Purification, crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and phasing of an engineered single-chain PvuII restriction endonuclease.

ABSTRACT: The restriction endonuclease PvuII from Proteus vulgaris has been converted from its wild-type homodimeric form into the enzymatically active single-chain variant scPvuII by tandemly joining the two subunits through the peptide linker Gly-Ser-Gly-Gly. scPvuII, which is suitable for the development of programmed restriction endonucleases for highly specific DNA cleavage, was purified and crystallized. The crystals diffract to a resolution of 2.35 A and belong to space group P4(2), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 101.92, c = 100.28 A and two molecules per asymmetric unit. Phasing was successfully performed by molecular replacement.

Crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and SIRAS phasing of human ?-L-iduronidase.

Project description:Human lysosomal ?-L-iduronidase, whose deficiency causes mucopolysaccharidosis type I, was crystallized using sodium/potassium tartrate and polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant. Using synchrotron radiation, a native data set was collected from a single crystal at 100?K to 2.3?Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space group R3 with unit-cell dimensions of a=b=259.22, c=71.83?Å. To obtain the phase information, mercury-derivative crystals were prepared and a single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) data set was collected at the Hg peak wavelength. Phase calculation with the single isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering (SIRAS) method successfully yielded an interpretable electron-density map.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction of human S100A15.

Project description:Human S100A15 is a novel member of the S100 family of EF-hand calcium-binding proteins and was recently identified in psoriasis, where it is significantly upregulated in lesional skin. The protein is implicated as an effector in calcium-mediated signal transduction pathways. Although its biological function is unclear, the association of the 11.2 kDa S100A15 with psoriasis suggests that it contributes to the pathogenesis of the disease and could provide a molecular target for therapy. To provide insight into the function of S100A15, the protein was crystallized to visualize its structure and to further the understanding of how the many similar calcium-binding mediator proteins in the cell distinguish their cognate target molecules. The S100A15 protein has been cloned, expressed and purified to homogeneity and produced two crystal forms. Crystals of form I are triclinic, with unit-cell parameters a = 33.5, b = 44.3, c = 44.8 angstroms, alpha = 71.2, beta = 68.1, gamma = 67.8 degrees and an estimated two molecules in the asymmetric unit, and diffract to 1.7 angstroms resolution. Crystals of form II are monoclinic, with unit-cell parameters a = 82.1, b = 33.6, c = 52.2 angstroms, beta = 128.2 degrees and an estimated one molecule in the asymmetric unit, and diffract to 2.0 angstroms resolution. This structural analysis of the human S100A15 will further aid in the phylogenic comparison between the other members of the S100 protein family, especially the highly homologous paralog S100A7.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human chondroadherin.

Project description:Chondroadherin is a cartilage matrix protein that is known to mediate the adhesion of isolated chondrocytes. Its protein core is composed of 11 leucine-rich repeats flanked by cysteine-rich domains at the N- and C-terminal ends. Recombinant human chondroadherin was crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 56.4, b = 111.3, c = 128.5 A, beta = 92.2, and are most likely to contain four molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystals diffracted to at least 2.3 A using synchrotron radiation, but structure determination using molecular replacement has so far been unsuccessful.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of a plant subtilase.

Project description:The subtilase SBT3 from Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) was purified from a tomato cell culture and crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. A native data set was collected to 2.5 A resolution at 100 K using synchrotron radiation. For experimental phasing, CsCl-derivative and tetrakis(acetoxymercuri)methane (TAMM) derivative crystals were employed for MIRAS phasing. Three caesium sites and one TAMM site were identified, which allowed solution of the structure.

Purification, crystallization and X-ray diffraction analysis of dihydropyrimidinase from Dictyostelium discoideum.

Project description:Dihydropyrimidinase (EC 3.5.2.2) is the second enzyme in the reductive pyrimidine-degradation pathway and catalyses the hydrolysis of 5,6-dihydrouracil and 5,6-dihydrothymine to the corresponding N-carbamylated beta-amino acids. The recombinant enzyme from the slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum was overexpressed, purified and crystallized by the vapour-diffusion method. One crystal diffracted to better than 1.8 A resolution on a synchrotron source and was shown to belong to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 84.6, b = 89.6, c = 134.9 A and one molecule in the asymmetric unit.

PicW2 from Picea wilsonii: preparation, purification, crystallization and X-ray diffraction analysis.

Project description:Low temperature is a major limiting factor for plant growth and development. Dehydrin proteins are generally induced in response to low-temperature stress. In previous research, a full-length dehydrin gene, PicW2, was isolated from Picea wilsonii and its expression was associated with hardiness to cold. In order to gain insight into the mechanism of low-temperature tolerance by studying its three-dimensional crystal structure, prokaryotically expressed PicW2 dehydrin protein was purified using chitosan-affinity chromatography and gel filtration, and crystallized using the vapour-diffusion method. The crystal grew in a condition consisting of 0.1?M HEPES pH 8.0, 25%(w/v) PEG 3350 using 4?mg?ml-1 protein solution at 289?K. X-ray diffraction data were collected from a crystal at 100?K to 2.82?Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space group C121, with unit-cell parameters a = 121.55, b = 33.26, c = 73.39?Å, ? = ? = 90.00, ? = 109.01°. The asymmetric unit contained one molecule of the protein, with a corresponding Matthews coefficient of 2.87?Å3?Da-1 and a solvent content of 57.20%. Owing to a lack of structures of homologous dehydrin proteins, molecular-replacement trials failed. Data collection for selenium derivatization of PicW2 and crystal structure determination is currently in progress.

Crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and phasing of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from the fungus Cochliobolus lunatus.

Project description:17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from the filamentous fungus Cochliobolus lunatus (17beta-HSDcl) is an NADP(H)-dependent enzyme that preferentially catalyses the oxidoreduction of oestrogens and androgens. The enzyme belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily and is the only fungal hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase known to date. 17beta-HSDcl has recently been characterized and cloned and has been the subject of several functional studies. Although several hypotheses on the physiological role of 17beta-HSDcl in fungal metabolism have been formulated, its function is still unclear. An X-ray crystallographic study has been undertaken and the optimal conditions for crystallization of 17beta-HSDcl (apo form) were established, resulting in well shaped crystals that diffracted to 1.7 A resolution. The space group was identified as I4(1)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 67.14, c = 266.77 A. Phasing was successfully performed by Patterson search techniques. A catalytic inactive mutant Tyr167Phe was also engineered, expressed, purified and crystallized for functional and structural studies.

Fibronectin type III domains engineered to bind CD40L: cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of two complexes.

Project description:Tn3 proteins are a novel class of binding molecules based on the third fibronectin type III domain of human tenascin C. Target-specific Tn3 proteins are selected from combinatorial libraries in which three surface-exposed loops have been diversified. Here, the cocrystallization of two different Tn3 proteins in complex with CD40L, a therapeutic target for immunological disease, is reported. These crystal structures are the first to be reported of Tn3 proteins and will help to reveal how these engineered molecules achieve specific recognition of a cognate target.
