Crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and preliminary structure determination of the polygalacturonase PehA from Agrobacterium vitis.

ABSTRACT: Polygalacturonases are pectate-degrading enzymes that belong to glycoside hydrolase family 28 and hydrolyze the alpha-1,4 glycosidic bond between neighboring galacturonasyl residues of the homogalacturonan substrate. The acidic polygalacturonase PehA from Agrobacterium vitis was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, where it accumulated in the periplasmic fraction. It was purified to homogeneity via a two-step chromatography procedure and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique. PehA crystals belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 52.387, b = 62.738, c = 149.165 A, beta = 89.98 degrees . Crystals diffracted to 1.59 A resolution and contained two molecules per asymmetric unit. An initial structure determination by molecular replacement indicated a right-handed parallel beta-helix fold.

Crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and preliminary structure determination of the TIR domain from the flax resistance protein L6.

Project description:The Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain is a protein-protein interaction domain that is found in both animal and plant immune receptors. In animal Toll-like receptor signalling, both homotypic TIR-domain interactions between two receptor molecules and heterotypic interactions between receptors and TIR-domain-containing adaptors are required for initiation of an innate immune response. The TIR domains in cytoplasmic nucleotide-binding/leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) plant disease-resistance proteins are not as well characterized, but recent studies have suggested a role in defence signalling. In this study, the crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and preliminary structure determination of the TIR domain from the flax resistance protein L6 (L6TIR) are reported. Plate-like crystals of L6TIR were obtained using PEG 200 as a precipitant and diffracted X-rays to 2.3 Å resolution. Pseudo-translation complicated the initial assignment of the crystal symmetry, which was ultimately found to correspond to space group P2(1)2(1)2 with two molecules per asymmetric unit. The structure of L6TIR was solved by molecular replacement using the structure of the TIR-domain-containing protein AT1G72930 from Arabidopsis as a template.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of a novel keto-deoxy-D-galactarate (KDG) dehydratase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Project description:D-galacturonic acid is the main component of pectin. It could be used to produce affordable renewable fuels, chemicals and materials through biotechnical conversion. Keto-deoxy-D-galactarate (KDG) dehydratase is an enzyme in the oxidative pathway of D-galacturonic acid in Agrobacterium tumefaciens (At). It converts 3-deoxy-2-keto-L-threo-hexarate to ?-ketoglutaric semialdehyde. At KDG dehydratase was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belonged to the monoclinic space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 169.1, b = 117.8, c = 74.3?Å, ? = 112.4° and an asymmetric unit of four monomers. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.9?Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. The three-dimensional structure of At KDG dehydratase will provide valuable information on the function of the enzyme and will allow it to be engineered for biorefinery-based applications.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of maize aldose reductase.

Project description:Maize aldose reductase (AR) is a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily. In contrast to human AR, maize AR seems to prefer the conversion of sorbitol into glucose. The apoenzyme was crystallized in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 47.2, b = 54.5, c = 100.6 A and one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction data were collected and a final resolution limit of 2.0 A was obtained after data reduction. Phasing was carried out by an automated molecular-replacement procedure and structural refinement is currently in progress. The refined structure is expected to shed light on the functional/enzymatic mechanism and the unusual activities of maize AR.

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.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of Nsp15 from SARS coronavirus.

Project description:The non-structural protein Nsp15 from the aetiological agent of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) has recently been characterized as a uridine-specific endoribonuclease. This enzyme plays an essential role in viral replication and transcription since a mutation in the related H229E human coronavirus nsp15 gene can abolish viral RNA synthesis. SARS full-length Nsp15 (346 amino acids) has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag and has been purified to homogeneity. The protein was subsequently crystallized using PEG 8000 or 10 000 as precipitants. Small cubic crystals of the apoenzyme were obtained from 100 nl nanodrops. They belong to space group P4(1)32 or P4(3)32, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 166.8 angstroms. Diffraction data were collected to a maximum resolution of 2.7 angstroms.

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 diffraction analysis of vaccinia virus H1L phosphatase.

Project description:The cysteine-based protein phosphatase H1L was the first reported dual-specificity protein phosphatase. H1L is encapsidated within the vaccinia virus and is required for successful host infection and for the production of viable vaccinia progeny. H1L has therefore been proposed as a target candidate for antiviral compounds. Recombinant H1L has been expressed in a catalytically inactive form using an Escherichia coli host, leading to purification and crystallization by the microbatch method. The crystals diffract to 2.1 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. These crystals belong to space group P422, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 98.31, c = 169.15 A, and are likely to contain four molecules in the asymmetric unit. A sulfur SAD data set was collected to 2.8 A resolution on beamline BM14 at the ESRF to facilitate structure determination. Attempts to derivatize these crystals with xenon gas changed the space group to I422, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 63.28, c = 169.68 A and a single molecule in the asymmetric unit. The relationship between these two crystal forms is discussed.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of transaldolase from Thermoplasma acidophilum.

Project description:The metabolic enzyme transaldolase from Thermoplasma acidophilum was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli and could be crystallized in two polymorphic forms. Crystals were grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using PEG 6000 as precipitant. Native data sets for crystal forms 1 and 2 were collected in-house to resolutions of 3.0 and 2.7 Å, respectively. Crystal form 1 belonged to the orthorhombic space group C222(1) with five monomers per asymmetric unit and crystal form 2 belonged to the monoclinic space group P2(1) with ten monomers per asymmetric unit.
