Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of Helicobacter pylori arginase.

ABSTRACT: Helicobacter pylori arginase is an important factor in evasion of the host's immune system and contributes to persistent infection by this bacterium. It is unique in many aspects compared with other arginases: for example, it has optimal activity with Co(2+) as a cofactor rather than Mn(2+) and has strongest activity at acidic pH instead of alkaline pH. In this study, H. pylori arginase was purified and crystallized in complex with Mn(2+) and a diffraction data set was collected to 2.2?Å resolution. The crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 94.69, b = 102.24, c = 148.61?Å.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of MinE, the cell-division topological specificity factor from Helicobacter pylori.

Project description:Cell division in Gram-negative bacteria is driven by the formation of an FtsZ ring at the division site. MinE regulates the proper placement of the FtsZ ring at mid-cell by blocking the inhibitory action of the MinCD complex. Diffraction data were collected at 2.8 A resolution from a native crystal of full-length Helicobacter pylori MinE. The crystal belonged to space group P6(4). Assuming the presence of two molecules in the asymmetric unit, the calculated Matthews coefficient was 2.58 A(3) Da(-1), which corresponds to a solvent content of 52.3%. For MAD phasing, a four-wavelength data set was collected at 3.0 A resolution.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of decameric and monomeric forms of C49S mutant thioredoxin-dependent AhpC from Helicobacter pylori.

Project description:Cys49Ser mutant Helicobacter pylori alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (C49S HpAhpC) was purified under reducing conditions in monomeric and decameric forms. The monomeric form was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method.

A crystal of the decameric form was obtained by the microbatch crystallization method and diffracted to 2.8 A resolution. It belonged to space group C222, with unit-cell parameters a = 257.5, b = 417.5, c = 95.6 A. The structure of the monomeric form of C49S HpAhpC has been solved by the molecular-replacement method.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of swine CD8?.

Project description:CD8?? homodimers or CD8?? heterodimers form on the T-cell surface, where they are essential as co-receptors for MHC class I molecules in activation of the CTL response. To date, swine have been found to show the highest percentage of lymphocytes with surface expression of CD8?. Crystallographic analysis of swine CD8? (sCD8?) to 1.8?Å resolution revealed that the crystals belonged to space group P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = 80.97, b = 80.97, c = 95.19?Å. The Matthews coefficient and the solvent content were calculated to be 3.23?Å(3)?Da(-1) and 61.89%, respectively. These results may aid further structural and functional analyses of sCD8?.

Cloning, purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the Helicobacter pylori leucyl aminopeptidase-bestatin complex.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori is an important human pathogenic bacterium associated with numerous severe gastroduodenal diseases, including ulcers and gastric cancer. Cytosolic leucyl aminopeptidase (LAP) is an important housekeeping protein that is involved in peptide and protein turnover, catabolism of proteins and modulation of gene expression. LAP is upregulated in metronidazole-resistant H. pylori, which suggests that, in addition to having an important housekeeping role, LAP contributes to the mechanism of drug resistance. Crystals of H. pylori LAP have been grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol as a precipitating agent. The crystals belonged to the primitive triclinic space group P1, with unit-cell parameters a = 97.5, b = 100.2, c = 100.4?Å, ? = 75.4, ? = 60.9, ? = 81.8°. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected to 2.8?Å resolution from a single crystal. Molecular-replacement results using these data indicate that H. pylori LAP is a hexamer with 32 symmetry.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of DnaJ from Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Project description:DnaJ, cooperating with DnaK and GrpE, promotes the folding of unfolded hydrophobic polypeptides, dissociates protein complexes and translocates protein across membranes. Additionally, DnaJ from Streptococcus pneumoniae (SpDnaJ) is involved in the infectious disease process and is being developed as a potential vaccine to prevent bacterial infection. Here the expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of SpDnaJ are reported.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of GRASP65 GRASP domain from Rattus norvegicus.

Project description:GRASP65 and GRASP55 were classified as Golgi reassembly stacking proteins which play crucial and complementary roles in the stacking of Golgi cisternae.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of Rhagium inquisitor antifreeze protein.

Project description:Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are a specialized evolutionary adaptation of a variety of bacteria, fish, arthropods and other organisms to inhibit ice-crystal growth for survival in harsh subzero environments. The recently reported novel hyperactive AFP from Rhagium inquisitor (RiAFP) is the second distinct type of AFP in beetles and its structure could reveal important molecular insights into the evolution of AFPs. For this purpose, RiAFP was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized at 293?K using a combination of 23% PEG 3350 and 0.2?M ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.3?Å resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. The crystals belonged to the trigonal space group P3(1)21 (or P3(2)21), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 46.46, c = 193.21?Å.
