Purification and crystallization of the entire recombinant subunit E of the energy producer A(1)A(o) ATP synthase.

ABSTRACT: A(1)A(o) ATP synthases are the major energy producers in archaea. Subunit E of the stator domain of the ATP synthase from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 was cloned, expressed and purified to homogeneity. The monodispersed protein was crystallized by vapour diffusion. A complete diffraction data set was collected to 3.3 A resolution with 99.4% completeness using a synchrotron-radiation source. The crystals belonged to space group I4, with unit-cell parameters a = 112.51, b = 112.51, c = 96.25 A, and contained three molecules in the asymmetric unit.

Recombinant production and purification of the subunit c of chloroplast ATP synthase.

Project description:In chloroplasts, the multimeric ATP synthase produces the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that is required for photosynthetic metabolism. The synthesis of ATP is mechanically coupled to the rotation of a ring of c-subunits, which is imbedded in the thylakoid membrane. The rotation of this c-subunit ring is driven by the translocation of protons across this membrane, along an electrochemical gradient. The ratio of protons translocated to ATP synthesized varies according to the number of c-subunits (n) per oligomeric ring (c(n)) in the enzyme, which is organism dependent. Although this ratio is inherently related to the metabolism of the organism, the exact cause of the c(n) variability is not well understood. In order to investigate the factors that may contribute to this stoichiometric variation, we have developed a recombinant bacterial expression and column purification system for the c₁ monomeric subunit. Using a plasmid with a codon optimized gene insert, the hydrophobic c₁ subunit is first expressed as a soluble MBP-c₁ fusion protein, then cleaved from the maltose binding protein (MBP) and purified on a reversed phase column. This novel approach enables the soluble expression of an eukaryotic membrane protein in BL21 derivative Escherichia coli cells. We have obtained significant quantities of highly purified c₁ subunit using these methods, and we have confirmed that the purified c₁ has the correct alpha-helical secondary structure. This work will enable further investigation into the undefined factors that affect the c-ring stoichiometry and structure. The c-subunit chosen for this work is that of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplast ATP synthase.

Improved crystallization of Escherichia coli ATP synthase catalytic complex (F1) by introducing a phosphomimetic mutation in subunit ε.

Project description:The bacterial ATP synthase (F(O)F(1)) of Escherichia coli has been the prominent model system for genetics, biochemical and more recently single-molecule studies on F-type ATP synthases. With 22 total polypeptide chains (total mass of ∼529 kDa), E. coli F(O)F(1) represents nature's smallest rotary motor, composed of a membrane-embedded proton transporter (F(O)) and a peripheral catalytic complex (F(1)). The ATPase activity of isolated F(1) is fully expressed by the α(3)β(3)γ 'core', whereas single δ and ε subunits are required for structural and functional coupling of E. coli F(1) to F(O). In contrast to mitochondrial F(1)-ATPases that have been determined to atomic resolution, the bacterial homologues have proven very difficult to crystallize. In this paper, we describe a biochemical strategy that led us to improve the crystallogenesis of the E. coli F(1)-ATPase catalytic core. Destabilizing the compact conformation of ε's C-terminal domain with a phosphomimetic mutation (εS65D) dramatically increased crystallization success and reproducibility, yielding crystals of E. coli F(1) that diffract to ∼3.15 Å resolution.

Chitoporin from Serratia marcescens: recombinant expression, purification and crystallization.

Project description:Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic pathogen that commonly causes hospital-acquired infections and can utilize chitin-enriched nutrients as an alternative energy source. This study reports the identification of a chitoporin (ChiP), termed SmChiP, from the outer membrane of S. marcescens. Sequence alignment with genetically characterized ChiPs suggests that SmChiP is more closely related to the monomeric EcChiP from Escherichia coli than to the trimeric VhChiP from Vibrio campbellii. A single crystal of SmChiP grown under the condition 22%(w/v) PEG 8000, 0.1 M calcium acetate, 0.1 M MES pH 6.0 diffracted X-ray synchrotron radiation to 1.85 Å resolution. SmChiP co-crystallized with chitohexaose under the condition 19%(w/v) PEG 1500, 2 M ammonium phosphate monobasic, 0.1 M HEPES pH 7.0 diffracted X-rays to 2.70 Å resolution. Preliminary crystallographic analysis shows that both SmChiP crystal forms contain one molecule per asymmetric unit and that they belong to the tetragonal space groups P42212 and P41212, respectively. The SmChiP crystal has unit-cell parameters a = 82.97, b = 82.97, c = 189.53 Å, α = β = γ = 90°, while the crystal of SmChiP in complex with chitohexaose has unit-cell parameters a = 73.24, b = 73.24, c = 213.46 Å, α = β = γ = 90°. Initial assessment of the complex structure clearly revealed electron density for the sugar ligand. Structure determination of SmChiP in the absence and presence of chitohexaose should reveal the molecular basis of chitin utilization by S. marcescens.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of the ATP-binding subunit of an ABC transporter from Geobacillus kaustophilus.

Project description:ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, also known as traffic ATPases, form a large family of integral membrane proteins responsible for the translocation of a variety of chemically diverse substrates across the lipid bilayers of cellular membranes of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes by the hydrolysis of ATP. The ATP-binding subunit of an ABC transporter from Geobacillus kaustophilus, a homodimeric enzyme, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Crystals were obtained using the microbatch-under-oil method at 291 K. X-ray diffraction data to 1.6 Å resolution were collected on SPring-8 beamline BL26B1. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a=54.94, b=78.63, c=112.96 Å. Assuming the presence of a dimer in the asymmetric unit gave a crystal volume per protein weight (VM) of 2.32 Å3 Da(-1) and a solvent content of 47%; this was consistent with the results of a dynamic light-scattering experiment, which showed a dimeric state of the protein in solution. Molecular-replacement trials using the crystal structure of HisP from the Salmonella typhimurium ATP-binding subunit of an ABC transporter as a search model did not provide a satisfactory solution, indicating that the two ATP-binding subunits of ABC transporters have substantially different structures.

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.

Entrapment of water by subunit c of ATP synthase.

Project description:We consider an ancient protein, and water as a smooth surface, and show that the interaction of the two allows the protein to change its hydrogen bonding to encapsulate the water. This property could have made a three-dimensional microenvironment, 3-4 Gyr ago, for the evolution of subsequent complex water-based chemistry. Proteolipid, subunit c of ATP synthase, when presented with a water surface, changes its hydrogen bonding from an alpha-helix to beta-sheet-like configuration and moves away from its previous association with lipid to interact with water surface molecules. Protein sheets with an intra-sheet backbone spacing of 3.7A and inter-sheet spacing of 6.0 A hydrogen bond into long ribbons or continuous surfaces to completely encapsulate a water droplet. The resulting morphology is a spherical vesicle or a hexagonal crystal of water ice, encased by a skin of subunit c. Electron diffraction shows the crystals to be highly ordered and compressed and the protein skin to resemble beta-sheets. The protein skin can retain the entrapped water over a temperature rise from 123 to 223 K at 1 x 10(-4) Pa, whereas free water starts to sublime significantly at 153 K.

Cloning, expression, purification and crystallization of dihydrodipicolinate synthase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Project description:Dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS) catalyzes the first committed step of the lysine-biosynthesis pathway in bacteria, plants and some fungi. This study describes the cloning, expression, purification and crystallization of DHDPS (NP_354047.1) from the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens (AgT-DHDPS). Enzyme-kinetics studies demonstrate that AgT-DHDPS possesses DHDPS activity in vitro. Crystals of AgT-DHDPS were grown in the unliganded form and in forms with substrate bound and with substrate plus allosteric inhibitor (lysine) bound. X-ray diffraction data sets were subsequently collected to a maximum resolution of 1.40 Å. Determination of the structure with and without substrate and inhibitor will offer insight into the design of novel pesticide agents.

Ordered-domain unfolding of thermophilic isolated β subunit ATP synthase.

Project description:The flexibility of the ATP synthase's β subunit promotes its role in the ATP synthase rotational mechanism, but its domains stability remains unknown. A reversible thermal unfolding of the isolated β subunit (Tβ) of the ATP synthase from Bacillus thermophilus PS3, tracked through circular dichroism and molecular dynamics, indicated that Tβ shape transits from an ellipsoid to a molten globule through an ordered unfolding of its domains, preserving the β-sheet residual structure at high temperature. We determined that part of the stability origin of Tβ is due to a transversal hydrophobic array that crosses the β-barrel formed at the N-terminal domain and the Rossman fold of the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD), while the helix bundle of the C-terminal domain is the less stable due to the lack of hydrophobic residues, and thus the more flexible to trigger the rotational mechanism of the ATP synthase.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosisfolylpolyglutamate synthase (MtbFPGS).

Project description:The gene encoding Mycobacterium tuberculosis FPGS (MtbFPGS; Rv2447c) has been cloned and the protein (51 kDa) expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified protein was crystallized either by the batch method in the presence of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and CoCl2 or by vapour diffusion in the presence of ADP, dihydrofolate and CaCl2. X-ray diffraction data to approximately 2.0 and 2.6 A resolution were collected at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) for crystals grown under the respective conditions. Both crystals belong to the cubic space group P2(1)3, with a unit-cell parameter of 112.6 and 111.8 A, respectively. Structure determination is proceeding.

Recombinant production, purification and crystallization of the Toxoplasma gondii coronin WD40 domain.

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most widely spread parasitic organisms in the world. Together with other apicomplexan parasites, it utilizes a special actin-myosin motor for its cellular movement, called gliding motility. This actin-based process is regulated by a small set of actin-binding proteins, which in Apicomplexa comprises only 10-15 proteins, compared with >150 in higher eukaryotes. Coronin is a highly conserved regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, but its functions, especially in parasites, have remained enigmatic. Coronins consist of an N-terminal actin-binding β-propeller WD40 domain, followed by a conserved region, and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain implicated in oligomerization. Here, the WD40 domain and the conserved region of coronin from T. gondii were produced recombinantly and crystallized. A single-wavelength diffraction data set was collected to a resolution of 1.65 Å. The crystal belonged to the orthorhombic space group C2221, with unit-cell parameters a = 55.13, b = 82.51, c = 156.98 Å.
