Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the kinase domain of AtMAP4Kalpha2 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis thaliana (At) MAP4Kalpha2, a member of the Ste20/PAK-like protein kinase family, is an essential component of the septum initiation network involved in cell division. To better understand the mode of action of AtMAP4Kalpha2, a structural biology approach has been pursued. In this study, the kinase domain of AtMAP4Kalpha2 was cloned, expressed, purified and crystallized. The crystals diffracted to 1.9 Å resolution and belonged to space group C2221, with unit-cell parameters a = 55.27, b = 82.93, c = 133.15 Å.

GPX3 from Arabidopsis thaliana: cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis.

Project description:The Arabidopsis thaliana glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3) gene encodes a glutathione peroxidase with roles in H2O2 homeostasis and signalling. The GPX3 gene sequence was cloned into pGEX-6P1 and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The GPX3 protein was purified to homogeneity in two chromatographic steps. Various lengths of the GPX3 sequence were used to obtain proteins that yielded crystals using vapour-diffusion techniques, but only GPX3ΔN36 (lacking 36 amino acids from the N-terminus) showed a good diffraction pattern. Its crystals diffracted to 2.8 Å resolution and belonged to space group P65, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 98.241, c = 42.057 Å.

Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the receiver domain of the histidine kinase CKI1 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:The receiver domain (RD) of a sensor histidine kinase (HK) catalyses the transphosphorylation reaction during the action of HKs in hormonal and abiotic signalling in plants. Crystals of the recombinant RD of the Arabidopsis thaliana HK CYTOKININ-INDEPENDENT1 (CKI1(RD)) have been obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant and glycerol as a cryoprotectant. The crystals diffracted to approximately 2.4 A resolution on beamline BW7B of the DORIS-III storage ring. The diffraction improved significantly after the use of a non-aqueous cryoprotectant. Crystals soaked in Paratone-N diffracted to at least 2.0 A resolution on beamline BW7B and their mosaicity decreased more than tenfold. The crystals belonged to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 54.46, b = 99.82, c = 79.94 A. Assuming the presence of one molecule of the protein in the asymmetric unit gives a Matthews coefficient V(M) of 2.33 A(3) Da(-1). A molecular-replacement solution has been obtained and structure refinement is in progress.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana BRI1-associated kinase 1 (BAK1) cytoplasmic domain.

Project description:BRI1-associated kinase 1 (BAK1) is a member of the plant receptor-like kinase (RLK) superfamily. BAK1 has been shown to initiate brassinosteroid (BR) signalling and innate immune responses in plants by forming receptor complexes with both brassinosteroid-insensitive 1 (BRI1) and flagellin-sensing 2 (FLS2). To gain a better understanding of the structural details and the mechanism of action of the BAK1 kinase domain, recombinant BAK1 cytoplasmic domain has been expressed, purified and crystallized at 291 K using PEG 3350 as a precipitant. A 2.6 Å resolution data set was collected from a single flash-cooled crystal at 100 K. This crystal belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 70.3, b = 75.6, c = 71.9 Å, β = 93.1°. Assuming the presence of one molecule in the asymmetric unit, the Matthews coefficient was 2.6 Å(3) Da(-1).

AtNPR4 from Arabidopsis thaliana: expression, purification, crystallization and crystallographic analysis.

Project description:Salicylic acid (SA) is an important phytohormone that is involved in the regulation of plant defence, growth and development. A large number of proteins have been shown to have the ability to interact with SA, and NPR4 has been demonstrated to be a receptor of SA that plays significant roles in the innate immune response of plants. In this study, Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells were used to express full-length AtNPR4 from Arabidopsis thaliana. To facilitate crystallization, T4 lysozyme (T4L) was added to the N-terminus of the AtNPR4 protein. The recombinant T4L-AtNPR4 protein was expressed, purified and crystallized using the sitting-drop and hanging-drop vapour-diffusion methods. The T4L-AtNPR4 crystals have symmetry consistent with space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 93.7, b = 85.8, c = 88.2?Å, ? = 90° and one molecule per asymmetric unit. The best crystal diffracted to a resolution of 2.75?Å. Structure determination is in progress.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction crystallographic study of human synaptotagmin 5 C2A domain.

Project description:Synaptotagmin acts as the Ca(2+) sensor for neural and endocrine exocytosis. Synaptotagmin 5 has been demonstrated to play a key role in the acquisition of cathepsin D and the vesicular proton ATPase and in Ca(2+)-dependent insulin exocytosis. The C2 domains modulate the interaction of synaptotagmin with the phospholipid bilayer of the presynaptic terminus and effector proteins such as the SNARE complex. This study reports the cloning, expression in Escherichia coli, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the C2A domain of human synaptotagmin 5 with an N-terminal His(6) tag. The crystals diffracted to 1.90 Å resolution and belonged to the hexagonal space group P6(5), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 93.97, c = 28.05 Å. A preliminary model of the protein structure has been built and refinement of the model is ongoing.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the C-terminal domain of Par-4 (PAWR).

Project description:Prostate apoptosis response-4 protein is an intrinsically disordered pro-apoptotic protein with tumour suppressor function. Par-4 is known for its selective induction of apoptosis in cancer cells only and its ability to interact with various apoptotic proteins via its C-terminus. Par-4, with its unique function and various interacting partners, has gained importance as a potential target for cancer therapy. The C-terminus of the rat homologue of Par-4 was crystallized and a 3.7 Å resolution X-ray diffraction data set was collected. Preliminary data analysis shows the space group to be P41212. The unit-cell parameters are a = b = 115.351, c = 123.663 Å, α = β = γ = 90°.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of NifH1 from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii.

Project description:Nitrogen fixation is catalyzed by the nitrogenase complex in Azotobacter, which is composed of dinitrogenase and dinitrogenase reductase. Dinitrogenase is an ?(2)?(2) heterotetramer of the proteins NifD and NifK. Dinitrogenase reductase is a homodimer of the protein NifH. The expression of NifD/K and NifH nitrogenase homologues (named NflD/K and NflH for Nif-like D and H, respectively) has been detected in the non-nitrogen-fixing hyperthermophilic methanogen Methanocaldococcus jannaschii. Solving the structure of MjNifH1 may help in better understanding its function and may supply some clues to understanding the evolution of nitrogenase. The full-length protein with an additional His(6) tag at the C-terminus was expressed, purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 287 K. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected to a resolution of 3.3 Å. The crystal belonged to space group P4(1)32, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 139.45 Å, and was estimated to contain one protein molecule per asymmetric unit.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic study of thymidylate kinase (TTHA1607) from Thermus thermophilus HB8.

Project description:Nucleotide biosynthesis plays a key role in cell survival and cell proliferation. Thymidylate kinase is an enzyme that catalyses the conversion of dTMP to dTDP using ATP-Mg(2+) as a phosphoryl-donor group. This enzyme is present at the junction of the de novo and salvage pathways; thus, any inhibitor designed against it will result in cell death. This highlights the importance of this enzyme as a drug target. Thymidylate kinase from the extremely thermophilic organism Thermus thermophilus HB8 has been expressed, purified and crystallized using the microbatch method. The crystals diffracted to a resolution of 1.83 Å and belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 39.50, b = 80.29, c = 122.55 Å. Preliminary studies revealed the presence of a dimer in the asymmetric unit with a Matthews coefficient (V(M)) of 2.18 Å(3) Da(-1).
