Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the receptor-uncoupled mutant of Galphai1.

ABSTRACT: In order to understand the molecular mechanisms by which G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) activate G proteins, the K349P mutant of Galpha(i1) (K349P), which is unable to couple to the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, was prepared and its crystals were grown along with those of wild-type Galpha(i1) protein (WT). The two proteins were crystallized under almost identical conditions, thus enabling a detailed structural comparison. The crystallization conditions performed well irrespective of the identity of the bound nucleotide (GDP or GTPgammaS) and the crystals diffracted to resolutions of 2.2 A (WT.GDP), 2.8 A (WT.GTPgammaS), 2.6 A (K349P.GDP) and 3.2 A (K349P.GTPgammaS).

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human autotaxin.

Project description:Autotaxin (ATX), which is also known as ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (NPP2 or ENPP2) or phosphodiesterase Iα (PD-Iα), is an extracellular lysophospholipase D which generates lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). ATX stimulates tumour-cell migration, angiogenesis and metastasis and is an attractive target for cancer therapy. For crystallographic studies, the α isoform of human ATX was overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 3.0 Å resolution from a monoclinic crystal form belonging to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 311.4, b = 147.9, c = 176.9 Å, β = 122.6°.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of a nonstructural protein 15 mutant from Human coronavirus 229E.

Project description:Nonstructural protein 15 (nsp15), also called endoribonuclease, is a gene product of open reading frame 1b (ORF 1b) in coronaviruses. It is an important enzyme in the transcription/replication process involved in discontinuous negative-strand RNA synthesis. In this work, mutants of nsp15 from Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) were made based on structural analysis of the homologous nsp15s in Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV). The I26A/N52A mutant of nsp15 was overexpressed, purified and crystallized, and this mutant led to a trimeric form rather than hexamers or monomers. Crystals of trimeric nsp15 were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol as a precipitant and diffracted to 2.5?Å resolution. The crystals belonged to space group C2221, with unit-cell parameters a = 85.9, b = 137.5, c = 423.1?Å, ? = ? = ? = 90°.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase.

Project description:Quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (QPRTase) is a key NAD-biosynthetic enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of quinolinic acid to 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate, yielding nicotinic acid mononucleotide. Homo sapiens QPRTase (Hs-QPRTase) appeared as a hexamer during purification and the protein was crystallized. Diffraction data were collected and processed at 2.8 Å resolution. Native Hs-QPRTase crystals belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=76.2, b=137.1, c=92.7 Å, β=103.8°. Assuming the presence of six molecules in the asymmetric unit, the calculated Matthews coefficient is 2.46 Å3 Da(-1), which corresponds to a solvent content of 49.9%.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of a bacterial Asn-transamidosome.

Project description:Most canonical aminoacyl-tRNAs are synthesized directly by their cognate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs), but glutaminyl-tRNA(Gln) and asparaginyl-tRNA(Asn) are synthesized indirectly by two-step processes. These processes are catalyzed by the transamidosome, a large ribonucleoprotein particle composed of GatA, GatB, GatC, aaRS and tRNA. In this study, the Asn-transamidosome from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was reconstructed and crystallized by mixing purified GatCAB complex, AspRS and tRNA(Asn). The crystal of the Asn-transamidosome belonged to space group P2?, with unit-cell parameters a=93.3, b=186.0, c=287.8?Å, ?=93.3°, and diffracted to 3.73?Å resolution. Preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis showed that the asymmetric unit contained two Asn-transamidosomes, each composed of two GatCABs, one AspRS dimer and two tRNAAsns, indicating that the construction of the current Asn-transamidosome differs from that of Thermus thermophilus.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the curli transporter CsgG.

Project description:Gram-negative bacteria have eight known protein secretion systems. The type-VIII secretion system, also known as the curli biosynthesis system, is responsible for the formation of aggregative fibres known in Escherichia coli as curli. Curli are extracellular proteinaceous fibres primarily involved in bacterial biofilm formation and attachment to nonbiotic surfaces. The secretion of curli subunits depends on a dedicated lipoprotein, CsgG, which is found to form an oligomeric secretion channel in the outer membrane. A nonlipidated mutant of CsgG was expressed and crystallized in a soluble form. The crystals diffracted to 3.15 Å resolution and belong to space group P1 with a unit cell containing a predicted 16 molecules per asymmetric unit.
