Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the probable tRNA-modification GTPase (TrmE) from Staphylococcus aureus.

ABSTRACT: Probable tRNA-modification GTPase (TrmE) is a guanine nucleotide-binding protein that is conserved between bacteria and humans. GTPase hydrolyzes GTP and plays a pivotal role in signalling pathways. In this study, TrmE from Staphylococcus aureus was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme was found to crystallize at 295 K when ammonium sulfate was used as a precipitant. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.9 A resolution from the crystallized enzyme using synchrotron radiation. The crystal was found to belong to the cubic space group I23, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 229.47 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees . The crystal is likely to contain four monomers in the asymmetric unit, with a corresponding V(M) of 2.4 A(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 50%.

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MnmE, a GTPase involved in tRNA modification.

Project description:MnmE, an evolutionarily conserved GTPase, is involved in modification of the uridine base (U34) at the wobble position of certain tRNAs. Previous crystal structures of MnmE suggest that it is a dimer with considerable conformational flexibility. To facilitate structural comparisons among MnmE proteins, structural analysis of MnmE from Pseudomonas aeruginosa encoded by the PA5567 gene was initiated. It was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized at 297 K using a reservoir solution consisting of 100 mM sodium ADA pH 6.5, 12%(w/v) polyethylene glycol 4000, 100 mM lithium sulfate, 2%(v/v) 2-propanol and 2.5 mM dithiothreitol. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.69 A resolution. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a=96.74, b=204.66, c=120.90 A. Two monomers were present in the asymmetric unit, resulting in a crystal volume per protein mass (VM) of 2.99 A3 Da(-1) and a solvent content of 58.8%.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of bacterial tRNA(Sec) in complex with seryl-tRNA synthetase.

Project description:Selenocysteine (Sec) is translationally incorporated into proteins in response to the UGA codon. The tRNA specific to Sec (tRNA(Sec)) is first ligated with serine by seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS). To elucidate the tertiary structure of bacterial tRNA(Sec) and its specific interaction with SerRS, the bacterial tRNA(Sec) from Aquifex aeolicus was crystallized as the heterologous complex with the archaeal SerRS from Methanopyrus kandleri. Although X-ray diffraction by crystals of tRNA(Sec) in complex with wild-type SerRS was rather poor (to 5.7 Å resolution), the resolution was improved by introducing point mutations targeting the crystal-packing interface. Heavy-atom labelling also contributed to resolution improvement. A 3.2 Å resolution diffraction data set for phase determination was obtained from a K(2)Pt(CN)(4)-soaked crystal.

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.

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.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction crystallographic study of tRNA m(1)A58 methyltransferase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TRM6 and TRM61 compose a tRNA methyltransferase which catalyzes the methylation of the N1 of adenine at position 58 in tRNAs, especially initiator methionine tRNA. TRM61 is the subunit that binds S-adenosyl-L-methionine and both subunits contribute to target tRNA binding. In order to elucidate the catalytic mechanism of TRM6-TRM61 and the mode of interaction between the two subunits, expression, purification, crystallization and X-ray diffraction analysis of the TRM6-TRM61 complex were performed in this study. The crystals diffracted to 2.80 Å resolution and belonged to the trigonal space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 139.14, c = 101.62 Å.
