Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human LR11 Vps10p domain.

ABSTRACT: Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) relative with 11 binding repeats (LR11; also known as sorLA) is genetically associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and is thought to be involved in neurodegenerative processes. LR11 contains a vacuolar protein-sorting 10 protein (Vps10p) domain. As this domain has been implicated in protein-protein interaction in other receptors, its structure and function are of great biological interest. Human LR11 Vps10p domain was expressed in mammalian cells and the purified protein was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Enzymatic deglycosylation of the sample was critical to obtaining diffraction-quality crystals. Deglycosylated LR11 Vps10p-domain crystals belonged to the hexagonal space group P6(1)22. A diffraction data set was collected to 2.4?Å resolution and a clear molecular-replacement solution was obtained.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a PHD domain of human JARID1B.

Project description:Histone lysine methylation can be removed by proteins containing JmjC domains in a sequence- and methylation state-specific manner. JARID1B, a protein containing PHD and JmjC domains, is a histone demethylase specific for H3K4me2 and H3K4me3 which requires Fe(II) and ?-ketoglutarate (?-KG) as cofactors to remove the methyl group. JARID1B has also been shown to play a critical role in the development of breast cancer. JARID1B contains JmjN, Arid and JmjC domains, a C5HC2 zinc-finger domain and three PHD domains. The first PHD domain (PHD1(JARID1B); residues 306-360) is located at the N-terminus and is important for both histone demethylase activity and histone-tail recognition of JARID1B. Here, the expression, purification and crystallization of PHD1(JARID1B) is reported. A PHD1(JARID1B) crystal was grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method in reservoir solution consisting of 0.1?M HEPES pH 7.0, 2.2?M ammonium sulfate at 277?K. A zinc SAD data set was collected from a PHD1(JARID1B) crystal. The diffraction pattern of the PHD1(JARID1B) crystal extended to 1.65?Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystal belonged to space group P4(3), with unit-cell parameters a = 51.7, b = 51.7, c = 36.2?Å.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the fourth FAS1 domain of human BigH3.

Project description:The protein BigH3 is a cell-adhesion molecule induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). It consists of four homologous repeat domains known as FAS1 domains; mutations in these domains have been linked to corneal dystrophy. The fourth FAS1 domain was expressed in Escherichia coli B834 (DE3) (a methionine auxotroph) and purified by DEAE anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. The FAS1 domain was crystallized using the vapour-diffusion method. A SAD diffraction data set was collected to a resolution of 2.5 A at 100 K. The crystal belonged to space group P6(1) or P6(5) and had two molecules per asymmetric unit, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 62.93, c = 143.27 A, alpha = beta = 90.0, gamma = 120.0 degrees.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the human kindlin-2 PH domain.

Project description:Kindlins contribute to the correct assembly of integrin-containing focal adhesion sites through their direct interaction with the cytoplasmic tail of ?-integrin. The FERM domain of kindlins has a unique subdomain organization: the F2 subdomain harbours a centrally located pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that is thought to be involved in the membrane targeting of kindlins. FERM domains are found in a number of cytoskeletal proteins that mediate the interaction between integrins and cytosolic proteins. In the present study, the PH domain of human kindlin-2 was subcloned, solubly expressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. A diffraction data set was collected at 2.8?Å resolution using synchrotron radiation on BL-4A at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (Pohang, Republic of Korea).

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the human CKIP-1 pleckstrin homology domain.

Project description:The casein kinase 2 interacting protein-1 (CKIP-1) is involved in many cellular functions, including apoptosis, signalling pathways, cell growth, cytoskeleton and bone formation. Its N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain is thought to play an important role in membrane localization and controls shuttling of CKIP-1 between the plasma membrane and nucleus. In this study, the human CKIP-1 PH domain was purified but problems were encountered with nucleic acid contamination. An S84D/S86D/S88D triple mutant designed to abolish nucleic acid binding was purified and successfully crystallized. Single crystals diffracted to 1.7?Å resolution and belonged to space group P4?2?2 with unit-cell parameters a=53.0, b=53.0, c=113.8?Å, ?=?=?=90.0°.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the PH-GRAM domain of human MTMR4.

Project description:Phosphoinositide lipid molecules play critical roles in intracellular signalling pathways and are regulated by phospholipases, lipid kinases and phosphatases. In particular, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate are related to endosomal trafficking events through the recruitment of effector proteins and are involved in the degradation step of autophagy. Myotubularin-related proteins (MTMRs) are a large family of phosphatases that catalyze the dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate at the D3 position, thereby regulating cellular phosphoinositide levels. In this study, the PH-GRAM domain of human MTMR4 was cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted to 3.20?Å resolution at a synchrotron beamline and belonged to either space group P61 or P65, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 109.10, c = 238.97?Å.

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.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human Atg4B-LC3 complex.

Project description:The reversible modification of Atg8 with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is crucial for autophagy, the bulk degradation process of cytoplasmic components by the vacuolar/lysosomal system. Atg4 is a cysteine protease that is responsible for the processing and deconjugation of Atg8. Human Atg4B (HsAtg4B; a mammalian orthologue of yeast Atg4) and LC3 (a mammalian orthologue of yeast Atg8) were expressed and purified and two complexes, one consisting of HsAtg4B(1-354) and LC3(1-120) (complex I; the product complex) and the other consisting of HsAtg4B(1-354) and LC3(1-124) (complex II; the substrate complex), were crystallized using polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant. In both complexes His280 of HsAtg4B was mutated to alanine. The crystals belong to the same space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 47.5, b = 91.8, c = 102.6 A for complex I and a = 46.9, b = 90.9, c = 102.5 A for complex II. Diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 1.9 A from both crystals.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human common-type acylphosphatase.

Project description:Human acylphosphatase, an 11 kDa enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of carboxyl phosphate bonds, has been studied extensively as a model system for amyloid-fibril formation. However, the structure is still not known of any isoform of human acylphosphatase. Here, the crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction data analysis of human common-type acylphosphatase are reported. Crystals of human common-type acylphosphatase have been grown by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method at 289 K using polyethylene glycol 4000 as precipitant. Diffraction data were collected to 1.45 A resolution at 100 K. The crystals belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 42.58, b = 47.23, c = 57.26 A.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of recombinant human galectin-1.

Project description:Galectin-1 is considered to be a regulator protein as it is ubiquitously expressed throughout the adult body and is responsible for a broad range of cellular regulatory functions. Interest in galectin-1 from a drug-design perspective is founded on evidence of its overexpression by many cancers and its immunomodulatory properties. The development of galectin-1-specific inhibitors is a rational approach to the fight against cancer because although galectin-1 induces a plethora of effects, null mice appear normal. X-ray crystallographic structure determination will aid the structure-based design of galectin-1 inhibitors. Here, the crystallization and preliminary diffraction analysis of human galectin-1 crystals generated under six different conditions is reported. X-ray diffraction data enabled the assignment of unit-cell parameters for crystals grown under two conditions, one belongs to a tetragonal crystal system and the other was determined as monoclinic P2(1), representing two new crystal forms of human galectin-1.
