Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a chitinase from Clonostachys rosea.

ABSTRACT: CrChi1 is a chitinase from the nematophagous fungus Clonostachys rosea that plays a role in the infection of nematodes. In order to resolve the crystal structure of CrChi1 and to gain a better understanding of its biological functions, recombinant CrChi1 was crystallized at 291 K using PEG 3350 and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate as precipitant and a 1.8 A resolution X-ray data set was collected from a single flash-cooled crystal (100 K). The crystals belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 44.1, b = 71.7, c = 59.1 A, alpha = gamma = 90, beta = 91.3 degrees. Assuming the presence of one molecule per asymmetric unit, the Matthews coefficient and solvent content were calculated to be 2.45 A(3) Da(-1) and 40%, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first structure determination study of a chitinase from a nematophagous fungus.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of chitinase A from Vibrio carchariae.

Project description:Chitinase A of Vibrio carchariae was expressed in Escherichia coli M15 host cells as a 575-amino-acid fragment with full enzymatic activity using the pQE60 expression vector. The yield of the highly purified recombinant protein was approximately 70 mg per litre of bacterial culture. The molecular mass of the expressed protein was determined by HPLC/ESI-MS to be 63 770, including the hexahistidine tag. Crystals of recombinant chitinase A were grown to a suitable size for X-ray structure analysis in a precipitant containing 10%(v/v) PEG 400, 0.1 M sodium acetate pH 4.6 and 0.125 M CaCl2. The crystals belonged to the tetragonal space group P422, with two molecules per asymmetric unit and unit-cell parameters a = b = 127.64, c = 171.42 A. A complete diffraction data set was collected to 2.14 A resolution using a Rigaku/MSC R-AXIS IV++ detector system mounted on an RU-H3R rotating-anode X-ray generator.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of manganese lipoxygenase.

Project description:Lipoxygenases constitute a family of nonhaem metal enzymes with catalytic iron or, occasionally, catalytic manganese. Lipoxygenases oxidize polyunsaturated fatty acids with position specificity and stereospecificity to hydroperoxides, which contribute to inflammation and the development of cancer. Little is known about the structural differences between lipoxygenases with Fe or Mn and the metal-selection mechanism. A Pichia pastoris expression system was used for the production of the manganese lipoxygenase of the take-all fungus of wheat, Gaeumannomyces graminis. The active enzyme was treated with α-mannosidase, purified to apparent homogeneity and subjected to crystal screening and X-ray diffraction. The crystals diffracted to 2.6 Å resolution and belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 226.6, b = 50.6, c = 177.92 Å, β = 91.70°.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a C2 protein from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:An uncharacterized protein from Arabidopsis thaliana consisting of a single C2 domain (At3g17980) was cloned into the pETM11 vector and expressed in Escherichia coli, allowing purification to homogeneity in a single chromatographic step. Good-quality diffracting crystals were obtained using vapour-diffusion techniques. The crystals diffracted to 2.2 Å resolution and belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 35.3, b = 88.9, c = 110.6 Å. A promising molecular-replacement solution has been found using the structure of the C2 domain of Munc13-C2b (PDB entry 3kwt) as the search model.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human cystathionine ?-synthase.

Project description:Human cystathionine ?-synthase (CBS) is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent hemeprotein, whose catalytic activity is regulated by S-adenosylmethionine. CBS catalyzes the ?-replacement reaction of homocysteine (Hcy) with serine to yield cystathionine. CBS is a key regulator of plasma levels of the thrombogenic Hcy and deficiency in CBS is the single most common cause of homocystinuria, an inherited metabolic disorder of sulfur amino acids. The properties of CBS enzymes, such as domain organization, oligomerization degree or regulatory mechanisms, are not conserved across the eukaryotes. The current body of knowledge is insufficient to understand these differences and their impact on CBS function and physiology. To overcome this deficiency, we have addressed the crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a protein construct (hCBS516-525) that contains the full-length CBS from Homo sapiens (hCBS) and just lacks amino-acid residues 516-525, which are located in a disordered loop. The human enzyme yielded crystals belonging to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a=124.98, b=136.33, c=169.83?Å and diffracting X-rays to a resolution of 3.0?Å. The crystal structure appears to contain two molecules in the asymmetric unit which presumably correspond to a dimeric form of the enzyme.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of Gibberella zeae extracellular lipase.

Project description:Fusarium head blight, one of the most destructive crop diseases, is mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum (known in its sexual stage as Gibberella zeae). F. graminearum secretes various extracellular enzymes that have been hypothesized to be involved in host infection. One of the extracellular enzymes secreted by this organism is the G. zeae extracellular lipase (GZEL), which is encoded by the FGL1 gene. In order to solve the crystal structure of GZEL and to gain a better understanding of the biological functions of the protein and of possible inhibitory mechanisms of lipase inhibitors, recombinant GZEL was crystallized at 291 K using PEG 3350 as a precipitant. A data set was collected to 2.8 A resolution from a single flash-cooled crystal (100 K). The crystal belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 78.4, b = 91.0, c = 195.8 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees . The presence of four molecules was assumed per asymmetric unit, which gave a Matthews coefficient of 2.6 A(3) Da(-1).

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human Atg4B-LC3 complex.

Project description:The reversible modification of Atg8 with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is crucial for autophagy, the bulk degradation process of cytoplasmic components by the vacuolar/lysosomal system. Atg4 is a cysteine protease that is responsible for the processing and deconjugation of Atg8. Human Atg4B (HsAtg4B; a mammalian orthologue of yeast Atg4) and LC3 (a mammalian orthologue of yeast Atg8) were expressed and purified and two complexes, one consisting of HsAtg4B(1-354) and LC3(1-120) (complex I; the product complex) and the other consisting of HsAtg4B(1-354) and LC3(1-124) (complex II; the substrate complex), were crystallized using polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant. In both complexes His280 of HsAtg4B was mutated to alanine. The crystals belong to the same space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 47.5, b = 91.8, c = 102.6 A for complex I and a = 46.9, b = 90.9, c = 102.5 A for complex II. Diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 1.9 A from both crystals.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the Tob-hCaf1 complex.

Project description:The Tob/BTG family is a group of antiproliferative proteins that contain two highly homologous regions named Box A and Box B. These proteins all associate with CCR4-associated factor 1 (Caf1), which belongs to the ribonuclease D family of deadenylases. The antiproliferative region of human Tob (residues 1-138) and intact hCaf1 were co-expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and successfully cocrystallized. The crystal belongs to the tetragonal space group I422, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 150.9, c = 113.9 A, and is estimated to contain one heterodimer per asymmetric unit. The crystal diffracted to around 2.6 A resolution.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of recombinant human galectin-1.

Project description:Galectin-1 is considered to be a regulator protein as it is ubiquitously expressed throughout the adult body and is responsible for a broad range of cellular regulatory functions. Interest in galectin-1 from a drug-design perspective is founded on evidence of its overexpression by many cancers and its immunomodulatory properties. The development of galectin-1-specific inhibitors is a rational approach to the fight against cancer because although galectin-1 induces a plethora of effects, null mice appear normal. X-ray crystallographic structure determination will aid the structure-based design of galectin-1 inhibitors. Here, the crystallization and preliminary diffraction analysis of human galectin-1 crystals generated under six different conditions is reported. X-ray diffraction data enabled the assignment of unit-cell parameters for crystals grown under two conditions, one belongs to a tetragonal crystal system and the other was determined as monoclinic P2(1), representing two new crystal forms of human galectin-1.
