Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human seminal plasma protein PSP94.

ABSTRACT: The human seminal plasma protein PSP94 is a small protein of 94 residues that contains ten cysteines. Since its discovery about 25 years ago, several potential biological functions have been reported for this protein. Many PSP94 homologues have also been identified since then from various species, but no crystal structure has been determined to date. PSP94 has been purified from human seminal plasma and crystallized. These crystals diffracted to approximately 2.3 A resolution and belonged to space group P4(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 107.9, b = 107.9, c = 92.1 A. There are four molecules in the asymmetric unit. Structure solution by the heavy-atom method is currently in progress.

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.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of Gos1p, a yeast SNARE protein.

Project description:The Gos1 protein (Golgi SNAP receptor complex member 1) is involved in the SNARE complex, which is the core machinery that drives membrane fusion between cargo-carrying vesicles and their target membranes in the secretory and endocytic pathways in yeast. Truncated versions of the Gos1 protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were cloned, expressed, purified and crystallized. The crystal belonged to space group P2?2?2?, with unit-cell parameters a=39.67, b=43.58, c=81.94?Å, ?=?=?=90°. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected at 100?K to 1.63?Å resolution. Matthews coefficient (VM) calculations suggest that one molecule is present in the asymmetric unit, corresponding to a solvent content of ?55%.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of rat protein tyrosine phosphatase eta.

Project description:The rat protein tyrosine phosphatase eta (rPTPeta) is a cysteine-dependent phosphatase which hydrolyzes phosphoester bonds in proteins and other molecules. rPTPeta and its human homologue DEP-1 are involved in neoplastic transformations. Thus, expression of the protein is reduced in all oncogene-transformed thyroid cell lines and is absent in highly malignant thyroid cells. Moreover, consistent with the suggested tumour suppression role of PTPeta, inhibition of the tumorigenic process occurs after its exogenous reconstitution, suggesting that PTPeta might be important for gene therapy of cancers. In this study, the catalytic domain of rPTPeta was produced in Escherichia coli in soluble form and purified to homogeneity. Crystals were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Diffraction data were collected to 1.87 A resolution. The crystal belongs to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 46.46, b = 63.07, c = 111.64 A, and contains one molecule per asymmetric unit.

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.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the human XRCC4-XLF complex.

Project description:XRCC4 and XLF are key proteins in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks through nonhomologous end-joining. Together, they form a complex that stimulates the ligation of double-strand breaks. Owing to the suggested filamentous nature of this complex, structural studies via X-ray crystallography have proven difficult. Multiple truncations of the XLF and XRCC4 proteins were cocrystallized, but yielded low-resolution diffraction (~20 Å). However, a combination of microseeding, dehydration and heavy metals improved the diffraction of XRCC4(?157)-XLF(?224) crystals to 3.9 Å resolution. Although molecular replacement alone was unable to produce a solution, when combined with the anomalous signal from tantalum bromide clusters initial phasing was successfully obtained.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2.

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP2) is a critical enzyme involved in the final processing of MHC class I antigens. Peptide trimming by ERAP2 and the other members of the oxytocinase subfamily is essential to customize longer precursor peptides in order to fit them to the correct length required for presentation on major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. While recent structures of ERAP1 have provided an understanding of the `molecular-ruler' mechanism of substrate selection, little is known about the complementary activities of its homologue ERAP2 despite their sharing 49% sequence identity. In order to gain insights into the structure-function relationship of the oxytocinase subfamily, and in particular ERAP2, the luminal region of human ERAP2 has been crystallized in the presence of the inhibitor bestatin. The crystals belonged to an orthorhombic space group and diffracted anisotropically to 3.3 Å resolution in the best direction on an in-house X-ray source. A molecular-replacement solution suggested that the enzyme has adopted the closed state as has been observed in other inhibitor-bound aminopeptidase structures.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human cytosolic seryl-tRNA synthetase.

Project description:Human cytosolic seryl-tRNA synthetase (hsSerRS) is responsible for the covalent attachment of serine to its cognate tRNA(Ser). Significant differences between the amino-acid sequences of eukaryotic, prokaryotic and archaebacterial SerRSs indicate that the domain composition of hsSerRS differs from that of its eubacterial and archaebacterial analogues. As a consequence of an N-terminal insertion and a C-terminal extra-sequence, the binding mode of tRNA(Ser) to hsSerRS is expected to differ from that in prokaryotes. Recombinant hsSerRS protein was purified to homogeneity and crystallized. Diffraction data were collected to 3.13?Å resolution. The structure of hsSerRS has been solved by the molecular-replacement method.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of Val57 mutants of the amyloidogenic protein human cystatin C.

Project description:Human cystatin C (hCC) is a low-molecular-mass protein (120 amino-acid residues, 13 343 Da) found in all nucleated cells. Its main physiological role is regulation of the activity of cysteine proteases. Biologically active hCC is a monomeric protein, but all crystallization efforts have resulted in a dimeric domain-swapped structure. Recently, two monomeric structures were reported for cystatin C variants. In one of them stabilization was achieved by abolishing the possibility of domain swapping by the introduction of an additional disulfide bridge connecting the two protein domains (Cys47-Cys69). In the second structure, reported by this group, the monomeric hCC fold was preserved by stabilization of the conformationally constrained loop (L1) by a single-amino-acid substitution (V57N). To further assess the influence of changes in the sequence and properties of loop L1 on the dimerization propensity of cystatin C, two additional hCC mutants were obtained: one with a residue favoured in β-turns (V57D) and another with proline (V57P), a residue that is known to be a structural element that can rigidify but also broaden turns. Here, the expression, purification and crystallization of V57D and V57P variants of recombinant human cystatin C are described. Crystals were grown by the vapour-diffusion method. Several diffraction data sets were collected using a synchrotron source at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, USA.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of rat autotaxin.

Project description:Rat autotaxin has been cloned, expressed, purified to homogeneity and crystallized via hanging-drop vapour diffusion using PEG 3350 as precipitant and ammonium iodide and sodium thiocyanate as salts. The crystals diffracted to a maximum resolution of 2.05 A and belonged to space group P1, with unit-cell parameters a=53.8, b=63.3, c=70.5 A, alpha=98.8, beta=106.2, gamma=99.8 degrees. Preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis indicated the presence of one molecule per asymmetric unit, with a solvent content of 47%.
