Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human Apaf-1-interacting protein.

ABSTRACT: Apaf-1-interacting protein (APIP) is known to inhibit two different types of cell death: caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis and caspase-9-dependent apoptosis. APIP is also involved in the methionine-salvage pathway, where it is called 5-methylthioribulose-1-phosphate dehydratase (MtnB). The enzyme activity seems to be essential for inhibition of pyroptosis by APIP, but not for inhibition of apoptosis. In this study, human APIP was overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected to 2.40?Å resolution and the crystals belonged to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a=106.61, b=107.50, c=189.76?Å. Given that four APIP molecules exist in the asymmetric unit, the Matthews coefficient is 2.70?Å3?Da(-1) and the corresponding solvent content is 54.4%.

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.

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%.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human ?-galactosidase.

Project description:?-D-Galactosidase (?-Gal) is an exoglycosidase that cleaves ?-galactosides from glycoproteins, sphingolipids and keratan sulfate. This study reports the expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human lysosomal ?-Gal. The sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method was used to crystallize ?-Gal in complexes with its product galactose and with the inhibitor 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin. The resulting crystals were isomorphous and belonged to space group P2(1). The crystals of the ?-Gal-galactose and the ?-Gal-inhibitor complexes had unit-cell parameters a = 94.8, b = 116.1, c = 140.3 Å, ? = 92.2° and a = 94.8, b = 116.0, c = 140.3 Å, ? = 92.2°, respectively. Diffraction data were collected to 1.8 Å resolution for both crystals.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human peptidylarginine deiminase type I.

Project description:Peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) catalyzes the post-translational conversion of peptidylarginine to peptidylcitrulline in the presence of calcium ions. Among the five known human PAD isozymes (PAD1-4 and PAD6), PAD1 exhibits the broadest substrate specificity. Crystals of PAD1 obtained using polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant diffracted to 3.70 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of a nonstructural protein 15 mutant from Human coronavirus 229E.

Project description:Nonstructural protein 15 (nsp15), also called endoribonuclease, is a gene product of open reading frame 1b (ORF 1b) in coronaviruses. It is an important enzyme in the transcription/replication process involved in discontinuous negative-strand RNA synthesis. In this work, mutants of nsp15 from Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) were made based on structural analysis of the homologous nsp15s in Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV). The I26A/N52A mutant of nsp15 was overexpressed, purified and crystallized, and this mutant led to a trimeric form rather than hexamers or monomers. Crystals of trimeric nsp15 were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol as a precipitant and diffracted to 2.5?Å resolution. The crystals belonged to space group C2221, with unit-cell parameters a = 85.9, b = 137.5, c = 423.1?Å, ? = ? = ? = 90°.

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).

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human plasma platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase.

Project description:The plasma form of the human enzyme platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) has been crystallized, and X-ray diffraction data were collected at a synchrotron source to a resolution of 1.47 A. The crystals belong to space group C2, with unit cell parameters of a = 116.18, b = 83.06, c = 96.71 A, and beta= 115.09 degrees and two molecules in the asymmetric unit. PAF-AH functions as a general anti-inflammatory scavenger by reducing the levels of the signaling molecule PAF. Additionally, the LDL bound enzyme has been linked to atherosclerosis due to its hydrolytic activities of pro-inflammatory agents, such as sn-2 oxidatively fragmented phospholipids.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 2 (hHINT2).

Project description:Histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 2 (HINT2) is a mitochondrial adenosine phosphoramidase mainly expressed in the pancreas, liver and adrenal gland. HINT2 possibly plays a role in apoptosis, as well as being involved in steroid biosynthesis, hepatic lipid metabolism and regulation of hepatic mitochondria function. The expression level of HINT2 is significantly down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma patients. To date, endogenous substrates for this enzyme, as well as the three-dimensional structure of human HINT2, are unknown. In this study, human HINT2 was cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Crystallization was performed at 278 K using PEG 4000 as the main precipitant; the crystals, which belonged to the tetragonal space group P41212 with unit-cell parameters a = b = 76.38, c = 133.25 Å, diffracted to 2.83?Å resolution. Assuming two molecules in the asymmetric unit, the Matthews coefficient and the solvent content were calculated to be 2.63 Å(3) Da(-1) and 53.27%, respectively.
