1H, 13C and 15N NMR assignments of cyclophilin LRT2 (OsCYP2) from rice

Cyclophilins are enzymes that catalyze the isomerization of a prolyl-peptide bond and are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. LRT2 (also known as OsCYP2) is a cyclophilin in rice (Oryza sativa), that has importance in lateral root development and stress tolerance. LRT2 is 172 amino acids long and has a molecular weight of 18.3 kDa. Here, we report the backbone and sidechain resonance assignments of H-1, C-13, N-15 in the LRT2 protein using several 2D and 3D heteronuclear NMR experiments at pH 6.7 and 298 K. Our chemical shift data analysis predicts a secondary structure like the cytosolic wheat cyclophilin TaCypA-1 with 87.7% sequence identity. These assignments will be useful for further analysis in the NMR studies for function and structure of this enzyme.
