Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the HA3 component of Clostridium botulinum type C progenitor toxin.

ABSTRACT: HA3, a 70 kDa haemagglutinating protein, is a precursor form of HA3a and HA3b, the subcomponents of Clostridium botulinum type C 16S progenitor toxin. In this report, recombinant HA3 protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. Diffraction data were collected to 2.6 A resolution and the crystal belonged to the hexagonal space group P6(3). Matthews coefficient and self-rotation function calculations indicate that there is probably one molecule of HA3 in the asymmetric unit. A search for heavy-atom derivatives has been undertaken.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of an HA17-HA70 (HA2-HA3) complex from Clostridium botulinum type C progenitor toxin.

Project description:The haemagglutinin (HA) complex of Clostridium botulinum type C toxin is composed of three types of subcomponents: HA33, HA17 and HA70 (also known as HA1, HA2 and HA3, respectively). Here, a 260?kDa HA17-HA70 complex was crystallized. His-tagged HA17 and maltose-binding-protein-tagged HA70 were expressed in Escherichia coli and their complex was affinity-purified using a combination of amylose resin chromatography and nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid agarose chromatography. Diffraction data were collected to 8.0?Å resolution and the crystal belonged to the tetragonal space group P4(1)2(1)2. The molecular-replacement solution indicated that one molecule of HA17 was bound to each HA70 monomer.

The purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of dihydrodipicolinate synthase from Clostridium botulinum.

Project description:In recent years, dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS; EC 4.2.1.52) has received considerable attention from both mechanistic and structural viewpoints. This enzyme, which is part of the diaminopimelate pathway leading to lysine, couples (S)-aspartate-beta-semialdehyde with pyruvate via a Schiff base to a conserved active-site lysine. In this paper, the expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of DHDPS from Clostridium botulinum, an important bacterial pathogen, are presented. The enzyme was crystallized in a number of forms, predominantly using PEG precipitants, with the best crystal diffracting to beyond 1.9 A resolution and displaying P4(2)2(1)2 symmetry. The unit-cell parameters were a = b = 92.9, c = 60.4 A. The crystal volume per protein weight (V(M)) was 2.07 A(3) Da(-1), with an estimated solvent content of 41%. The structure of the enzyme will help guide the design of novel therapeutics against the C. botulinum pathogen.

Genetic analysis of type E botulinum toxin-producing Clostridium butyricum strains.

Project description:Type E botulinum toxin (BoNT/E)-producing Clostridium butyricum strains isolated from botulism cases or soil specimens in Italy and China were analyzed by using nucleotide sequencing of the bont/E gene, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and Southern blot hybridization for the bont/E gene. Nucleotide sequences of the bont/E genes of 11 Chinese isolates and of the Italian strain BL 6340 were determined. The nucleotide sequences of the bont/E genes of 11 C. butyricum isolates from China were identical. The deduced amino acid sequence of BoNT/E from the Chinese isolates showed 95.0 and 96.9% identity with those of BoNT/E from C. butyricum BL 6340 and Clostridium botulinum type E, respectively. The BoNT/E-producing C. butyricum strains were divided into the following three clusters based on the results of RAPD assay, PFGE profiles of genomic DNA digested with SmaI or XhoI, and Southern blot hybridization: strains associated with infant botulism in Italy, strains associated with food-borne botulism in China, and isolates from soil specimens of the Weishan lake area in China. A DNA probe for the bont/E gene hybridized with the nondigested chromosomal DNA of all toxigenic strains tested, indicating chromosomal localization of the bont/E gene in C. butyricum. The present results suggest that BoNT/E-producing C. butyricum is clonally distributed over a vast area.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of NADH:rubredoxin oxidoreductase from Clostridium acetobutylicum.

Project description:NADH:rubredoxin oxidoreductase (NROR), an O(2)-inducible protein, is a versatile electron donor for scavengers of O(2) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Clostridium acetobutylicum. Recombinant NROR was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity; it was subsequently crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method at 293 K. Preliminary crystallographic analysis revealed that the crystals belonged to space group P4(1)22 or P4(3)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 98.6, c = 88.3 A, and diffracted to 2.1 A resolution. Assuming that the crystals contained one molecule per asymmetric unit, the Matthews coefficient was calculated to be 2.7 A(3) Da(-1) and the solvent content to be 54.1%.

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of glucuronoxylan xylanohydrolase (Xyn30A) from Clostridium thermocellum.

Project description:The modular carbohydrate-active enzyme belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 30 (GH30) from Clostridium thermocellum (CtXynGH30) is a cellulosomal protein which plays an important role in plant cell-wall degradation. The full-length CtXynGH30 contains an N-terminal catalytic module (Xyn30A) followed by a family 6 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM6) and a dockerin at the C-terminus. The recombinant protein has a molecular mass of 45 kDa. Preliminary structural characterization was carried out on Xyn30A crystallized in different conditions. All tested crystals belonged to space group P1 with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Molecular replacement has been used to solve the Xyn30A structure.

Molecular Assembly of Clostridium botulinum progenitor M complex of type E.

Project description:Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is released as a progenitor complex, in association with a non-toxic-non-hemagglutinin protein (NTNH) and other associated proteins. We have determined the crystal structure of M type Progenitor complex of botulinum neurotoxin E [PTC-E(M)], a heterodimer of BoNT and NTNH. The crystal structure reveals that the complex exists as a tight, interlocked heterodimer of BoNT and NTNH. The crystal structure explains the mechanism of molecular assembly of the complex and reveals several acidic clusters at the interface responsible for association at low acidic pH and disassociation at basic/neutral pH. The similarity of the general architecture between the PTC-E(M) and the previously determined PTC-A(M) strongly suggests that the progenitor M complexes of all botulinum serotypes may have similar molecular arrangement, although the neurotoxins apparently can take very different conformation when they are released from the M complex.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the vWA domain of human anthrax toxin receptor 1.

Project description:The Gram-positive spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis causes anthrax by secreting anthrax toxin, which consists of protective antigen (PA), lethal factor and oedema factor. Binding of PA to receptors triggers the multi-step process of anthrax toxin entry into target cells. Two distinct cellular receptors, ANTXR1 (also known as tumour endothelial marker 8; TEM8) and ANTXR2 (also known as capillary morphogenesis protein 2; CMG2), for anthrax toxin have been identified. Although the crystal structure of the extracellular von Willebrand factor A (vWA) domain of CMG2 has been reported, the difference between the vWA domains of TEM8 and CMG2 remains unclear because there are no structural data for the TEM8 vWA domain. In this report, the TEM8 vWA domain was expressed, purified and crystallized. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.8 Å resolution from a single crystal, which belonged to space group P1 with unit-cell parameters a=65.9, b=66.1, c=74.4 Å, α=63.7, β=88.2, γ=59.9°.

Protein expression, characterization, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of a Fic protein from Clostridium difficile.

Project description:Fic domains in proteins are found in abundance in nature from the simplest prokaryotes to animals. Interestingly, Fic domains found in two virulence factors of Gram-negative bacteria have recently been demonstrated to catalyse the transfer of the AMP moiety from ATP to small host GTPases. This post-translational modification has attracted considerable interest and a role for adenylylation in pathology and physiology is emerging. This work was aimed at the structural characterization of a newly identified Fic protein of the Gram-positive bacterium Clostridium difficile. A constitutively active inhibitory helix mutant of C. difficile Fic was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the vapour-diffusion technique. Preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis shows that the crystals diffract to at least 1.68?Å resolution at a synchrotron X-ray source. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2?2?2?, with unit-cell parameters a=45.6, b=80.8, c=144.7?Å, ?=?=?=90°. Two molecules per asymmetric unit corresponds to a Matthews coefficient of 2.37?Å3?Da(-1) and a solvent content of 48%.

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of D-ribose-5-phosphate isomerase from Clostridium thermocellum.

Project description:Rare sugars are used for many industrial and medical purposes and are produced by the interconversion between aldoses and ketoses catalyzed by sugar and sugar-phosphate isomerases. Recently, Clostridium thermocellum d-ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (CTRPI), an aldose-ketose isomerase, was cloned in order to synthesize d-allose and its substrate specificity was further characterized for industrial usage. CTRPI has a novel substrate specificity that differs from those of other isomerases, which have broad substrate specificities. CTRPI prefers aldose substrates such as l-talose, d-ribose and d-allose. CTRPI was purified and crystallized in order to determine its three-dimensional structure and thus to elucidate its enzymatic reaction mechanism and understand its substrate specificity. The crystal belonged to the trigonal space group P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 69.5, c = 154.4 angstrom, and diffracted to 1.9 angstrom resolution. According to Matthews coefficient calculations, the crystallographic structure consists of a dimer in the asymmetric unit, with a V(M) of 3.2 angstrom(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 61.7%.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human peptidylarginine deiminase type I.

Project description:Peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) catalyzes the post-translational conversion of peptidylarginine to peptidylcitrulline in the presence of calcium ions. Among the five known human PAD isozymes (PAD1-4 and PAD6), PAD1 exhibits the broadest substrate specificity. Crystals of PAD1 obtained using polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant diffracted to 3.70 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. Two PAD1 molecules were contained in the asymmetric unit and the crystals belonged to space group P6(1), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 90.3, c = 372.3 Å. The solvent content was 58.2%.
