Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of glucuronoxylan xylanohydrolase (Xyn30A) from Clostridium thermocellum.

ABSTRACT: The modular carbohydrate-active enzyme belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 30 (GH30) from Clostridium thermocellum (CtXynGH30) is a cellulosomal protein which plays an important role in plant cell-wall degradation. The full-length CtXynGH30 contains an N-terminal catalytic module (Xyn30A) followed by a family 6 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM6) and a dockerin at the C-terminus. The recombinant protein has a molecular mass of 45 kDa. Preliminary structural characterization was carried out on Xyn30A crystallized in different conditions. All tested crystals belonged to space group P1 with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Molecular replacement has been used to solve the Xyn30A structure.

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of D-ribose-5-phosphate isomerase from Clostridium thermocellum.

Project description:Rare sugars are used for many industrial and medical purposes and are produced by the interconversion between aldoses and ketoses catalyzed by sugar and sugar-phosphate isomerases. Recently, Clostridium thermocellum d-ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (CTRPI), an aldose-ketose isomerase, was cloned in order to synthesize d-allose and its substrate specificity was further characterized for industrial usage. CTRPI has a novel substrate specificity that differs from those of other isomerases, which have broad substrate specificities. CTRPI prefers aldose substrates such as l-talose, d-ribose and d-allose. CTRPI was purified and crystallized in order to determine its three-dimensional structure and thus to elucidate its enzymatic reaction mechanism and understand its substrate specificity. The crystal belonged to the trigonal space group P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 69.5, c = 154.4 angstrom, and diffracted to 1.9 angstrom resolution. According to Matthews coefficient calculations, the crystallographic structure consists of a dimer in the asymmetric unit, with a V(M) of 3.2 angstrom(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 61.7%.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of a novel ?-L-arabinofuranosidase (CtGH43) from Clostridium thermocellum ATCC 27405.

Project description:The truncated carbohydrate-active enzyme belonging to family 43 glycoside hydrolase from Clostridium thermocellum (CtGH43) is an ?-L-arabinofuranosidase that in combination with endoxylanase leads to complete breakdown of L-arabinosyl-substituted xylans. The recombinant enzyme CtGH43 from C. thermocellum was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified by immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography. The recombinant CtGH43 has a molecular mass of 35.86 kDa. Preliminary structural characterization was carried out on CtGH43 crystallized from different conditions, which gave either cube-shaped or brick-shaped crystals. These diffracted to a resolution of 1.65 Å for the cubic form and 1.1 Å for the monoclinic form. Molecular replacement was used to solve the CtGH43 structure.

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the phosphotriesterase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:Organophosphates (OPs) are extremely toxic compounds that are used as insecticides or even as chemical warfare agents. Phosphotriesterases (PHPs) are responsible for the detoxification of OPs by catalysing their degradation. Almost 100 PHP structures have been solved to date, yet the crystal structure of the phosphotriesterase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (mPHP) remains unavailable. This study reports the first crystallization of mPHP. The crystal belonged to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 68.03, b = 149.60, c = 74.23?Å, ? = ? = ? = 90°. An analytical ultracentrifugation experiment suggested that mPHP exists as a dimer in solution, even though one molecule is calculated to be present in the asymmetric unit according to the structural data.

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of shikimate dehydrogenase from Archaeoglobus fulgidus.

Project description:Shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH), which catalyses the NADPH-dependent reduction of 3-dehydroshikimate to shikimate in the shikimate pathway, is an attractive target for the development of herbicides and antimicrobial agents. Previous structural studies have shown that SDH exists in two conformations, an open and a closed form, and it is believed that the conformational state is crucial to understanding its catalytic mechanism. In order to facilitate further structural comparisons among SDHs, including the conformational state, structural analysis of an SDH from Archaeoglobus fulgidus encoded by the Af2327 gene has been initiated. SeMet-labelled SDH from A. fulgidus was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized at 296 K using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant in order to use the MAD method for structure determination. Crystals of A. fulgidus SDH grown in the presence of NADP(+) diffracted to 2.8 Å resolution and belonged to the trigonal space group P3(2)21 (or P3(2)21), with unit-cell parameters a = 111.3, b = 111.3, c = 76.2 Å. Three diffraction data sets were collected. The asymmetric unit contains two monomers, with a corresponding V(M) of 2.34 Å(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 47% by volume.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray characterization of the pentamodular arabinoxylanase CtXyl5A from Clostridium thermocellum.

Project description:The cellulosome, a highly elaborate extracellular multi-enzyme complex of cellulases and hemicellulases, is responsible for the degradation of plant cell walls. The xylanase CtXyl5A (Cthe_2193) is a multimodular arabinoxylanase which is one of the largest components of the Clostridium thermocellum cellulosome. The N-terminal catalytic domain of CtXyl5A, which is a member of glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5), is responsible for the hydrolysis of arabinoxylans. Appended after it are three noncatalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), which belong to families 6 (CBM6), 13 (CBM13) and 62 (CBM62). In addition, CtXyl5A has a fibronectin type III-like (Fn3) module preceding the CBM62 and a type I dockerin (DOK) module following it which allows the enzyme to be integrated into the cellulosome through binding to a cohesin module of the protein scaffold CipA. Crystals of the pentamodular enzyme without the DOK module at the C-terminus, with the domain architecture CtGH5-CBM6-CBM13-Fn3-CBM62, have been obtained. The structure of this pentamodular xylanase has been determined by molecular replacement to a resolution of 2.64?Å using coordinates of CtGH5-CBM6, Fn3 and CBM62 from the PDB as search models.

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the ectoine hydroxylase from Sphingopyxis alaskensis.

Project description:The ectoine hydroxylase (EctD) is a member of the non-haem-containing iron(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily. Its mononuclear iron centre is a prerequisite for the activity of this enzyme and promotes the O2-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate, which is coupled to a two-electron oxidation of the substrate ectoine to yield 5-hydroxyectoine. An expression and purification protocol for the EctD enzyme from Sphingopyxis alaskensis was developed and the protein was crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. This resulted in two different crystal forms, representing the apo and iron-bound forms of the enzyme.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin.

Project description:Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive anaerobic species of bacterium that is notable for its ability to produce a plethora of toxins, including membrane-active toxins (alpha-toxins), pore-forming toxins (-toxins) and binary toxins (iota-toxins). Here, the crystallization of the full-length wild-type C. perfringens enterotoxin is reported, which is the causative agent of the second most prevalent food-borne illness in the United States and has been implicated in many other gastrointestinal pathologies. Several crystal forms were obtained. However, only two of these optimized crystal forms (I and II) were useable for X-ray diffraction data collection. The form I crystals diffracted to d(min) = 2.7 A and belonged to space group C2, while the form II crystals diffracted to d(min) = 4 A and belonged to space group P2(1)3.

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of pyridoxal biosynthesis lyase PdxS from Pyrococcus horikoshii.

Project description:Pyridoxal biosynthesis lyase (PdxS) is an important player in the biosynthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the biologically active form of vitamin B(6). PLP is an important cofactor involved in the metabolic pathway of amine-containing natural products such as amino acids and amino sugars. PdxS catalyzes the condensation of ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) and ammonia, while glutamine amidotransferase (PdxT) catalyzes the production of ammonia from glutamine. PdxS and PdxT form a complex, PLP synthase, and widely exist in eubacteria, archaea, fungi and plants. To facilitate further structural comparisons among PdxS proteins, the structural analysis of PdxS from Pyrococcus horikoshii encoded by the Ph1355 gene was initiated. PdxS from P. horikoshii was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized at 296 K using 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol as a precipitant. Crystals of P. horikoshii PdxS diffracted to 2.61 Å resolution and belonged to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 59.30, b = 178.56, c = 109.23 Å, ? = 102.97°. The asymmetric unit contained six monomers, with a corresponding V(M) of 2.54 Å(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 51.5% by volume.

Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of release factor eRF1-1 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Peptide release factor 1 (RF1) regulates the termination of translation in protein synthesis by recognizing the stop codons. The eukaryotic RF1s (eRF1s) from Arabidopsis thaliana and human have different stop-codon preferences even though they share high sequence similarity. Based on known RF1 structures, it has been suggested that the specificity depends on both the local structure and the domain arrangement, but the lack of a structure of Arabidopsis eRF1 hinders a detailed comparison. To reveal the mechanism of stop-codon recognition and compare it with that of human eRF1, one of the three Arabidopsis eRF1s, AteRF1-1, was studied and a preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis is reported here. The protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized at room temperature using the vapour-diffusion method. Crystals were grown from 1.6 M lithium sulfate, 0.1 M Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 2%(v/v) PEG 400 and diffracted to 3.77 Å resolution. The data were processed in point group 622, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 136.6, c = 325.7 Å.
