LcrVType III Secretion System
• The Tip Protein LcrV is essential for T3SS function.• The role of LcrV is to detect the host environment and regulate
secretion.• Chaperone LcrG prevents premature assembly of the T3SS apparatus.
Why Use Nuclear Magnetic Resonance?
• LcrV and LcrG do not co-crystalize.• NMR provides residue-specific information.
Isoleucine
Isoleucine Methyl Probes for NMR
Isotopically-labeled alpha ketoacids are used to label isoleucine delta methyls with 13C.
NMR Spectrum of Isoleucine Methyl-Labeled LcrV
1 NMR Peak = 1 Isoleucine Methyl
Isoleucine Methyl Assignment by Site-Directed Mutagenesis
1. Introduce IL point mutant via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
2. Transform mutant plasmid into E. coli.
3. Express Mutant LcrV.

Making an isotopically labeled recombinant protein for NMR Plasmid containing protein sequence +E. coli BL21(DE3) in minimal media
Grow cells, add α-ketoacids (Isoleucine methyl labels)and induce expression with IPTG
Purification by affinity chromatography
Concentrate protein andtransfer to NMR tube

The LcrV Surface Affected by LcrG
Conclusions
• PCR was used to introduce point mutations into LcrV and mutant proteins were expressed and purified for NMR.
• All 25 isoleucine methyl NMR peaks of LcrV were assigned.
• These isoleucine methyl assignments were used to map the LcrV surface affected by LcrG.
Future Directions
• Publish results in the journal, Biochemistry.
• Use our isoleucine methyl assignments to test for interaction between LcrV and small molecules to develop T3SS inhibitors.
