AbstractSite-specific labeling of proteins is often a prerequisite for biophysical and biochemical characterization. Chemical modification of a unique cysteine residue is among the most facile methods for site-specific labeling of proteins. However, many proteins have multiple reactive cysteines, which must be mutated to other residues to enable labeling of unique positions. This trial-and-error process often results in cysteine-free proteins with reduced activity or stability. Herein we describe a general methodology to rationally engineer cysteine-less proteins. Briefly, natural variation across orthologues is exploited to identify suitable cysteine replacements compatible with protein activity and stability. As a proof-of-concept, we recount the successful engineering of a cysteine-less mutant of the group II chaperonin from methanogenic archaeon Methanococcus maripaludis. A webapp, REP-X (Replacement at Endogenous Positions from eXtant sequences), which enables users to design their own cysteine-less protein variants, will make this rational approach widely available.
