Isolation and purification of Thermus thermophilus HpaB by a crystallization approach.

ABSTRACT: The oxygenase HpaB is a component of the 4-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-monooxygenase enzyme that is responsible for the hydroxylation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetate. It utilizes molecular oxygen and a reduced flavin, which is provided by HpaC, the second component of the enzyme. While isolating integral membrane respiratory complexes from Thermus thermophilus, microcrystals of HpaB were formed. Further purification of the enzyme was achieved by repetitive crystallization. Subsequently, well shaped single crystals of the native enzyme that diffract to 1.82 A resolution were grown in sitting drops. They belong to the orthorhombic space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 91.3, b = 99.8, c = 131.7 A.

Cloning, overexpression, purification and crystallization of malate dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus.

Project description:Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) has been used as a conjugate for enzyme immunoassay of a wide variety of compounds, such as drugs of abuse, drugs used in repetitive therapeutic application and hormones. In consideration of the various biotechnological applications of MDH, investigations of MDH from Thermus thermophilus were carried out to further understand the properties of this enzyme. The DNA fragment containing the open reading frame of mdh was amplified from the genomic DNA of T. thermophilus and cloned into the expression vector pET21b(+). The protein was expressed in a soluble form in Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3). Homogeneous protein was obtained using a three-step procedure consisting of thermal treatment, Ni(2+)-chelating chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography. The purified MDH was crystallized and the crystals diffracted to a resolution of 1.80?Å on the BL13C1 beamline of the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC), Taiwan. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 71.3, b = 86.1, c = 118.2?Å. The unit-cell volume of the crystal is compatible with the presence of two monomers in the asymmetric unit, with a corresponding Matthews coefficient VM of 2.52?Å(3)?Da(-1) and a solvent content of 51.2%. The crystal structure of MDH has been solved by molecular replacement and is currently under refinement.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the oxygenase component (HpaB) of 4-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-monooxygenase from Thermus thermophilus HB8.

Project description:The 4-hydroxyphenylacetate (4HPA) 3-monooxygenase enzyme catalyzes the hydroxylation of 4HPA to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate in the initial step of the degradation pathway of 4HPA. This enzyme consists of two components: an oxygenase (HpaB) and a reductase (HpaC). HpaB hydroxylates 4HPA using an oxygen molecule and a reduced flavin, which is supplied by HpaC. HpaB from Thermus thermophilus HB8 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized. Crystals of HpaB were grown in 0.4 M 1,6-hexanediol, 0.1 M sodium acetate pH 5.0 and 25% (v/v) glycerol and diffracted X-rays to a resolution of 1.60 A. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 91.8, b = 99.6, c = 131.1 A. The asymmetric unit volume provides space for only one subunit of the tetrameric HpaB molecule, giving a Matthews coefficient V(M) of 2.8 A3 Da(-1) and a solvent content of 55.1%. Platinum-derivatized crystals of HpaB were prepared by soaking native crystals in a solution containing 1 mM ammonium tetrachloroplatinate(II) for 1 d and diffracted X-rays to a resolution of 2.50 A. MAD data were successfully collected for structural determination using these crystals.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic study of molybdopterin synthase from Thermus thermophilus HB8.

Project description:Thermus thermophilus is a Gram-negative aerobic thermophilic eubacterium which can grow at temperatures ranging from 323 to 355 K. In addition to their importance in thermostability or adaptation strategies for survival at high temperatures, the thermostable enzymes in thermophilic organisms contribute to a wide range of biotechnological applications. The molybdenum cofactor in all three kingdoms consists of a tricyclic pyranopterin termed molybdopterin that bears the cis-dithiolene group responsible for molybdenum ligation. The crystals of molybdopterin synthase from T. thermophilus HB8 belong to the primitive monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 33.94, b = 103.32, c = 59.59 A, beta = 101.3 degrees.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic study of thymidylate kinase (TTHA1607) from Thermus thermophilus HB8.

Project description:Nucleotide biosynthesis plays a key role in cell survival and cell proliferation. Thymidylate kinase is an enzyme that catalyses the conversion of dTMP to dTDP using ATP-Mg(2+) as a phosphoryl-donor group. This enzyme is present at the junction of the de novo and salvage pathways; thus, any inhibitor designed against it will result in cell death. This highlights the importance of this enzyme as a drug target. Thymidylate kinase from the extremely thermophilic organism Thermus thermophilus HB8 has been expressed, purified and crystallized using the microbatch method. The crystals diffracted to a resolution of 1.83 Å and belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 39.50, b = 80.29, c = 122.55 Å. Preliminary studies revealed the presence of a dimer in the asymmetric unit with a Matthews coefficient (V(M)) of 2.18 Å(3) Da(-1).

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the hyperthermophilic nucleotidyltransferase TTHA1015 from Thermus thermophilus HB8.

Project description:The TTHA1015 gene from Thermus thermophilus HB8 encodes a hyperthermophilic nucleotidyltransferase. TTHA1015 has high homology to proteins belonging to two related families: the nucleotidyltransferase-domain superfamily and the DNA polymerase ?-like family. However, no crystal structures of these proteins have been reported. Determination of the crystal structure of TTHA1015 will help in elucidation of its function and will be useful for understanding the relationship between the structure and the function of these homologous proteins. In this study, TTHA1015 was expressed, purified and crystallized. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.70?Å resolution. The crystal belonged to the monoclinic space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a=65.5, b=34.7, c=42.4?Å, ?=119.1°. There was one molecule per asymmetric unit, giving a Matthews coefficient of 1.86?Å3?Da(-1) and an approximate solvent content of 34%.

Project description:Fuculose phosphate aldolase catalyzes the reversible cleavage of L-fuculose-1-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and L-lactaldehyde. The protein from Thermus thermophilus HB8 is a biological tetramer with a subunit molecular weight of 21 591 Da.

The crystals belong to space group P4, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 100.94, c = 45.87 A. The presence of a dimer of the enzyme in the asymmetric unit was estimated to give a Matthews coefficient (VM) of 2.7 A3 Da(-1) and a solvent content of 54.2%(v/v). Three-wavelength diffraction MAD data were collected to 2.3 A from zinc-containing crystals. Native diffraction data to 1.9 A resolution have been collected using synchrotron radiation at SPring-8.

The Rel stringent factor from Thermus thermophilus: crystallization and X-ray analysis.

Project description:The stringent response, controlled by (p)ppGpp, enables bacteria to trigger a strong phenotypic resetting that is crucial to cope with adverse environmental changes and is required for stress survival and virulence. In the bacterial cell, (p)ppGpp levels are regulated by the concerted opposing activities of RSH (RelA/SpoT homologue) enzymes that can transfer a pyrophosphate group of ATP to the 3' position of GDP (or GTP) or remove the 3' pyrophosphate moiety from (p)ppGpp. Bifunctional Rel enzymes are notoriously difficult to crystallize owing to poor stability and a propensity for aggregation, usually leading to a loss of biological activity after purification. Here, the production, biochemical analysis and crystallization of the bifunctional catalytic region of the Rel stringent factor from Thermus thermophilus (RelTtNTD) in the resting state and bound to nucleotides are described. RelTt and RelTtNTD are monomers in solution that are stabilized by the binding of Mn2+ and mellitic acid. RelTtNTD crystallizes in space group P4122, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 88.4, c = 182.7?Å, at 4°C and in space group P41212, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 105.7, c = 241.4?Å, at 20°C.
