Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of a variant of the ColE1 Rop protein.

ABSTRACT: Rop is the paradigm of a canonical four-alpha-helical bundle. Its loop region has attracted considerable interest because a single alanine-to-proline substitution (A31P) in the loop is sufficient to change the topology of this small protein. In order to further analyse the loop region as a possible folding-control element, the double mutant D30P/A31G (RopPG) was produced, purified and crystallized. The crystals belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 26.7, b = 38.8, c = 56.6 A, beta = 100.9 degrees and two molecules in the asymmetric unit. A complete data set was collected at 100 K to a resolution of 1.4 A using synchrotron radiation.

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 the human mismatch repair protein MutS?.

Project description:MutS? is a eukaryotic mismatch repair protein that preferentially targets extrahelical unpaired nucleotides and shares partial functional redundancy with MutS? (MSH2-MSH6). Although mismatch recognition by MutS? has been shown to involve a conserved Phe-X-Glu motif, little is known about the lesion-binding mechanism of MutS?. Combined MSH3/MSH6 deficiency triggers a strong predisposition to cancer in mice and defects in msh2 and msh6 account for roughly half of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer mutations. These three MutS homologs are also believed to play a role in trinucleotide repeat instability, which is a hallmark of many neurodegenerative disorders. The baculovirus overexpression and purification of recombinant human MutS? and three truncation mutants are presented here. Binding assays with heteroduplex DNA were carried out for biochemical characterization. Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the protein bound to a heteroduplex DNA substrate are also reported.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of effector protein MoHrip2 from Magnaporthe oryzae.

Project description:MoHrip2, a novel effector protein from the pathogenic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, was purified and crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. Native crystals and selenomethionine-labelled crystals were obtained using 2.2 M ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. A native data set was collected to 2.0 Å resolution at 100 K using an in-house X-ray source and a selenomethionine-labelled data set containing anomalous signal was collected to 1.8 Å resolution at 100 K using a synchrotron source. Based on the anomalous signal generated from the Se atom, the MoHrip2 structure was successfully solved using the single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) method.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of a rice Rac/Rop GTPase, OsRac1.

Project description:Small GTPases regulate a large variety of key cellular processes. Plant small Rac/Rop GTPases have recently received broad attention as it is becoming clear that these enzymes regulate various plant cellular processes. OsRac1, a rice Rac/Rop protein, is a key regulator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and induces immune responses. Although four structures of plant small GTPases have been reported, all of these were of the inactive form. Here, OsRac1 was purified and co-crystallized with the GTP analogue 5'-guanylyl imidodiphosphate (GMPPNP). The crystal belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and a complete data set was collected to 1.9?Å resolution.

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 the effector protein PevD1 from Verticillium dahliae.

Project description:The effector protein PevD1 from the pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae was purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Native crystals appeared in a solution consisting of 4.0?M sodium formate. A native data set was collected at 1.9?Å resolution at 100?K using an in-house X-ray source. Because of the absence of useful methinione in the protein sequence, derivative crystals that contained iodine were obtained by soaking in 1.25?M potassium iodide, and a data set that contained anomalous signal was collected using the same X-ray facility at a wavelength of 1.54?Å. The single-wavelength anomalous dispersion method was used to successfully solve the structure based on the anomalous signal generated from iodine.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the Hsp40 protein CPIP1 from Nicotiana tabacum.

Project description:Chaperones promote many different molecular processes, including the folding, targeting and degradation of proteins. The best-studied chaperone system consists of the Hsp70s and their co-chaperones the Hsp40s. Chaperone function can be hijacked by viruses in plants. Potato virus Y interacts via its coat protein with an Hsp40 from Nicotiana tabacum, referred to as NtCPIP1, in order to regulate replication. To understand the molecular determinants of this mechanism, different variants of NtCPIP1 were expressed, purified and crystallized. While crystals of wild-type NtCPIP1 diffracted to 8.0 Å resolution, the deletion mutant NtCPIP1-Δ(1:127) crystallized in space group P2(1)2(1)2 and diffracted to 2.4 Å resolution.
