Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase homologue from Esherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: 6-Pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase from E. coli (ePTPS) has been crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Hexagonal- and rectangular-shaped crystals were obtained. Diffraction data were collected from the hexagonal and rectangular crystals to 3.0 and 2.3 A resolution, respectively. The hexagonal plate-shaped crystals belonged to space group P321, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 112.59, c = 68.82 A , and contained two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The rectangular crystals belonged to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 112.76, b = 117.66, c = 153.57 A , and contained six molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure of ePTPS in both crystal forms has been determined by molecular replacement.

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.

Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of LsrR from Escherichia coli.

Project description:In Escherichia coli, the lsr operon is composed of six genes lsrACDBFG which regulate uptake and modification of the signalling molecule AI-2. LsrR is a repressor of the lsr operon and itself, which can bind phospho-AI-2 and be released from the promoter region of the operon and thus activate gene expression. LsrR fused with an HHHHHH sequence at the C-terminus was expressed, purified and crystallized in order to determine its structure and elucidate the molecular mechanism of repression. The crystal belonged to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a=79.84, b=116.65, c=186.04 A, and was estimated to contain two protein molecules per asymmetric unit.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human dihydrodipicolinate synthase-like protein (DHDPSL).

Project description:Human dihydrodipicolinate synthase-like protein (DHDPSL) is a gene product of unknown function. It is homologous to bacterial pyruvate-dependent aldolases such as dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS), which functions in lysine biosynthesis. However, it cannot have this function and instead is implicated in a genetic disorder that leads to excessive production of oxalate and kidney-stone formation. In order to better understand its function, DHDPSL was expressed as an MBP-fusion protein and crystallized using an in situ proteolysis protocol. Two crystal forms were obtained, both of which diffracted X-rays to approximately 2.0 Å resolution. One of these, belonging to space group P6(2)22 or P6(4)22 with unit-cell parameters a = b = 142.9, c = 109.8 Å, ? = ? = 90, ? = 120°, was highly reproducible and suitable for structure determination by X-ray crystallography.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of a PacL homologue from Listeria monocytogenes.

Project description:Ca(2+)-ATPases are members of a large family of membrane proteins that maintain the selective movement of cations across biological membranes. A putative Listeria monocytogenes Ca(2+)-ATPase (Lmo0818) was crystallized in an unknown functional state. The crystal belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and a complete data set was collected to 3.2 Å resolution. The molecular-replacement solution obtained revealed that Lmo0818 is likely to adopt an E2-like state mimicking the phosphorylated intermediate in the functional cycle of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) and a stacked bilayer `type I' packing in the crystal.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of spermidine acetyltransferase from Escherichia coli.

Project description:The spermidine acetyltransferase (SAT) from Escherichia coli catalyses the transfer of acetyl groups from acetyl-CoA to spermidine. SAT has been expressed and purified from E. coli. SAT was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method to obtain a more detailed insight into the molecular mechanism. Preliminary X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the crystals diffracted to 2.5 Å resolution and belonged to the cubic space group P23, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 148.7 Å. They contained four molecules per asymmetric unit.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the full-length cystathionine ?-synthase from Apis mellifera.

Project description:Cystathionine ?-synthase (CBS) is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the transsulfuration pathway, namely the condensation of serine with homocysteine to form cystathionine. Mutations in the CBS gene are the single most common cause of hereditary homocystinuria, a multisystemic disease affecting to various extents the vasculature, connective tissues and central nervous system. At present, the crystal structure of CBS from Drosophila melanogaster is the only available structure of the full-length enzyme. Here we describe a cloning, overexpression, purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a full-length CBS from Apis mellifera (AmCBS) which maintains 51 and 46% sequence identity with its Drosophila and human homologs, respectively. The AmCBS yielded crystals belonging to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=85.90, b=95.87, c=180.33?Å. Diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 3.0?Å. The crystal structure contained two molecules in the asymmetric unit which presumably correspond to the dimeric species observed in solution.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the 16S rRNA methyltransferase RsmI from Escherichia coli.

Project description:RsmI and RsmH are AdoMet-dependent methyltransferases that are responsible for the 2'-O-methylation and N(4)-methylation of C1402 of Escherichia coli 16S rRNA, respectively. Modification of this site has been found to play a role in fine-tuning the shape and function of the P-site to increase the decoding fidelity. It is interesting to study the mechanism by which C1402 can be methylated by both RsmI and RsmH. The crystal structure of RsmH in complex with AdoMet and cytidine has recently been determined and provided some implications for N(4)-methylation of this site. Here, the purification and crystallization of RsmI as well as its preliminary crystallographic analysis are reported. Co-crystallization of RsmI with AdoMet was carried out by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method and X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.60?Å resolution on beamline 1W2B at BSRF. The crystal contained three molecules per asymmetric unit and belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 121.9, b = 152.5, c = 54.2?Å, ? = 93.4°.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the catalytic core of cystathionine ?-synthase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Cystathionine ?-synthase (CBS; EC 4.2.1.22) catalyzes the condensation of homocysteine and serine to form cystathionine, with the release of water. In humans, deficiency in CBS activity is the most common cause of hyperhomocysteinaemia and homocystinuria. More than 160 pathogenic mutations in the human CBS gene have been described to date. Here, the purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the catalytic core of CBS from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScCBS) is described which, in contrast to other eukaryotic CBSs, lacks the N-terminal haem-binding domain and is considered to be a useful model for investigation of the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-mediated reactions of human CBS (hCBS). The purified protein yielded two different crystal forms belonging to space groups P41212 and P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 72.390, c = 386.794?Å and a = 58.156, b = 89.988, c = 121.687?Å, respectively. Diffraction data were collected to 2.7 and 3.1?Å resolution, respectively, using synchrotron radiation. Preliminary analysis of the X-ray data suggests the presence of ScCBS homodimers in both types of crystals.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of protein MJ1225 from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, a putative archaeal homologue of gamma-AMPK.

Project description:In mammals, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a heterotrimeric protein composed of a catalytic serine/threonine kinase subunit (alpha) and two regulatory subunits (beta and gamma). The gamma subunit senses the intracellular energy status by competitively binding AMP and ATP and is thought to be responsible for allosteric regulation of the whole complex. This work describes the purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis of protein MJ1225 from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, an archaeal homologue of gamma-AMPK. The purified protein was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Diffraction data for MJ1225 were collected to 2.3 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belonged to space group H32, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 108.95, c = 148.08 A, alpha = beta = 90.00, gamma = 120.00 degrees . Preliminary analysis of the X-ray data indicated that there was one molecule per asymmetric unit.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the 23S rRNA methyltransferase RlmM (Cm2498) from Escherichia coli.

Project description:RlmM is an AdoMet-dependent methyltransferase that is responsible for 2'-O-methylation of C2498 in the peptidyl-transferase loop of bacterial 23S rRNA. This modification occurs before assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit, and lack of C2498 methylation can cause a slight reduction in bacterial fitness. Here, the purification and crystallization of RlmM from Escherichia coli as well as its preliminary crystallographic analysis are presented. Cocrystallization of RlmM with AdoMet was carried out and X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 2.30 Å on beamline BL17U at the SSRF. However, electron density for AdoMet cannot be observed by comprehensive crystallographic analysis, indicating that it is not bound by RlmM during the cocrystallization process. The structure was solved by molecular replacement and refinement is in progress. The crystal contained one molecule in the asymmetric unit and belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 56.07, b = 59.38, c = 54.35 Å, ? = 94.84°, which differs from the P3(1) or P3(1)21 space groups of previously reported RlmM structures (PDB entries 4auk, 4atn and 4b17).
