Abstract

We have developed a new in-cell NMR method that is applicable to any type of cell and does not require target protein modification or specialized equipment. The stable-isotope-labeled target protein, thymosin beta4 (Tbeta4), was delivered to 293F cells, which were permeabilized by a pore-forming toxin, streptolysin O, and resealed by Ca(2+) after Tbeta4 uptake. As a result, we successfully observed (1)H-(15)N HSQC signals originating from the Tbeta4, including those from the N-terminal acetylation, which had occurred inside the cell as a post-translational modification.
