Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the glucuronoyl esterase catalytic domain from Hypocrea jecorina.

ABSTRACT: The catalytic domain of the glucuronoyl esterase from Hypocrea jecorina (anamorph Trichoderma reesei) was overexpresssed, purified and crystallized by the sitting-drop vapor-diffusion method using 1.4 M sodium/potassium phosphate pH 6.9. The crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.9 A resolution. This is the first enzyme with glucoronoyl esterase activity to be crystallized; its structure will be valuable in lignocellulose-degradation research.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of Hypocrea jecorina Cel7A in two new crystal forms.

Project description:Cel7A (previously known as cellobiohydrolase I) from Hypocrea jecorina was crystallized in two crystalline forms, neither of which have been previously reported. Both forms co-crystallize under the same crystallization conditions. The first crystal form belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a=152.5, b=44.9, c=57.6?Å, ?=101.2°, and diffracted X-rays to 1.5?Å resolution. The second crystal form belonged to space group P6?22, with unit-cell parameters a=b?155, c?138?Å, and diffracted X-rays to 2.5?Å resolution. The crystals were obtained using full-length Cel7A, which consists of a large 434-residue N-terminal catalytic domain capable of cleaving cellulose, a 27-residue flexible linker and a small 36-residue C-terminal carbohydrate-binding module (CBM). However, a preliminary analysis of the electron-density maps suggests that the linker and CBM are disordered in both crystal forms. Complete refinement and structure analysis are currently in progress.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the MIF4G domain of DAP5.

Project description:Death-associated protein 5 (DAP5) is a member of the eIF4G family of scaffolding proteins that mediate cap-independent translation initiation by recruiting the translational machinery to internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs) on mRNA. The MIF4G domain of DAP5 directly interacts with the eukaryotic initiation factors eIF4A and eIF3 and enhances the translation of several viral and cellular IRESs. Here, the crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the MIF4G domain of DAP5 is presented.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the middle domain of Paip1.

Project description:The poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) simultaneously interacts with the poly(A) tail of mRNAs and the scaffolding protein eIF4G to mediate mRNA circularization, resulting in stimulation of protein translation. PABP is regulated by the PABP-interacting protein Paip1. Paip1 is thought to act as a translational activator in 5' cap-dependent translation by interacting with PABP and the initiation factors eIF4A and eIF3. Here, the crystallization and preliminary diffraction analysis of the middle domain of Paip1 (Paip1M), which produces crystals that diffract to a resolution of 2.2 A, are presented.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of a thermostable GDSL-family esterase, EstL5, from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans T2.

Project description:The novel thermostable esterase EstL5 belonging to the GDSL family exhibits a unique cold-adaptation feature at low temperatures. To better understand its biochemical and enzymatic properties, recombinant EstL5 protein was purified and crystallized using the vapour-diffusion method. The EstL5 crystals diffracted X-rays to 2.79 Å resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source, belonged to the tetragonal space group P41212 or P43212, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 101.51, c = 124.22 Å, and are expected to contain two molecules in each asymmetric unit. To obtain initial phases, selenomethionyl-substituted protein was overproduced. Purified SeMet-labelled EstL5 protein was crystallized and formed crystals that diffracted to a resolution of 3.0 Å.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction of the ZO-binding domain of human occludin.

Project description:Occludin is a tight-junction protein controlling the integrity of endothelial and epithelial cell layers. It forms complexes with the cytoplasmic proteins ZO-1, ZO-2 and ZO-3. The ZO-binding domain in the C-terminal cytoplasmic region of human occludin has previously been isolated and identified. This domain, as expressed in a bacterial system or isolated from native cellular occludin, maintains its ability to bind ZO-1 and ZO-2. The crystallization conditions of the human ZO-binding domain are reported here. The crystals diffract to 2.3 A resolution and were shown to belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 33.3, b = 35.4, c = 107.3 A.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human importin ?-Snail zinc finger domain complex.

Project description:Snail is a C2H2-type zinc finger transcriptional repressor that induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition by repression of E-cadherin expression levels during embryonic development and tumour progression. Snail is imported into the nucleus by importin ? through direct binding with its four zinc finger domain. The complex between importin ? and Snail four zinc finger domain was crystallized in order to understand the nuclear transport mechanism of Snail. The constituents of the complex were separately expressed and were then co-purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 228.2, b = 77.5, c = 72.0?Å, ? = 100.9° and diffracted to 2.5?Å resolution.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of domain-chimeric L-(2S,3S)-butanediol dehydrogenase.

Project description:A domain-chimeric L-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (chimera L-BDH), which was designed to possess both the S-configuration specificity of L-BDH and the stability of meso-BDH, was constructed by exchanging the respective domains of these two BDHs. However, chimera L-BDH possessed a lower enzymatic function than expected based on the two original enzymes. To elucidate the causes of the decreased stability and substrate specificity, crystallization of the protein was performed. Chimera L-BDH was purified to homogeneity via ammonium sulfate fractionation and three column-chromatography steps, and was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belonged to space group C2221, diffracted synchrotron radiation to 1.58?Å resolution and were most likely to contain two molecules in the asymmetric unit.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the DDX3 RNA helicase domain.

Project description:DDX3 is a human RNA helicase that is involved in RNA processing and important human diseases. This enzyme belongs to the DEAD-box protein family, the members of which are characterized by the presence of nine conserved motifs including the Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp motif that defines the family. DDX3 has two distinct domains: an ATP-binding domain in the central region of the protein and a helicase domain in the carboxy-terminal region. The helicase domain of DDX3 was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Crystallization experiments yielded crystals that were suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis. The final crystallization conditions were a reservoir solution consisting of 2 M ammonium sulfate, 0.1 M imidazole pH 6.4 plus 5 mM spermine tetrahydrochloride and a protein solution containing 10 mM HEPES, 500 mM ammonium sulfate pH 8.0. The crystals of the helicase domain belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 43.85, b = 60.72, c = 88.39 A, alpha = gamma = 90, beta = 101.02 degrees , and contained three molecules per asymmetric unit. These crystals diffracted to a resolution limit of 2.2 A using synchrotron radiation at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and the Swiss Light Source (SLS).
