Crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and SIRAS phasing of human ?-L-iduronidase.

ABSTRACT: Human lysosomal ?-L-iduronidase, whose deficiency causes mucopolysaccharidosis type I, was crystallized using sodium/potassium tartrate and polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant. Using synchrotron radiation, a native data set was collected from a single crystal at 100?K to 2.3?Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space group R3 with unit-cell dimensions of a=b=259.22, c=71.83?Å. To obtain the phase information, mercury-derivative crystals were prepared and a single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) data set was collected at the Hg peak wavelength. Phase calculation with the single isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering (SIRAS) method successfully yielded an interpretable electron-density map.

Crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and SIRAS/molecular-replacenent phasing of three crystal forms of Anabaena sensory rhodopsin transducer.

Project description:Anabaena sensory rhodopsin transducer (ASRT) is a 14.7 kDa soluble signaling protein associated with the membrane-embedded light receptor Anabaena sensory rhodopsin (ASR) from Anabaena sp., a freshwater cyanobacterium. Crystals of ASRT were obtained in three different space groups, P4, C2 and P2(1)2(1)2(1), which diffract to 1.8, 2.1 and 2.0 angstroms, respectively. Phases for one of these crystal forms (P4) were obtained by SIRAS phasing using an iodide quick-soak derivative and a partial model was built. Phases for the remaining crystal forms were obtained by molecular replacement using the partial model from the P4 crystal form.

Purification, crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and phasing of an engineered single-chain PvuII restriction endonuclease.

Project description:The restriction endonuclease PvuII from Proteus vulgaris has been converted from its wild-type homodimeric form into the enzymatically active single-chain variant scPvuII by tandemly joining the two subunits through the peptide linker Gly-Ser-Gly-Gly. scPvuII, which is suitable for the development of programmed restriction endonucleases for highly specific DNA cleavage, was purified and crystallized. The crystals diffract to a resolution of 2.35 A and belong to space group P4(2), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 101.92, c = 100.28 A and two molecules per asymmetric unit. Phasing was successfully performed by molecular replacement.

Crystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and phasing of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from the fungus Cochliobolus lunatus.

Project description:17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from the filamentous fungus Cochliobolus lunatus (17beta-HSDcl) is an NADP(H)-dependent enzyme that preferentially catalyses the oxidoreduction of oestrogens and androgens. The enzyme belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily and is the only fungal hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase known to date. 17beta-HSDcl has recently been characterized and cloned and has been the subject of several functional studies. Although several hypotheses on the physiological role of 17beta-HSDcl in fungal metabolism have been formulated, its function is still unclear. An X-ray crystallographic study has been undertaken and the optimal conditions for crystallization of 17beta-HSDcl (apo form) were established, resulting in well shaped crystals that diffracted to 1.7 A resolution. The space group was identified as I4(1)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 67.14, c = 266.77 A. Phasing was successfully performed by Patterson search techniques. A catalytic inactive mutant Tyr167Phe was also engineered, expressed, purified and crystallized for functional and structural studies.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human chondroadherin.

Project description:Chondroadherin is a cartilage matrix protein that is known to mediate the adhesion of isolated chondrocytes. Its protein core is composed of 11 leucine-rich repeats flanked by cysteine-rich domains at the N- and C-terminal ends. Recombinant human chondroadherin was crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 56.4, b = 111.3, c = 128.5 A, beta = 92.2, and are most likely to contain four molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystals diffracted to at least 2.3 A using synchrotron radiation, but structure determination using molecular replacement has so far been unsuccessful.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the human XRCC4-XLF complex.

Project description:XRCC4 and XLF are key proteins in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks through nonhomologous end-joining. Together, they form a complex that stimulates the ligation of double-strand breaks. Owing to the suggested filamentous nature of this complex, structural studies via X-ray crystallography have proven difficult. Multiple truncations of the XLF and XRCC4 proteins were cocrystallized, but yielded low-resolution diffraction (~20 Å). However, a combination of microseeding, dehydration and heavy metals improved the diffraction of XRCC4(?157)-XLF(?224) crystals to 3.9 Å resolution. Although molecular replacement alone was unable to produce a solution, when combined with the anomalous signal from tantalum bromide clusters initial phasing was successfully obtained.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2.

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP2) is a critical enzyme involved in the final processing of MHC class I antigens. Peptide trimming by ERAP2 and the other members of the oxytocinase subfamily is essential to customize longer precursor peptides in order to fit them to the correct length required for presentation on major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. While recent structures of ERAP1 have provided an understanding of the `molecular-ruler' mechanism of substrate selection, little is known about the complementary activities of its homologue ERAP2 despite their sharing 49% sequence identity. In order to gain insights into the structure-function relationship of the oxytocinase subfamily, and in particular ERAP2, the luminal region of human ERAP2 has been crystallized in the presence of the inhibitor bestatin. The crystals belonged to an orthorhombic space group and diffracted anisotropically to 3.3 Å resolution in the best direction on an in-house X-ray source. A molecular-replacement solution suggested that the enzyme has adopted the closed state as has been observed in other inhibitor-bound aminopeptidase structures.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human cytosolic seryl-tRNA synthetase.

Project description:Human cytosolic seryl-tRNA synthetase (hsSerRS) is responsible for the covalent attachment of serine to its cognate tRNA(Ser). Significant differences between the amino-acid sequences of eukaryotic, prokaryotic and archaebacterial SerRSs indicate that the domain composition of hsSerRS differs from that of its eubacterial and archaebacterial analogues. As a consequence of an N-terminal insertion and a C-terminal extra-sequence, the binding mode of tRNA(Ser) to hsSerRS is expected to differ from that in prokaryotes. Recombinant hsSerRS protein was purified to homogeneity and crystallized. Diffraction data were collected to 3.13?Å resolution. The structure of hsSerRS has been solved by the molecular-replacement method.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of human seminal plasma protein PSP94.

Project description:The human seminal plasma protein PSP94 is a small protein of 94 residues that contains ten cysteines. Since its discovery about 25 years ago, several potential biological functions have been reported for this protein. Many PSP94 homologues have also been identified since then from various species, but no crystal structure has been determined to date. PSP94 has been purified from human seminal plasma and crystallized. These crystals diffracted to approximately 2.3 A resolution and belonged to space group P4(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 107.9, b = 107.9, c = 92.1 A. There are four molecules in the asymmetric unit. Structure solution by the heavy-atom method is currently in progress.

Crystallization and X-ray diffraction analysis of N-terminally truncated human ALG-2.

Project description:ALG-2 (apoptosis-linked gene 2) is an apoptosis-linked calcium-binding protein with five EF-hand motifs in the C-terminal region. N-terminally truncated ALG-2 (des3-23ALG-2) was crystallized by the vapour-diffusion method in buffer consisting of either 50 mM MES pH 6.5, 12.5%(v/v) 2-propanol and 150 mM calcium acetate or 100 mM MES pH 6.0, 15%(v/v) ethanol and 200 mM zinc acetate. Crystals of the Ca(2+)-bound form belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 54.8, b = 154.4, c = 237.7 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees , and diffracted to 3.1 A resolution. Crystals of the Zn(2+)-bound form belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 52.8, b = 147.5, c = 230.7 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees , and diffracted to 3.3 A resolution. The structures of the Ca(2+)-bound form and the Zn(2+)-bound form were solved by the molecular-replacement method. Although both crystals contained eight ALG-2 molecules per asymmetric unit, the metal-ion locations and octameric arrangements were found to be significantly different.

Crystallization and X-ray diffraction analysis of a novel immune-type receptor from Ictalurus punctatus and phasing by selenium anomalous dispersion methods.

Project description:X-ray diffraction data from crystals of a novel immune-type receptor (NITR10 from the catfish Ictalurus punctatus) were collected to 1.65 A resolution and reduced to the primitive hexagonal lattice. Native and selenomethionine derivatives of NITR10 crystallized under different conditions yielded P3(1)21 crystals. SeMet NITR10 was phased to a correlation coefficient of 0.77 by SAD methods and experimental electron-density maps were calculated to 1.65 A. Five NITR10 molecules are predicted to be present in the asymmetric unit based on the Matthews coefficient.
