Supplementary Figure 6 | In vitro characterisation of the metal-binding activity of two TTHA1718 mutants, C11S/C14S and C11A/C14A. 2D 1H-15N HSQC spectra of wild type TTHA1718 (a), C11S/C14S (b) and C11A/C14A (c). For each panel, two spectra measured in M9 medium (red) and in M9 medium supplemented with an excess of a metal salts solution (ZnSO4, MnSO4 and CuSO4) (black) are overlaid. The final concentrations of these three metal ions were 200 &M, 50 &M and 35 &M, respectively, which are 50 times higher than the concentrations used to supplement the in cell growth in M9 medium. Upon the addition of the metal mixture to wild type TTHA1718, significant line broadening and/or chemical shift changes were found for residues distributed around the putative metal-binding loop (indicated in a), while no significant changes were found for the C11S/C14S or C11A/C14A mutants, suggesting that these two mutants lack metal-binding activity.

Supplementary Figure 7 | Characterisation of the metal-binding activity of two TTHA1718 mutants, C11S/C14S and C11A/C14A in E. coli cells. 2D 1H-15N HSQC spectra of wild type TTHA1718 (a), C11S/C14S (b) and C11A/C14A (c) measured in living E. coli cells. Each panel shows two spectra measured in M9 medium (red) and in M9 medium supplemented by an excess of a metal salts solution (ZnSO4, MnSO4 and CuSO4) (black) overlaid. The final concentrations of the three metal ions were 200 &M, 50 &M and 35 &M, respectively. The metal mixture was added into the E. coli culture an hour before the cells were harvested. For wild type TTHA1718 in E. coli cells in the presence of excess Zn2+, Mn2+ and Cu2+ ions in the medium, additional line broadening and chemical shift changes similar to those seen in the in vitro experiments (supplementary Fig. 6a) were observed while no significant change was found for either mutant.

sections taken at the position indicated by the dotted lines are shown above the corresponding 2D spectra (a, b and c, respectively). From the cross peak intensities, the concentrations of TTHA1718 in the in-cell NMR samples collected after 1 hour or 30 minutes were estimated to be 1.2-1.6 and 0.6-0.8 mM, respectively. g, 1HN-1H cross-sections corresponding to the 15N frequencies of residues, Glu32, Val33, Ser34 and Glu39 extracted from the 3D 15N-separated NOESY-HSQC spectra of TTHA1718 in-cell NMR samples with incubation times of 3 hours, 1 hour and 30 minutes prior to cell harvest. All three 3D 15N-NOESY spectra were measured with essentially identical parameters, and the spectrum with 3 hours’ incubation was analysed to obtain NOE-derived distance restraints for structure calculations. The cross peaks due to inter-residue and intra-residue NOEs are indicated annotated in red on the spectrum with 3 hours’ incubation. Intra-residue NOEs are indicated by blue boxes and annotated. Even for the samples with 1 hour and 30 minutes incubation time, we could identify 74% (364) and 61% (299) of all cross peaks (487) observed for the sample with 3 hours’ incubation time and used for the structure calculation.

Supplementary Figure 10 | In-cell NMR spectra of rat calmodulin in E. coli cells. a, 2D 1H-15N HSQC spectrum of rat calmodulin in E. coli JM109 (DE3) cells. The concentration of calmodulin in in-cell NMR samples was estimated to be 1.0-1.5 mM by SDS-PAGE. Note that 1H-15N HSQC spectra with equivalent quality were measured when using HMS174(DE3) as host E. coli cells, while 1H-15N correlation cross peaks were extremely broadened when using BL21(DE3) as host cells. b, Overlaid 1HN-13C" cross-sections of the 3D HNCA (black) and the HN(CO)CA (red) spectra corresponding to the 15N frequencies of residues from Thr44 to Gln49. Sequential connectivities are represented by dashed red lines. The positions of the cross peaks due to these residues in 2D 1H-15N-HSQC are indicated in panel a. c, 1HN-1H cross-sections corresponding to the 15N frequencies of residues from Leu4 to Gln8 extracted from the 3D 15N-separated NOESY-HSQC spectrum. Sequential connectivities of HN-HN NOEs are indicated as dashed red lines. The positions of the cross peaks due to residues, Leu4 to Gln8 are also indicated in panel a.

Supplementary Figure 11 | Longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) 15N relaxation data of TTHA1718 in living E. coli cells. 15N relaxation data in living E. coli cells and in vitro were obtained by measuring 1D 15N-edited 15N T1 or T2 relaxation experiments with various relaxation delays on samples selectively labelled with 15N-lysine. Each relaxation experiment was repeated 4-5 times for statistical analysis. The 2D 1H-15N HSQC spectrum (c) and its 1D projection (a) of lysine selectively 15N-labelled TTHA1718 in living E. coli cells are shown. Corresponding 2D and 1D spectra measured in vitro are shown in d and b, respectively. 15N T1 and T2 data for the backbone amide 15N nuclei of lysine residues of TTHA1718 in E. coli cells (e and g) and in vitro (f and h) are displayed with their single-exponential least-squares best-fit curves. Error bars, if not shown, lie within the size of symbols used to indicate the data points. T1 values were obtained by using 11 relaxation

delays of 15, 55, 105, 155, 255, 405, 505, 755, 1005, 1205 and 1505 ms. T2 values were obtained using 5 relaxation delays (14.4, 28.8, 43.2, 72.0 and 100.8 ms) for in-cell samples and 6 relaxation delays (14.4, 43.2, 72.0, 115.2, 172.8 and 230.4 ms) for in vitro samples. In the analysis of in-cell samples, data for Lys23 were excluded since the amide resonance is overlapped in the acquisition dimension with a sharp background signal (represented with ' in panel c). The spatial distribution of the 9 lysine residues in TTHA1718 is shown in panel i.
