Abstract

High amino acid coverage labeling of the mammalian G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) rhodopsin was established with 15N and 15N/13C isotopes. Rhodopsin was expressed at preparative scale in HEK293S cells and studied in full-length by NMR spectroscopy in detergent micelle solution. This resulted in the assignment and detailed study of the dynamic properties of the C-terminus of rhodopsin. The rhodopsin C-terminus is immobilized until Ala333, after which it becomes unstructured.
