Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of Lmo0540 from Listeria monocytogenes.

ABSTRACT: Penicillin-binding proteins catalyze the biosynthesis of the peptidoglycan chains of the bacterial cell wall, which protects cells from osmotic pressure. Although Lmo0540 has been identified as a putative penicillin-binding protein that contributes to the virulence of Listeria monocytogenes, the biochemical role of Lmo0540 remains unclear. To provide insights into its biochemical function, Lmo0540 was overexpressed, purified and crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. Diffraction data were collected to 1.5?Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystal belonged to the C-centred monoclinic space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 82.5, b = 75.7, c = 75.9?Å, ? = ? = 90, ? = 121.8°. A full structural determination is under way in order to elucidate the structure-function relationship of this protein.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of PBP4 from Listeria monocytogenes.

Project description:Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which catalyze peptidoglycan synthesis, have been extensively studied as a well established target of antimicrobial agents, including ?-lactam derivatives. However, remarkable resistance to ?-lactams has developed among pathogenic bacteria since the clinical use of penicillin began. Recently, the glycosyltransferase (GT) domain of class A PBPs has been proposed as an attractive target for antibiotic development as moenomycin-bound GT-domain structures have been determined. In this study, a class A PBP4 from Listeria monocytogenes was overexpressed, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Diffraction data were collected to 2.1 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystal belonged to the primitive orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 84.6, b = 127.8, c = 54.9 Å. The structural information will contribute to the further development of moenomycin-derived antibiotics possessing broad-spectrum activity.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of PBPD2 from Listeria monocytogenes.

Project description:Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which mediate the peptidoglycan biosynthetic pathway in the bacterial cell wall, have been intensively investigated as a target for the design of antibiotics. In this study, PBPD2, a low-molecular-weight PBP encoded by lmo2812 from Listeria monocytogenes, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized at 295 K using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystal belonged to the primitive orthorhombic space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 37.7, b = 74.7, c = 75.1 Å, and diffracted to 1.55 Å resolution. There was one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The preliminary structure was determined by the molecular-replacement method.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of a PacL homologue from Listeria monocytogenes.

Project description:Ca(2+)-ATPases are members of a large family of membrane proteins that maintain the selective movement of cations across biological membranes. A putative Listeria monocytogenes Ca(2+)-ATPase (Lmo0818) was crystallized in an unknown functional state. The crystal belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and a complete data set was collected to 3.2 Å resolution. The molecular-replacement solution obtained revealed that Lmo0818 is likely to adopt an E2-like state mimicking the phosphorylated intermediate in the functional cycle of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) and a stacked bilayer `type I' packing in the crystal.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of Enpp6.

Project description:Enpp (ectonucleotide phosphodiesterase/pyrophosphatase) 6 is a membrane-bound glycoprotein that hydrolyzes choline-containing compounds such as lysophosphatidylcholine and glycerophosphorylcholine, and presumably participates in choline metabolism. The catalytic domain of mouse Enpp6 was expressed in HEK293T cells, purified using the TARGET tag/P20.1-Sepharose system and crystallized. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected to 1.8?Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space group P1, with unit-cell parameters a=63.7, b=68.8, c=69.7?Å, ?=60.6, ?=87.0, ?=68.1°. Assuming the presence of two protein molecules per asymmetric unit, the solvent content was estimated to be 49.5%.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human ?-galactosidase.

Project description:?-D-Galactosidase (?-Gal) is an exoglycosidase that cleaves ?-galactosides from glycoproteins, sphingolipids and keratan sulfate. This study reports the expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human lysosomal ?-Gal. The sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method was used to crystallize ?-Gal in complexes with its product galactose and with the inhibitor 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin. The resulting crystals were isomorphous and belonged to space group P2(1). The crystals of the ?-Gal-galactose and the ?-Gal-inhibitor complexes had unit-cell parameters a = 94.8, b = 116.1, c = 140.3 Å, ? = 92.2° and a = 94.8, b = 116.0, c = 140.3 Å, ? = 92.2°, respectively. Diffraction data were collected to 1.8 Å resolution for both crystals.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of squid heavy meromyosin.

Project description:All muscle-based movement is dependent upon carefully choreographed interactions between the two major muscle components, myosin and actin. Regulation of vertebrate smooth and molluscan muscle contraction is myosin based (both are in the myosin II class), and requires the double-headed form of myosin. Removal of Ca2+ from these muscles promotes a relatively compact conformation of the myosin dimer, which inhibits its interaction with actin. Although atomic structures of single myosin heads are available, the structure of any double-headed portion of myosin, including the ∼375 kDa heavy meromyosin (HMM), has only been visualized at low (∼20 Å) resolution by electron microscopy. Here, the growth of three-dimensional crystals of HMM with near-atomic resolution (up to ∼5 Å) and their X-ray diffraction are reported for the first time. These crystals were grown in off-state conditions, that is in the absence of Ca2+ and the presence of nucleotide analogs, using HMM from the funnel retractor muscle of squid. In addition to the crystallization conditions, the techniques used to isolate and purify this HMM are also described. Efforts at phasing and improving the resolution of the data in order to determine the structure are ongoing.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of TssL from Vibrio cholerae.

Project description:The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a macromolecular complex that is conserved in Gram-negative bacteria. The T6SS secretes effector proteins into recipient cells in a contact-dependent manner in order to accomplish cooperative and competitive interactions with the cells. Although the composition and mechanism of the T6SS have been intensively investigated across many Gram-negative bacteria, to date structural information on T6SS components from the important pathogen Vibrio cholerae has been rare. Here, the cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the cytoplasmic domain of TssL, an inner membrane protein of the T6SS, from V. cholerae are reported. Diffraction data were collected to 1.5 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystal belonged to the hexagonal space group P61, with unit-cell parameters a = 78.4, b = 78.4, c = 49.5 Å. The successful structural characterization of TssL from V. cholerae will contribute to understanding the role of the membrane-associated subunits of the T6SS in more detail.

Crystallization and X-ray crystallographic analysis of the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin listeriolysin O from Listeria monocytogenes.

Project description:The secreted pore-forming toxin listeriolysin O (LLO) from the intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a member of the family of cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDC) with broad properties in pathogenesis. Its role as a virulence factor is enigmatic: it disrupts membranes and acts as an inductor of both pro- and anti-inflammatory responses in infected cells. In addition, LLO is also a potent target for immunogenicity during infection. Natively secreted LLO from a recombinant L. innocua strain was crystallized in its water-soluble monomeric form. The crystals obtained belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 26.7, b = 85.1, c = 230.0 Å, and diffracted to beyond 2.2 Å resolution. The Matthews coefficient and the solvent content were estimated to be 2.4 Å(3) Da(-1) and 49.2%, respectively. The structure with one molecule in the asymmetric unit was solved using Phaser employing the structure of the previously characterized CDC toxin perfringolysin O as a search model.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of Zucchini from Drosophila melanogaster.

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) bind PIWI proteins and silence transposons to maintain the genomic integrity of germ cells. Zucchini (Zuc), a phospholipase D superfamily member, is conserved among animals and is implicated in piRNA biogenesis. However, the underlying mechanism by which Zuc participates in piRNA biogenesis remains elusive. Drosophila melanogaster Zuc (DmZuc) was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.75?Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=55.0, b=71.2, c=56.3?Å, ?=107.9°.
