Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the RPB5 subunit of human RNA polymerase II.

ABSTRACT: RPB5 is an essential subunit of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II. It has been proposed to interact with DNA and several key transcription factors during transcription. These interactions are crucial for transcription and its regulation. Here, prior to obtaining complex structures of human RPB5 and its binding partners, recombinant human RPB5 was crystallized alone by vapour diffusion in hanging drops. A complete data set was collected from a single frozen crystal employing an in-house X-ray source. The crystal diffracted to 2.8 Å resolution and belonged to space group P4(3)2(1)2. The likely Matthews coefficient and solvent content of 2.67 Å(3) Da(-1) and 53.92%, respectively, suggested the presence of two protein subunits in the asymmetric unit. The structure was solved using molecular replacement.

Expression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit L from Thermococcus onnurineus NA1.

Project description:RNA polymerase (RNAP) plays a crucial role in gene expression in all organisms. It is a multiprotein complex that produces primary transcript RNA. Generally, the basal transcription apparatus in archaea is simpler than the eukaryotic RNA polymerase II counterpart. To understand the structure and function of archaeal RNAP, the TON-0309 gene encoding DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit L (ToRNAP_L) from Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 was cloned and the protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. The purified protein was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method and the crystal diffracted to 2.10 Å resolution. The crystal belonged to the hexagonal space group P6122, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 42.3, c = 211.2 Å. One molecule was present in the asymmetric unit, with a corresponding VM of 2.5 Å(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 50.0%.

Solution structure of the RNA polymerase subunit RPB5 from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum.

Project description:RPB5 is an essential subunit of eukaryotic and archaeal RNA polymerases. It is a proposed target for transcription activator proteins in eukaryotes, but the mechanism of interaction is not known. We have determined the solution structure of the RPB5 subunit from the thermophilic archeon, Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum. MtRBP5 contains a four-stranded beta-sheet platform supporting two alpha-helices, one on each side of the beta-sheet, resulting in an overall mushroom shape that does not appear to have any structural homologues in the structural database. The position and conservation of charged surface residues suggests possible modes of interaction with other proteins, as well as a rationale for the thermal stability of this protein.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from Thosea asigna virus.

Project description:Thosea asigna virus (TaV) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) virus that belongs to the Permutotetravirus genera within the recently created Permutotetraviridae family. The genome of TaV consists of an RNA segment of about 5.700 nucleotides with two open reading frames, encoding for the replicase and capsid protein. The particular TaV replicase does not contain N7-methyl transferase and helicase domains but includes a structurally unique RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) with a sequence permutation in the domain where the active site is anchored. This architecture is also found in double-stranded RNA viruses of the Birnaviridae family. Here we report the purification and preliminary crystallographic studies TaV RdRp. The enzyme was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour diffusion method using PEG 8K and lithium sulfate as precipitants. Two different crystal forms were obtained: native RdRp crystallized in space group P2(1)2(1)2 and diffracts up to 2.1 Å and the RdRp-Lu(3+) derivative co-crystals belong to the C222(1) space group, diffracting to 3.0 Å resolution. The structure of TaV RdRp represents the first structure of a non-canonical RdRp from ssRNA viruses.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of human S100A13.

Project description:S100A13 is a member of the S100 family of EF-hand-containing calcium-binding proteins and plays an important role in the secretion of fibroblast growth factor-1 and interleukin 1alpha, two pro-angiogenic factors released by the endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi-independent non-classical secretory pathway. Human S100A13 was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using PEG 3350 as the precipitant. The crystals diffracted X-rays from a synchrotron-radiation source to 1.8 A resolution and the space group was assigned as primitive orthorhombic P2(1)2(1)2(1).

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the Plasmodium falciparum apicoplast DNA polymerase.

Project description:Infection by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum is the leading cause of malaria in humans. The parasite has a unique and essential plastid-like organelle called the apicoplast. The apicoplast contains a genome that undergoes replication and repair through the action of a replicative polymerase (apPOL). apPOL has no direct orthologs in mammalian polymerases and is therefore an attractive antimalarial drug target. No structural information exists for apPOL, and the Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I, which is its closest structural homolog, shares only 28% sequence identity. Here, conditions for the crystallization of and preliminary X-ray diffraction data from crystals of P. falciparum apPOL are reported. Data complete to 3.5?Å resolution were collected from a single crystal (2 × 2 × 5?µm) using a 5?µm beam. The space group P6522 (unit-cell parameters a = b = 141.8, c = 149.7?Å, ? = ? = 90, ? = 120°) was confirmed by molecular replacement. Refinement is in progress.

Crystal structure of RPB5, a universal eukaryotic RNA polymerase subunit and transcription factor interaction target.

Project description:Eukaryotic nuclei contain three different types of RNA polymerases (RNAPs), each consisting of 12-18 different subunits. The evolutionarily highly conserved RNAP subunit RPB5 is shared by all three enzymes and therefore represents a key structural/functional component of all eukaryotic RNAPs. Here we present the crystal structure of the RPB5 subunit from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The bipartite structure includes a eukaryote-specific N-terminal domain and a C-terminal domain resembling the archaeal RNAP subunit H. RPB5 has been implicated in direct protein-protein contacts with transcription factor IIB, one of the components of the RNAP(II) basal transcriptional machinery, and gene-specific activator proteins, such as the hepatitis B virus transactivator protein X. The experimentally mapped regions of RPB5 involved in these interactions correspond to distinct and surface-exposed alpha-helical structures.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human autotaxin.

Project description:Autotaxin (ATX), which is also known as ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (NPP2 or ENPP2) or phosphodiesterase Iα (PD-Iα), is an extracellular lysophospholipase D which generates lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). ATX stimulates tumour-cell migration, angiogenesis and metastasis and is an attractive target for cancer therapy. For crystallographic studies, the α isoform of human ATX was overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 3.0 Å resolution from a monoclinic crystal form belonging to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 311.4, b = 147.9, c = 176.9 Å, β = 122.6°.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase.

Project description:Quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (QPRTase) is a key NAD-biosynthetic enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of quinolinic acid to 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate, yielding nicotinic acid mononucleotide. Homo sapiens QPRTase (Hs-QPRTase) appeared as a hexamer during purification and the protein was crystallized. Diffraction data were collected and processed at 2.8 Å resolution. Native Hs-QPRTase crystals belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=76.2, b=137.1, c=92.7 Å, β=103.8°. Assuming the presence of six molecules in the asymmetric unit, the calculated Matthews coefficient is 2.46 Å3 Da(-1), which corresponds to a solvent content of 49.9%.
