Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase from Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: The deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase gene from Arabidopsis thaliana was expressed and the gene product was purified. Crystallization was performed by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 298 K using 2 M ammonium sulfate as the precipitant. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.2 A resolution using Cu K alpha radiation. The crystal belongs to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 69.90, b = 70.86 A, c = 75.55 A. Assuming the presence of a trimer in the asymmetric unit, the solvent content was 30%, with a V(M) of 1.8 A3 Da(-1).

AtNPR4 from Arabidopsis thaliana: expression, purification, crystallization and crystallographic analysis.

Project description:Salicylic acid (SA) is an important phytohormone that is involved in the regulation of plant defence, growth and development. A large number of proteins have been shown to have the ability to interact with SA, and NPR4 has been demonstrated to be a receptor of SA that plays significant roles in the innate immune response of plants. In this study, Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells were used to express full-length AtNPR4 from Arabidopsis thaliana. To facilitate crystallization, T4 lysozyme (T4L) was added to the N-terminus of the AtNPR4 protein. The recombinant T4L-AtNPR4 protein was expressed, purified and crystallized using the sitting-drop and hanging-drop vapour-diffusion methods. The T4L-AtNPR4 crystals have symmetry consistent with space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 93.7, b = 85.8, c = 88.2?Å, ? = 90° and one molecule per asymmetric unit. The best crystal diffracted to a resolution of 2.75?Å. Structure determination is in progress.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a C2 protein from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:An uncharacterized protein from Arabidopsis thaliana consisting of a single C2 domain (At3g17980) was cloned into the pETM11 vector and expressed in Escherichia coli, allowing purification to homogeneity in a single chromatographic step. Good-quality diffracting crystals were obtained using vapour-diffusion techniques. The crystals diffracted to 2.2 Å resolution and belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 35.3, b = 88.9, c = 110.6 Å. A promising molecular-replacement solution has been found using the structure of the C2 domain of Munc13-C2b (PDB entry 3kwt) as the search model.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana dynamin-related protein 1A GTPase-GED fusion protein.

Project description:Plant-specific dynamin-related proteins play crucial roles in cell-plate formation, endocytosis or exocytosis, protein sorting to the vacuole and plasma membrane and the division of mitochondria and chloroplasts. In order to determine the crystal structure and thus to obtain a better understanding of the biological functions and mechanisms of dynamin-related proteins in plant cells, the GTPase domain of Arabidopsis thaliana dynamin-related protein 1A (AtDRP1A) fused to its GTPase effector domain (GED) was crystallized in a nucleotide-associated form using polyethylene glycol 3350 as precipitant. The hexagonal crystals (space group P6(1)) had unit-cell parameters a = b = 146.2, c = 204.3 Å, and diffraction data were collected to 3.6 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. Four molecules, comprising two functional dimers, are assumed per asymmetric unit, corresponding to a Matthews coefficient of 3.9 Å(3) Da(-1) according to the molecular weight of 39 kDa.

GPX3 from Arabidopsis thaliana: cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis.

Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3) gene encodes a glutathione peroxidase with roles in H2O2 homeostasis and signalling. The GPX3 gene sequence was cloned into pGEX-6P1 and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The GPX3 protein was purified to homogeneity in two chromatographic steps. Various lengths of the GPX3 sequence were used to obtain proteins that yielded crystals using vapour-diffusion techniques, but only GPX3ΔN36 (lacking 36 amino acids from the N-terminus) showed a good diffraction pattern. Its crystals diffracted to 2.8 Å resolution and belonged to space group P65, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 98.241, c = 42.057 Å.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of Deg5 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana Deg5 is an ATP-independent serine protease which resides on the luminal side of the thylakoid in chloroplasts. Deg5 and another Deg/HtrA-family protease, Deg8, have a synergistic function in the turnover of the D1 protein of photosystem II (PSII), which is prone to damage arising from high light exposure. An inactive mutant of the protein, Deg5(S266A), was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. After purification and crystallization, crystals that diffracted to 2.6?Å resolution were obtained. The crystals belonged to the monoclinic space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 109.1, b = 126.0, c = 83.3?Å, ? = 102.9°, and contained three molecules in the asymmetric unit. The calculated Matthews coefficient and solvent content were 3.0?Å(3)?Da(-1) and 59.0%, respectively.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana BRI1-associated kinase 1 (BAK1) cytoplasmic domain.

Project description:BRI1-associated kinase 1 (BAK1) is a member of the plant receptor-like kinase (RLK) superfamily. BAK1 has been shown to initiate brassinosteroid (BR) signalling and innate immune responses in plants by forming receptor complexes with both brassinosteroid-insensitive 1 (BRI1) and flagellin-sensing 2 (FLS2). To gain a better understanding of the structural details and the mechanism of action of the BAK1 kinase domain, recombinant BAK1 cytoplasmic domain has been expressed, purified and crystallized at 291 K using PEG 3350 as a precipitant. A 2.6 Å resolution data set was collected from a single flash-cooled crystal at 100 K. This crystal belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 70.3, b = 75.6, c = 71.9 Å, β = 93.1°. Assuming the presence of one molecule in the asymmetric unit, the Matthews coefficient was 2.6 Å(3) Da(-1).

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of release factor eRF1-1 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Peptide release factor 1 (RF1) regulates the termination of translation in protein synthesis by recognizing the stop codons. The eukaryotic RF1s (eRF1s) from Arabidopsis thaliana and human have different stop-codon preferences even though they share high sequence similarity. Based on known RF1 structures, it has been suggested that the specificity depends on both the local structure and the domain arrangement, but the lack of a structure of Arabidopsis eRF1 hinders a detailed comparison. To reveal the mechanism of stop-codon recognition and compare it with that of human eRF1, one of the three Arabidopsis eRF1s, AteRF1-1, was studied and a preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis is reported here. The protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized at room temperature using the vapour-diffusion method. Crystals were grown from 1.6 M lithium sulfate, 0.1 M Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 2%(v/v) PEG 400 and diffracted to 3.77 Å resolution. The data were processed in point group 622, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 136.6, c = 325.7 Å.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human cystathionine ?-synthase.

Project description:Human cystathionine ?-synthase (CBS) is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent hemeprotein, whose catalytic activity is regulated by S-adenosylmethionine. CBS catalyzes the ?-replacement reaction of homocysteine (Hcy) with serine to yield cystathionine. CBS is a key regulator of plasma levels of the thrombogenic Hcy and deficiency in CBS is the single most common cause of homocystinuria, an inherited metabolic disorder of sulfur amino acids. The properties of CBS enzymes, such as domain organization, oligomerization degree or regulatory mechanisms, are not conserved across the eukaryotes. The current body of knowledge is insufficient to understand these differences and their impact on CBS function and physiology. To overcome this deficiency, we have addressed the crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a protein construct (hCBS516-525) that contains the full-length CBS from Homo sapiens (hCBS) and just lacks amino-acid residues 516-525, which are located in a disordered loop. The human enzyme yielded crystals belonging to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a=124.98, b=136.33, c=169.83?Å and diffracting X-rays to a resolution of 3.0?Å. The crystal structure appears to contain two molecules in the asymmetric unit which presumably correspond to a dimeric form of the enzyme.

The crystal structure of the Leishmania major deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase in complex with nucleotide analogues, dUMP, and deoxyuridine.

Project description:Members of the Leishmania genus are the causative agents of the life-threatening disease leishmaniasis. New drugs are being sought due to increasing resistance and adverse side effects with current treatments. The knowledge that dUTPase is an essential enzyme and that the all α-helical dimeric kinetoplastid dUTPases have completely different structures compared with the trimeric β-sheet type dUTPase possessed by most organisms, including humans, make the dimeric enzymes attractive drug targets. Here, we present crystal structures of the Leishmania major dUTPase in complex with substrate analogues, the product dUMP and a substrate fragment, and of the homologous Campylobacter jejuni dUTPase in complex with a triphosphate substrate analogue. The metal-binding properties of both enzymes are shown to be dependent upon the ligand identity, a previously unseen characteristic of this family. Furthermore, structures of the Leishmania enzyme in the presence of dUMP and deoxyuridine coupled with tryptophan fluorescence quenching indicate that occupation of the phosphate binding region is essential for induction of the closed conformation and hence for substrate binding. These findings will aid in the development of dUTPase inhibitors as potential new lead anti-trypanosomal compounds.
