Recombinant expression and purification of the tomato defensin TPP3 and its preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Class II defensins have been shown to have potent antifungal activity and are being exploited to protect agricultural crops against fungal pathogens. TPP3 is a poorly characterized member of the class II plant defensin family from tomato. To gain structural insight into the function of TPP3, soluble recombinant TPP3 was expressed and purified using the Pichia pastoris expression system, and the crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the protein are reported. Crystals of rTPP3 were obtained using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method at 293 K. Diffraction data were collected to 1.7 Å resolution. The crystals belonged to the hexagonal space group P6(1)22, with unit-cell parameters a = 64.97, b = 64.97, c = 82.40 Å, ? = 90, ? = 90, ? = 120°.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of tomato β-galactosidase 4.

Project description:Plant β-galactosidases play important roles in carbohydrate-reserve mobilization, cell-wall expansion and degradation, and turnover of signalling molecules during ripening. Tomato β-galactosidase 4 (TBG4) not only has β-galactosidase activity but also has exo-β-(1,4)-galactanase activity, and prefers β-(1,4)-galactans longer than pentamers as its substrates; most other β-galactosidases only have the former activity. Recombinant TBG4 protein expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method using PEG 10,000 as a precipitant. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group P212121, with unit-parameters a = 92.82, b = 96.30, c = 159.26 Å, and diffracted to 1.65 Å resolution. Calculation of the Matthews coefficient suggested the presence of two monomers per asymmetric unit (VM = 2.2 Å(3) Da(-1)), with a solvent content of 45%.

Expression, purification and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of cyanobacterial biliverdin reductase.

Project description:Biliverdin reductase (BVR) catalyzes the conversion of biliverdin IX α to bilirubin IX α with concomitant oxidation of an NADH or NADPH cofactor. This enzyme also binds DNA and enhances the transcription of specific genes. Recombinant cyanobacterial BVR was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. A native data set was collected to 2.34 Å resolution on beamline BL38B1 at SPring-8. An SeMet data set was collected from a microcrystal (300×10×10 µm) on the RIKEN targeted protein beamline BL32XU and diffraction spots were obtained to 3.0 Å resolution. The native BVR crystal belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=58.8, b=88.4, c=132.6 Å. Assuming that two molecules are present in the asymmetric unit, VM (the Matthews coefficient) was calculated to be 2.37 Å3 Da(-1) and the solvent content was estimated to be 48.1%. The structure of cyanobacterial BVR may provide insights into the mechanisms of its enzymatic and physiological functions.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic study of the nucleocapsid protein of tomato spotted wilt virus.

Project description:Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), which causes severe damage to various agricultural crops such as tomato, pepper, lettuce and peanut, is a negative-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Tospovirus genus of the Bunyaviridae family. Viral genomic RNA molecules are packaged in the form of ribonucleoprotein complexes, each of which contains one viral RNA molecule that is coated with many nucleocapsid (N) proteins. Here, the expression and crystallization of TSWV N protein are reported. Native and selenomethionine-substituted crystals of N protein belonged to the same space group P2(1). Their unit-cell parameters were a = 66.8, b = 97.2, c = 72.0 Å, ? = 112.8° and a = 66.5, b = 96.3, c = 72.1 Å, ? = 113.4°, respectively.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of Zucchini from Drosophila melanogaster.

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) bind PIWI proteins and silence transposons to maintain the genomic integrity of germ cells. Zucchini (Zuc), a phospholipase D superfamily member, is conserved among animals and is implicated in piRNA biogenesis. However, the underlying mechanism by which Zuc participates in piRNA biogenesis remains elusive. Drosophila melanogaster Zuc (DmZuc) was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.75?Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=55.0, b=71.2, c=56.3?Å, ?=107.9°.

Cloning, expression, purification and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of mouse protein arginine methyltransferase 7.

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (PRMT7) is a unique but less characterized member of the family of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) that plays a role in male germline gene imprinting. PRMT7 is the only known PRMT member that catalyzes the monomethylation but not the dimethylation of the target arginine residues and harbours two catalytic domains in tandem. PRMT7 genes from five different species were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and Sf21 insect cells. Four gave soluble proteins from Sf21 cells, of which two were homogeneous and one gave crystals. The mouse PRMT7 structure was solved by the single anomalous dispersion method using a crystal soaked with thimerosal that diffracted to beyond 2.1?Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space group P4(3)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 97.4, c = 168.1?Å and one PRMT7 monomer in the asymmetric unit. The structure of another crystal form belonging to space group I222 was solved by molecular replacement.

Expression, purification and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of nitroalkane oxidase (NAO) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Nitroalkane oxidase (NAO) is a flavin-dependent enzyme which catalyses the oxidation of nitroalkanes to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide. In order to better understand the structure and function of this enzyme, NAO from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was purified and crystallized as a native and a selenomethionine-substituted (SeMet) enzyme. Both crystals diffracted to a resolution of 1.9 Å and belonged to the primitive orthorhombic space group P2?, with unit-cell parameters a = 70.06, b = 55.43, c = 87.74 Å, ? = 96.56° for native NAO and a = 69.89, b = 54.83, c = 88.20 Å, ? = 95.79° for SeMet NAO. Assuming the presence of two molecules in the asymmetric unit in both crystals, the Matthews coefficients (VM) for native and SeMet NAO were calculated to be 2.30 and 2.48 Å³ Da?¹, with estimated solvent contents of 46.50 and 50.37%, respectively.
