GBAP is an 11-residuecyclic peptide containing a lactone linkage formed by the side-chain hydroxyl group of Ser 3and the main-chain carboxyl group of Met 11 in the following amino-acid sequence,Gln-Asn-Ser-Pro-Asn-Ile-Phe-Gly-Gln-Trp-Met. Secreted GBAP binds to its membraneboundreceptor FsrC and triggers a two-<strong>com</strong>ponent signal transduction cascade of FsrC andFsrA. We previously reported the chemical synthesis [2] and the solution structuredetermination of GBAP [3]. In order to analyze the intermolecular interaction of GBAP andFsrC by heteronuclear NMR, we need to establish a preparation method of isotopicallylabeled GBAP. Here, we describe a new method to synthesize the thiolactone derivative ofGBAP, a GBAP agonist, from the fusion protein of [Cys 3 ]GBAP and Mycobacteriumxenopi GyrA mini-intein [4]. With this method, we obtained 0.25 mg of 15 N-labeled GBAPthiolactone from 1 L of Escherichia coli culture, and measured its 1 H- 15 N 2D HSQC.Fig. 1.
