Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of a bacterial GABA receptor with a Venus flytrap fold.

ABSTRACT: In response to infection by the pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens, plants synthesize several stress amino acids, including gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which modulates the expression of bacterial virulence factors. GABA penetrates into the bacterial cytoplasm via an ABC transporter that is associated with the periplasmic receptor Atu2422. Mature receptor Atu2422 (without its signal peptide) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. A complete data set was collected to 1.35 A resolution at 100 K. The crystals belonged to the monoclinic space group C2 and contained one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Molecular replacement was performed and the initial electron-density maps revealed a closed form of this Venus flytrap (VFT) receptor, suggesting the presence of an endogenous E. coli ligand.

Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of human ?1-microglobulin.

Project description:?(1)-Microglobulin (?(1)m) is one of the phylogenetically most widespread lipocalins and is distributed in various organs and tissues, including liver, heart, eye, kidney, brain, lung, pancreas and skeletal muscle. ?(1)m has been found to exert multifarious functions, including interacting with IgA, albumin and prothrombin, binding strongly to haem and exhibiting reductase activity. Nevertheless, little structural information is available regarding these functions of ?(1)m. Since determination of three-dimensional structure is a powerful means of functional characterization, X-ray crystallography was used to accomplish this task. Here, the expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human ?(1)m are reported. The crystal belonged to space group P4(3), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 36.45, c = 112.68 Å, and diffracted to a resolution of 2.0 Å. The crystals are most likely to contain one molecule in the asymmetric unit, with a V(M) value of 1.63 Å(3) Da(-1).

Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of HMO2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The high-mobility group protein (HMO2) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a component of the chromatin-remodelling complex INO80, which is involved in double-strand break (DSB) repair. HMO2 can also bind DNA to protect it from exonucleolytic cleavage. Nevertheless, little structural information is available regarding these functions of HMO2. Since determination of three-dimensional structure is a powerful means to facilitate functional characterization, X-ray crystallography has been used to accomplish this task. Here, the expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of HMO2 from S. cerevisiae are reported. The crystal belonged to space group P222, with unit-cell parameters a = 39.35, b = 75.69, c = 108.03?Å, and diffracted to a resolution of 3.0?Å. The crystals are most likely to contain one molecule in the asymmetric unit, with a VM value of 3.19?Å(3)?Da(-1).

GPX3 from Arabidopsis thaliana: cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis.

Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3) gene encodes a glutathione peroxidase with roles in H2O2 homeostasis and signalling. The GPX3 gene sequence was cloned into pGEX-6P1 and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The GPX3 protein was purified to homogeneity in two chromatographic steps. Various lengths of the GPX3 sequence were used to obtain proteins that yielded crystals using vapour-diffusion techniques, but only GPX3ΔN36 (lacking 36 amino acids from the N-terminus) showed a good diffraction pattern. Its crystals diffracted to 2.8 Å resolution and belonged to space group P65, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 98.241, c = 42.057 Å.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of recombinant human fumarase.

Project description:Human fumarase (HsFH) is a well-known citric acid cycle enzyme and is therefore a key component in energy metabolism. Genetic studies on human patients have shown that polymorphisms in the fumarase gene are responsible for diseases such as hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer. As a first step in unravelling the molecular basis of the mechanism of fumarase deficiency in genetic disorders, the HsFH gene was cloned in pET-28a, heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, purified by nickel-affinity chromatography and crystallized using the vapour-diffusion technique. X-ray diffraction experiments were performed at a synchrotron source and the structure was solved at 2.1?Å resolution by molecular replacement.

Project description:Grx5 from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a monothiol glutaredoxin that is involved in iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis. Here, yeast Grx5 was cloned and overproduced in Escherichia coli. The purified protein was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Diffraction data for Grx5 were collected to 1.67 A resolution. The crystal of Grx5 belonged to space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 85.12, c = 48.95 A, alpha = beta = 90.00, gamma = 120.00 degrees .

Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of MCAT from Staphylococcus aureus.

Project description:Malonyl-CoA:acyl-carrier protein transacylase (MCAT), encoded by the fabd gene, is a key enzyme in type II fatty-acid biosynthesis. It is responsible for transferring the malonyl group from malonyl-CoA to the holo acyl-carrier protein (ACP). Since the type II system differs from the type I system that mammals use, it has received enormous attention as a possible antibiotic target. In particular, only a single isoform of MCAT has been reported and a continuous coupled enzyme assay has been developed. MCAT from Staphylococcus aureus was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and the protein was purified and crystallized. Diffraction data were collected to 1.2 A resolution. The crystals belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 41.608, b = 86.717, c = 43.163 A, alpha = gamma = 90, beta = 106.330 degrees . The asymmetric unit contains one SaMCAT molecule.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of Mycoplasma genitalium protein MG289.

Project description:Mycoplasma genitalium is a human pathogen that is associated with nongonococcal urethritis in men and cervicitis in women. The cloning, expression, purification and crystallization of the protein MG289 from M. genitalium strain G37 are reported here. Crystals of MG289 diffracted X-rays to 2.8 A resolution.

Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of a chimeric NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase.

Project description:NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) is the favoured redox partner of microsomal cytochromes P450. This protein is composed of two flavin-containing domains (FMN and FAD) connected by a structured linker. An active CPR chimera consisting of the yeast FMN and human FAD domains has been produced, purified and crystallized. The crystals belonged to the monoclinic space group C2 and contained one molecule per asymmetric unit. Molecular replacement was performed using the published rat and yeast structures as search models. The initial electron-density maps revealed that the chimeric enzyme had crystallized in a conformation that differed from those of previously solved structures.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of Thermus aquaticus succinyl-CoA synthetase.

Project description:Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) is an enzyme of the citric acid cycle and is thus found in most species. To date, there are no structures available of SCS from a thermophilic organism. To investigate how the enzyme adapts to higher temperatures, SCS from Thermus aquaticus was cloned, overexpressed, purified and crystallized. Attempts to crystallize the enzyme were thwarted by proteolysis of the beta-subunit and preferential crystallization of the truncated form. Crystals of full-length SCS were grown after the purification protocol was modified to include frequent additions of protease inhibitors. The resulting crystals, which diffract to 2.35 A resolution, are of the protein in complex with Mn2+-GDP.
