Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of the PYD domain of human NALP3.

ABSTRACT: The NALP3 inflammasome is a macromolecular complex that is responsible for the innate immune response against infection by bacterial and viral pathogens. The NALP3 inflammasome is composed of three protein components: NALP3, ASC and caspase 1. Interaction between NALP3 and ASC via PYD domains is critical for the assembly of the NALP3 inflammasome. In this study, human NALP3 PYD, corresponding to amino acids 3-110, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli using engineered C-terminal His tags. NALP3 PYD was then purified to homogeneity and crystallized at 293 K. Finally, X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 1.7 Å from a crystal belonging to the primitive monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 42.03, b = 60.14, c = 51.61 Å, ? = 107.40°.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of Drep2 CIDE domain.

Project description:Drep2 is a novel nuclease from the fruit fly that might have a similar function in apoptosis to DFF40 and DFF45, which are primary players in apoptotic DNA fragmentation. Drep2 contains a conserved CIDE domain of ∼90 amino-acid residues that is involved in protein-protein interaction. In this study, the Drep2 CIDE domain was purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction data were then collected to a resolution of 2.3 Å. The crystals were found to belong to the orthorhombic space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 50.28, b = 88.70, c = 113.37 Å.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary x-ray crystallographic studies of RAIDD Death-Domain (DD).

Project description:Caspase-2 activation by formation of PIDDosome is critical for genotoxic stress induced apoptosis. PIDDosome is composed of three proteins, RAIDD, PIDD, and Caspase-2. RAIDD is an adaptor protein containing an N-terminal Caspase-Recruiting-Domain (CARD) and a C-terminal Death-Domain (DD). Its interactions with Caspase-2 and PIDD through CARD and DD respectively and formation of PIDDosome are important for the activation of Caspase-2. RAIDD DD cloned into pET26b vector was expressed in E. coli cells and purified by nickel affinity chromatography and gel filtration. Although it has been known that the most DDs are not soluble in physiological condition, RAIDD DD was soluble and interacts tightly with PIDD DD in physiological condition. The purified RAIDD DD alone has been crystallized. Crystals are trigonal and belong to space group P3(1)21 (or its enantiomorph P3(2)21) with unit-cell parameters a = 56.3, b = 56.3, c = 64.9 A and gamma = 120 degrees . The crystals were obtained at room temperature and diffracted to 2.0 A resolution.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of the coiled-coil domain of PIST.

Project description:PIST [PDZ (PSD-95, Discs-large and ZO-1) protein interacting specifically with TC10] functions as a regulator of membrane trafficking with Rab6A. Recently, the involvement of the fusion of PIST with ROS1 in cancer development has been identified. In this study, the coiled-coil domain of PIST, which is the domain responsible for interaction with Rab6A and fusion with ROS1, corresponding to amino acids 29-133, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli using engineered C-terminal His tags. The coiled-coil domain of PIST was then purified to homogeneity and crystallized at 293 K. Finally, X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 4.0 Å from a crystal belonging to the hexagonal space group P6(2)22 or P6(4)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 85.19, c = 240.09 Å, γ = 120.00°.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic study of the human MST2 SARAH domain.

Project description:The SARAH domain at the C-terminus of human MST2 (residues 436-484) was overproduced and purified using an Escherichia coli expression system.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of the N-terminal domain of human ribosomal protein L7a (RPL7a).

Project description:Ribosomal proteins are a major component of ribosomes, which catalyze protein synthesis. One ribosomal protein, L7a (RPL7a), which is a component of the 60S large ribosomal subunit, has additional functions involved in cell growth and differentiation that occur via interaction with human thyroid hormone receptor (THR) and retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and in turn inhibit the activities of the two nuclear hormone receptors. In this study, the N-terminal domain of human RPL7a was overexpressed in Escherichia coli using an engineered C-terminal His tag. The N-terminal domain of human RPL7a was then purified to homogeneity and crystallized at 293?K. X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 3.5?Å from a crystal belonging to the tetragonal space group P4(1)22 or P4(3)22 with unit-cell parameters a = 92.28, b = 92.28, c = 236.59?Å.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of the CIDE-N domain of CIDE-3.

Project description:The CIDE-3 protein plays a critical role in lipid metabolism by its involvement in lipid droplet formation. CIDE-3 contains two conserved cell-death-inducing DFF45-like effector (CIDE) domains (CIDE-N at the N-terminus and CIDE-C at the C-terminus) of ∼90 amino-acid residues that are involved in protein-protein interaction. In this study, the CIDE-N domain of CIDE-3 was purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method and X-ray diffraction data were collected from the crystals to a resolution of 2.0 Å. The crystals were found to belong to space group P3(2), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 63.35, c = 37.60 Å, γ = 120°.

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?.

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).

Preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of the TRAF domain of human TRAF4.

Project description:TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF) proteins were initially identified as tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-interacting proteins that perform critical functions in the regulation of inflammation, antiviral responses and apoptosis. Although TRAF4 is a canonical TRAF protein, it contains a unique domain boundary and functions differently in the cell. In this study, the human TRAF4 TRAF domain, corresponding to amino acids 290-470, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli using engineered C-terminal His tags. The TRAF4 TRAF domain was then purified to homogeneity and crystallized at 293?K. Finally, X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 2.3?Å from a crystal belonging to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 58.9, b = 87.9, c = 117.3?Å, ? = ? = ? = 90°.
