Abstract

Selenomethionine-modified proteins can improve X-ray crystallographic structural resolution by multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing. However, the specificity and extent of selenomethionine incorporation must first be assessed. Bottom-up and top-down proteomics with a modified 14.5 T LTQ Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer offer a quick, accurate, and robust method to locate and quantify selenomethionine incorporation after auxotrophic expression. Selenomethionine (methionine with sulfur replaced by selenium) has a different natural-abundance isotopic distribution and a mass increase of 47.94 Da relative to wild-type methionine. Here, both wild-type and selenomethionine-substituted forms of the Cas6 protein containing 'clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats' (CRISPRs) were expressed and purified. Comparative bottom-up and top-down proteomics confirmed that all six methionines were fully replaced by selenomethionines in Se-Cas6.

CRISPR (general)

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) are DNA sequences in the genome that are recognized and cleaved by CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas). CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Discover the latest research on CRISPR here.
