Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of the mannose-binding lectin domain of MSMEG_3662 from Mycobacterium smegmatis.

ABSTRACT: The mannose-binding lectin domain of MSMEG_3662 from Mycobacterium smegmatis has been cloned, expressed, purified and crystallized and the crystals have been characterized using X-ray diffraction. The Matthews coefficient suggests the possibility of two lectin domains in the triclinic cell. The amino-acid sequence of the domain indicates structural similarity to well characterized ?-prism II fold lectins.

HisB from Mycobacterium tuberculosis: cloning, overexpression in Mycobacterium smegmatis, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Project description:HisB, encoded by open reading frame Rv1601, possesses enzymatic activity as an imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase in the histidine-biosynthetic pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A recombinant form of HisB was crystallized in three crystal forms: crystals grown using 20% PEG 1500 as a precipitant belonged to either the cubic space group P432 or the tetragonal space group P4, while an orthorhombic crystal form belonging to space group P2(1)2(1)2 was obtained using 15% PEG 5000 and 10 mM MnCl(2) as precipitant. The structure of HisB in the orthorhombic crystal form was solved by the molecular-replacement method using the crystal structure of its Arabidopsis thaliana counterpart, which shares 47% sequence identity with Rv1601, as the search model.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of a pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase from Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Project description:Pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidases (PNPOxs) are known to catalyse the terminal step in pyridoxal 5'-phosphate biosynthesis in a flavin mononucleotide-dependent manner in humans and Escherichia coli. Recent reports of a putative PNPOx from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Rv1155, suggest that the cofactor or catalytic mechanism may differ in Mycobacterium species. To investigate this, a putative PNPOx from M. smegmatis, Msmeg_3380, has been cloned. This enzyme has been recombinantly expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. Good-quality crystals of selenomethionine-substituted Msmeg_3380 were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique and diffracted to 1.2 A using synchrotron radiation.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the regulatory domain of aspartokinase (Rv3709c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:The regulatory domain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis aspartokinase (Mtb-AK, Mtb-Ask, Rv3709c) has been cloned, heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and purified using standard chromatographic techniques. Screening for initial crystallization conditions using the regulatory domain (AK-?) in the presence of the potential feedback inhibitor threonine identified four conditions which yielded crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis. From these four conditions five different crystal forms of Mtb-AK-? resulted, three of which belonged to the orthorhombic system, one to the tetragonal system and one to the monoclinic system. The highest resolution (1.6?Å) was observed for a crystal form belonging to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=53.70, b=63.43, c=108.85?Å and two molecules per asymmetric unit.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of the C-terminal domain of Rv3262 (FbiB) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:During cofactor F(420) biosynthesis, the enzyme F(420)-?-glutamyl ligase (FbiB) catalyzes the addition of ?-linked L-glutamate residues to form polyglutamylated F(420) derivatives. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Rv3262 (FbiB) consists of two domains: an N-terminal domain from the F(420) ligase superfamily and a C-terminal domain with sequence similarity to nitro-FMN reductase superfamily proteins. To characterize the role of the C-terminal domain of FbiB in polyglutamyl ligation, it has been purified and crystallized in an apo form. The crystals diffracted to 2.0 Å resolution using a synchrotron source and belonged to the tetragonal space group P4(1)2(1)2 (or P4(3)2(1)2), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 136.6, c = 101.7 Å, ? = ? = ? = 90°.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of MsDpo4: a Y-family DNA polymerase from Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Project description:The expression of error-prone DNA polymerases belonging to the Y-family is upregulated in prokaryotes under adverse conditions to facilitate adaptive mutagenesis. However, it has been suggested that representatives of this family in mycobacteria do not participate in adaptive mutagenesis. These studies raise the possibility that mycobacterial representatives might be devoid of biochemical activity. In order to determine whether this possible loss of activity is a consequence of significant changes in the structure of these enzymes, structural studies on a representative enzyme from Mycobacterium smegmatis, MsDpo4, were initiated. The protein crystallized in space group P6(1)22 or P6(5)22. The Matthews coefficient was 4.0 Å3 Da(-1) assuming the presence of one molecule in the asymmetric unit; the corresponding solvent content was 69%. X-ray diffraction data were collected to a minimum Bragg spacing of 2.6 Å and crystals of selenomethionine-labelled MsDpo4 have been prepared for ab initio phasing.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of bacterioferritin A from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:Bacterioferritins (Bfrs) comprise a subfamily of the ferritin superfamily of proteins that play an important role in bacterial iron storage and homeostasis. Bacterioferritins differ from ferritins in that they have additional noncovalently bound haem groups. To assess the physiological role of this subfamily of ferritins, a greater understanding of the structural details of bacterioferritins from various sources is required. The gene encoding bacterioferritin A (BfrA) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein product was purified by affinity chromatography on a Strep-Tactin column and crystallized with sodium chloride as a precipitant at pH 8.0 using the vapour-diffusion technique. The crystals diffracted to 2.1 A resolution and belonged to space group P4(2), with unit-cell parameters a = 123.0, b = 123.0, c = 174.6 A.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the mannose 6-phosphate isomerase from Salmonella typhimurium.

Project description:Mannose 6-phosphate isomerase (MPI; EC 5.3.1.8) catalyzes the reversible isomerization of D-mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) and D-fructose 6-phosphate (F6P). In the eukaryotes and prokaryotes investigated to date, the enzyme has been reported to play a crucial role in D-mannose metabolism and supply of the activated mannose donor guanosine diphosphate D-mannose (GDP-D-mannose). In the present study, MPI was cloned from Salmonella typhimurium, overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified using Ni-NTA affinity column chromatography. Purified MPI crystallized in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 36.03, b = 92.2, c = 111.01 A. A data set extending to 1.66 A resolution was collected with 98.8% completeness using an image-plate detector system mounted on a rotating-anode X-ray generator. The asymmetric unit of the crystal cell was compatible with the presence of a monomer of MPI. A preliminary structure solution of the enzyme has been obtained by molecular replacement using Candida albicans MPI as the phasing model and the program Phaser. Further refinement and model building are in progress.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray characterization of MutT2, MSMEG_5148 from Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Project description:Crystallization of MutT2, MSMEG_5148 from Mycobacterium smegmatis, has been carried out and the crystals have been characterized using X-ray diffraction. Matthews coefficient calculation suggests the possibility of one protein molecule in the asymmetric unit of the orthorhombic unit cell, space group P2(1)2(1)2 or P2(1)22. Solution of the structure of the protein by molecular replacement using the known three-dimensional structure of a bacterial Nudix hydrolase is envisaged.
