77Se NMR Spectroscopy of Selenoproteins

Abstract

One of the most essential contributions of selenium to biology is the specialized chemistry performed by selenoproteins. Elucidating the mechanisms by which selenoproteins govern the reactivity of their selenocysteine (Sec) requires exploring how the protein environment primes Sec interactions with substrates, prevents inactivation, and otherwise optimizes the use of this unique amino acid. 77Se nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a particularly powerful technique to study the chemical properties of selenocysteine, its conformational preferences and mobility, and the molecular interactions by which it is stabilized. Recent advances have simplified sample preparation and data analysis, extending the utilization of 77Se in NMR studies of biological samples. These improvements include the development of efficient procedures for enriching proteins with the 77Se isotope, the reports on NMR parameters of different selenoproteins that greatly expand the available basis for data analysis, and the progress in utilizing theoretical calculations for data interpretation. We discuss these areas of progress in 77Se NMR of biological systems, and we consider the range of questions for which 77Se NMR is most useful.
