Crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of SdiA from Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: SdiA enhances cell division by regulating the ftsQAZ operon in Escherichia coli as a transcription activator. In addition, SdiA is suggested to play a role in detecting quorum signals that emanate from other species. It is therefore a homologue of LuxR, a cognate quorum-sensing receptor that recognizes a quorum signal and activates the quorum responses. To elucidate the role of SdiA and its functional and structural relationship to LuxR, structural studies were performed on E. coli SdiA. Recombinant SdiA was overexpressed, purified and crystallized at 287 K using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction data from a native crystal were collected with 99.7% completeness to 2.7 A resolution with an R(merge) of 6.0%. The crystals belong to the hexagonal space group P6(1)22 or P6(5)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 130.47, c = 125.23 A.

Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of Escherichia coli PapD-like protein (EcpD).

Project description:Many Gram-negative bacteria are characterized by hair-like proteinaceous appendages on their surface known as fimbriae. In uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, fimbriae mediate attachment by binding to receptors on the host cell, often contributing to virulence and disease. E. coli PapD-like protein (EcpD) is a periplasmic chaperone that plays an important role in the proper folding and guiding of Yad fimbrial proteins to the outer membrane usher protein in a process known as pilus biogenesis. EcpD is essential for pilus biogenesis in uropathogenic E. coli and plays an important role in virulence. In the present study, EcpD was cloned, overexpressed, purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted to 1.67 Å resolution and belonged to the orthorhombic space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 100.3, b = 127.6, c = 45.9 Å. There was a single molecule in the asymmetric unit and the corresponding Matthews coefficient was calculated to be 3.02 Å(3) Da(-1), with 59% solvent content. Initial phases were determined by molecular replacement.

Expression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of the outer membrane protein OmpW from Escherichia coli.

Project description:OmpW is an eight-stranded 21 kDa molecular-weight beta-barrel protein from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. It is a major antigen in bacterial infections and has implications in antibiotic resistance and in the oxidative degradation of organic compounds. OmpW from Escherichia coli was cloned and the protein was expressed in inclusion bodies. A method for refolding and purification was developed which yields properly folded protein according to circular-dichroism measurements. The protein has been crystallized and crystals were obtained that diffracted to a resolution limit of 3.5 angstroms. The crystals belong to space group P422, with unit-cell parameters a = 122.5, c = 105.7 angstroms. A homology model of OmpW is presented based on known structures of eight-stranded beta-barrels, intended for use in molecular-replacement trials.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray characterization of aminopeptidase N from Escherichia coli.

Project description:A recombinant form of aminopeptidase N (molecular weight 99 kDa) from Escherichia coli was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using ammonium sulfate as a precipitating agent. The crystals belong to the hexagonal space group P3(1)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 120.5, c = 171.0 angstroms. The crystals are most likely to contain one molecule in the asymmetric unit, with a V(M) value of 3.62 angstroms3 Da(-1).

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of UspE from Escherichia coli.

Project description:Universal stress proteins (Usps) are among the most highly induced genes when bacteria are subjected to several stress conditions such as heat shock, nutrient starvation or the presence of oxidants or other stress agents. Escherichia coli has five small Usps and one tandem-type Usp. UspE (or YdaA) is the tandem-type Usp and consists of two Usp domains arranged in tandem. To date, the structure of UspE remains to be elucidated. To contribute to the molecular understanding of the function of the tandem-type UspE, UspE from E. coli was overexpressed and the recombinant protein was purified using Ni-NTA affinity, Q anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. Crystals of UspE were obtained by sitting-drop vapour diffusion. A diffraction data set was collected to a resolution of 3.2?Å from flash-cooled crystals. The crystals belonged to the tetragonal space group I4122 or I4322, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 121.1, c = 241.7?Å.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of YgjG from Escherichia coli.

Project description:Putrescine, one of the polyamines that are found in virtually all living organisms, has been implicated as an important biological material. The protein YgjG is involved in the putrescine-degradation pathway in Escherichia coli. The enzyme is a putrescine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase that belongs to the class III aminotransferases. In this study, YgjG from E. coli was overexpressed, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Diffraction data were collected to 2.1 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystal belonged to the primitive orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 121.1, b = 129.5, c = 131.3 Å, and is estimated to contain four molecules of YgjG per asymmetric unit.

Here, the cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of DAP epimerase from Escherichia coli are presented. Crystals were obtained in space group P4(1)2(1)2 and diffracted to 2.0 A resolution, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 89.4, c = 179.6 A.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of Escherichia coli RNase HI-dsRNA complexes.

Project description:RNase H binds RNA-DNA hybrid and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) duplexes with similar affinity, but only cleaves the RNA in the former. To potentially gain insight into the conformational origins of substrate recognition by the enzyme from Escherichia coli, cocrystallization experiments were carried out with RNase HI-dsRNA (enzyme-inhibitor) complexes. Crystals were obtained of two complexes containing 9-mer and 10-mer RNA duplexes that diffracted X-rays to 3.5 and 4 A resolution, respectively.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the inducible lysine decarboxylase from Escherichia coli.

Project description:The decameric inducible lysine decarboxylase (LdcI) from Escherichia coli has been crystallized in space groups C2 and C222(1); the Ta6Br12(2+) cluster was used to derivatize the C2 crystals. The method of single isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering (SIRAS) as implemented in SHELXD was used to solve the Ta6Br12(2+)-derivatized structure to 5 A resolution. Many of the Ta6Br12(2+)-binding sites had twofold and fivefold noncrystallographic symmetry. Taking advantage of this feature, phase modification was performed in DM. The electron-density map of LdcI displays many features in agreement with the low-resolution negative-stain electron-density map [Snider et al. (2006), J. Biol. Chem. 281, 1532-1546].

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of UbiG, an O-methyltransferase from Escherichia coli.

Project description:UbiG, an O-methyltransferase from the ubiquinone-biosynthesis pathway in Escherichia coli, catalyzes two O-methyl transfer steps. The primary structures of the O-methyltransferase enzyme family used in ubiquinone synthesis are conserved in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but their tertiary structures and catalytic mechanisms are not yet known. Here, UbiG with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag was expressed and crystallized. Crystals grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method diffracted to 2.00?Å resolution and belonged to space group C121, with unit-cell parameters a = 119.8, b = 58.6, c = 40.2?Å, ? = 105.3°. Both Matthews coefficient analysis and the self-rotation function suggested the presence of one molecule per asymmetric unit in the crystal, with a solvent content of 50.52% (V(M) = 2.48?Å(3)?Da(-1)).
