Publication Abstract from PubMedWe developed an Escherichia coli cell-based system to generate proteins containing 3-iodo-l-tyrosine at desired sites, and we used this system for structure determination by single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) phasing with the strong iodine signal. Tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii was engineered to specifically recognize 3-iodo-l-tyrosine. The 1.7 A crystal structure of the engineered variant, iodoTyrRS-mj, bound with 3-iodo-l-tyrosine revealed the structural basis underlying the strict specificity for this nonnatural substrate; the iodine moiety makes van der Waals contacts with 5 residues at the binding pocket. E. coli cells expressing iodoTyrRS-mj and the suppressor tRNA were used to incorporate 3-iodo-l-tyrosine site specifically into the ribosomal protein N-acetyltransferase from Thermus thermophilus. The crystal structure of this enzyme with iodotyrosine was determined at 1.8 and 2.2 A resolutions by SAD phasing at CuKalpha and CrKalpha wavelengths, respectively. The native structure, determined by molecular replacement, revealed no significant structural distortion caused by iodotyrosine incorporation.
