Sequential {sup 1}H and {sup 15}N assignments of human FKBP, a cytosolic binding protein for the immunosuppressive agents FK506 and rapamycin, are reported. A combination of homonuclear and relayed heteronuclear experiments has enabled assignment of 98 of 99 backbone amide NHs, 119 of 120 C{sup {alpha}}Hs, 97 of 99 non-proline amide {sup 15}Ns, and 375 of 412 side-chain resonances of this 107-residue protein. Long-range NOEs are used to demonstrate that FKBP has a novel folding topology consisting of a five-stranded antiparallel {beta} sheet with +3, +1, {minus}3, +1 loop connectivity.
