Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of two eukaryotic fructosyl peptide oxidases.

ABSTRACT: Fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX) catalyses the oxidation of ?-glycated dipeptides such as N(?)-(1-deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-L-valyl-L-histidine (Fru-ValHis) and is used in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Here, two thermostable mutants of FPOX, CFP-T7 and EFP-T5M, were crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystal of CFP-T7 belonged to the tetragonal space group P4(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 110.09, c = 220.48 Å, and that of EFP-T5M belonged to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 43.00, b = 230.05, c = 47.27 Å, ? = 116.99°. The crystals of CFP-T7 and EFP-T5M diffracted to 1.8 and 1.6 Å resolution, respectively.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of eukaryotic transcription and mRNA export factor Iws1 from Encephalitozoon cuniculi.

Project description:Transcription elongation by eukaryotic RNA polymerase II requires the coupling of mRNA synthesis and mRNA processing and export. The essential protein Iws1 is at the interface of these processes through its interaction with histone chaperone and elongation factor Spt6 as well as with complexes involved in mRNA processing and export. Upon crystallization of the evolutionarily conserved domain of Iws1 from Encephalitozoon cuniculi, four different crystal forms were obtained. Three of the crystal forms belonged to space group P2(1) and one belonged to space group P222(1). Preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of one of the crystal forms allowed the collection of data to 2.5 A resolution.

Expression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of peptide deformylase from Campylobacter jejuni.

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is one of the major foodborne pathogens causing human infection. Peptide deformylase, a metallohydrolase, catalyzes the deformylation of N-formylated methionine in newly synthesized polypeptides in prokaryotes and some eukaryotic organelles. The deformylation process is an essential step in protein synthesis and has attracted much attention as a potential target for the development of novel antibacterial agents. Here, the cloned codon-optimized def gene from C. jejuni was synthesized and the protein was expressed, purified and crystallized. C. jejuni peptide deformylase crystals obtained at pH 7.0 and pH 6.5 diffracted to 2.9?Å resolution and belonged to the trigonal space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a=b=105.7, c=58.0?Å. One monomer existed in the asymmetric unit, with a corresponding VM of 3.1?Å3?Da(-1) and a solvent content of 60.4%.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of manganese lipoxygenase.

Project description:Lipoxygenases constitute a family of nonhaem metal enzymes with catalytic iron or, occasionally, catalytic manganese. Lipoxygenases oxidize polyunsaturated fatty acids with position specificity and stereospecificity to hydroperoxides, which contribute to inflammation and the development of cancer. Little is known about the structural differences between lipoxygenases with Fe or Mn and the metal-selection mechanism. A Pichia pastoris expression system was used for the production of the manganese lipoxygenase of the take-all fungus of wheat, Gaeumannomyces graminis. The active enzyme was treated with ?-mannosidase, purified to apparent homogeneity and subjected to crystal screening and X-ray diffraction. The crystals diffracted to 2.6?Å resolution and belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 226.6, b = 50.6, c = 177.92?Å, ? = 91.70°.

Functional analysis of fructosyl-amino acid oxidases of Aspergillus oryzae.

Project description:Three active fractions of fructosyl-amino acid oxidase (FAOD-Ao1, -Ao2a, and -Ao2b) were isolated from Aspergillus oryzae strain RIB40. N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences of FAOD-Ao2a corresponded to those of FAOD-Ao2b, suggesting that these two isozymes were derived from the same protein. FAOD-Ao1 and -Ao2 were different in substrate specificity and subunit assembly; FAOD-Ao2 was active toward N(epsilon)-fructosyl N(alpha)-Z-lysine and fructosyl valine (Fru-Val), whereas FAOD-Ao1 was not active toward Fru-Val. The genes encoding the FAOD isozymes (i.e., FAOAo1 and FAOAo2) were cloned by PCR with an FAOD-specific primer set. The deduced amino acid sequences revealed that FAOD-Ao1 was 50% identical to FAOD-Ao2, and each isozyme had a peroxisome-targeting signal-1, indicating their localization in peroxisomes. The genes was expressed in Escherichia coli and rFaoAo2 showed the same characteristics as FAOD-Ao2, whereas rFaoAo1 was not active. FAOAo2 disruptant was obtained by using ptrA as a selective marker. Wild-type strain grew on the medium containing Fru-Val as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources, but strain Delta faoAo2 did not grow. Addition of glucose or (NH(4))(2)SO(4) to the Fru-Val medium did not affect the assimilation of Fru-Val by wild-type, indicating glucose and ammonium repressions did not occur in the expression of the FAOAo2 gene. Furthermore, conidia of the wild-type strain did not germinate on the medium containing Fru-Val and NaNO(2) as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, suggesting that Fru-Val may also repress gene expression of nitrite reductase. These results indicated that FAOD is needed for utilization of fructosyl-amino acids as nitrogen sources in A. oryzae.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of a putative nonribosomal peptide synthase AmbB from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:AmbB is a putative nonribosomal peptide synthase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is involved in the production of IQS, a potent cell-cell communication signal molecule that integrates the quorum-sensing mechanism and stress response. It consists of 1249 amino acids and contains an AMP-binding domain, a phosphopantetheine-binding (PB) domain and a condensation (C) domain. In this report, a truncated form of AmbB that contains the PB domain and the condensation domain was overexpressed with an N-terminal GST tag in Escherichia coli and purified as a monomer using affinity and size-exclusion chromatography. The recombinant AmbBc (comprising residues 727-1249 of full-length AmbB) was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method and a full data set was collected to 2.45?Å resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. The crystals belonged to space group P6122 or P6522, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 87.81, c = 286.8?Å, ? = 90, ? = 90, ? = 120°, and contained one molecule per asymmetric unit.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of two dimeric hyperthermostable thioredoxins isolated from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:The thioredoxin system of the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus involves a number of different proteins: two thioredoxin reductases (SsTrxRB2 and SsTrxRB3), two distinct thioredoxins (SsTrxA1 and SsTrxA2) and a disulfide oxidoreductase (SsPDO). Here, the crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analyses of SsTrxA1 and SsTrxA2, two dimeric proteins endowed with extraordinary thermal stability, are reported. In addition to the functional thioredoxin domain, both SsTrxA1 and SsTrxA2 present an extra N-terminal fragment of approximately 30 residues. Although crystallization trials have been conducted on both forms of the proteins, crystals that were suitable for X-ray crystallographic analyses have only been obtained for their truncated variants. The crystals of SsTrxA2 belonged to space group P2, with unit-cell parameters a = 28.27, b = 27.88, c = 62.06 A, beta = 92.34 degrees , and diffracted to 1.83 A resolution, whereas the crystals of SsTrxA1 belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 51.76, b = 75.09, c = 55.35 A, beta = 112.64 degrees , and diffracted to 1.90 A resolution. The structures of the two proteins have been solved by molecular replacement.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of human cystathionine ?-synthase.

Project description:Human cystathionine ?-synthase (CBS) is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent hemeprotein, whose catalytic activity is regulated by S-adenosylmethionine. CBS catalyzes the ?-replacement reaction of homocysteine (Hcy) with serine to yield cystathionine. CBS is a key regulator of plasma levels of the thrombogenic Hcy and deficiency in CBS is the single most common cause of homocystinuria, an inherited metabolic disorder of sulfur amino acids. The properties of CBS enzymes, such as domain organization, oligomerization degree or regulatory mechanisms, are not conserved across the eukaryotes. The current body of knowledge is insufficient to understand these differences and their impact on CBS function and physiology. To overcome this deficiency, we have addressed the crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of a protein construct (hCBS516-525) that contains the full-length CBS from Homo sapiens (hCBS) and just lacks amino-acid residues 516-525, which are located in a disordered loop. The human enzyme yielded crystals belonging to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a=124.98, b=136.33, c=169.83?Å and diffracting X-rays to a resolution of 3.0?Å. The crystal structure appears to contain two molecules in the asymmetric unit which presumably correspond to a dimeric form of the enzyme.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of Gibberella zeae extracellular lipase.

Project description:Fusarium head blight, one of the most destructive crop diseases, is mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum (known in its sexual stage as Gibberella zeae). F. graminearum secretes various extracellular enzymes that have been hypothesized to be involved in host infection. One of the extracellular enzymes secreted by this organism is the G. zeae extracellular lipase (GZEL), which is encoded by the FGL1 gene. In order to solve the crystal structure of GZEL and to gain a better understanding of the biological functions of the protein and of possible inhibitory mechanisms of lipase inhibitors, recombinant GZEL was crystallized at 291 K using PEG 3350 as a precipitant. A data set was collected to 2.8 A resolution from a single flash-cooled crystal (100 K). The crystal belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 78.4, b = 91.0, c = 195.8 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees . The presence of four molecules was assumed per asymmetric unit, which gave a Matthews coefficient of 2.6 A(3) Da(-1).
