquitins in non‐enzymatically assembled di‐ubiquitin chains was achieved, to enable monomer‐specific studies i...

Zusammenfassung:“Seeing” each monomer in ubiquitin chains: By combination of the chemical synthesis of one ubiquitin monomer with recombinant expression of its 15N‐containing counterpart, the labeling of ubiquitins in non‐enzymatically assembled di‐ubiquitin chains was achieved, to enable monomer‐specific studies in solution. This allowed the first characterization of the structure, dynamics, intrachain interactions, and ligand binding of Lys33‐linked di‐ubiquitin.
