Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic study of GenX, a lysyl-tRNA synthetase paralogue from Escherichia coli, in complex with translation elongation factor P.


ABSTRACT: GenX, a lysyl-tRNA synthetase paralogue from Escherichia coli, was overexpressed in E. coli, purified by three chromatographic steps and cocrystallized with a lysyl adenylate analogue (LysAMS) by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using PEG 4000 as a precipitant. The GenX-LysAMS crystals belonged to the triclinic space group P1, with unit-cell parameters a=54.80, b=69.15, c=94.08 A, alpha=95.47, beta=106.51, gamma=90.46 degrees, and diffracted to 1.9 A resolution. Furthermore, GenX was cocrystallized with translation elongation factor P (EF-P), which is believed to be a putative substrate of GenX, and LysAMS using PEG 4000 and ammonium sulfate as precipitants. The GenX-EF-P-LysAMS crystals belonged to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=105.93, b=102.96, c=119.94 A, beta=99.4 degrees, and diffracted to 2.5 A resolution. Structure determination of the E. coli GenX-LysAMS and GenX-EF-P-LysAMS complexes by molecular replacement was successful and structure refinements are now in progress.
