The MgtE family of Mg(2+) transporters is ubiquitously conserved in all domains of life. The cytosolic domains of the MgtE Mg(2+) transporters include a cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS) domain which is known to play a regulatory function in transporter proteins. The cytosolic domain of MgtE from Thermus thermophilus was overexpressed, purified and crystallized in the presence and absence of Mg(2+). The crystals formed in the presence of Mg(2+) diffracted X-rays to 2.3 A resolution using synchro ...[more]
