Tryptophan indole 15N-1H signals are well separated in NMR spectra of proteins. Assignment of the indole 15N-1H signals therefore enables one to obtain site-specific information on complex proteins in supramacromol. systems, even when extensive assignment of backbone 15N-1H resonances is challenging. Here the authors exploit the unique indole 15N-1H chem. shift by introducing extrinsic tryptophan reporter residues at judiciously chosen locations in a membrane protein for increased coverage of structure and function by NMR. The authors demonstrate this approach with three variants of the human A2A adenosine receptor (A2AAR), a class A G protein-coupled receptor, each containing a single extrinsic tryptophan near the receptor intracellular surface, in helix V, VI, or VII, resp. The authors show that the native A2AAR global protein fold and ligand binding activity are preserved in these A2AAR variants. The indole 15N-1H signals from the extrinsic tryptophan reporter residues show different responses to variable efficacy of drugs bound to the receptor orthosteric cavity, and the indole 15N-1H chem. shift of the tryptophan introduced at the intracellular end of helix VI is sensitive to conformational changes resulting from interactions with a polypeptide from the carboxy terminus of the GαS intracellular partner protein. Introducing extrinsic tryptophans into proteins in complex supramol. systems thus opens new avenues for NMR investigations in solution
