Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the LRR domain of the LePRK1 receptor-like kinase from tomato.

ABSTRACT: LePRK1 is a receptor-like kinase involved in successful fertilization in Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato). Importantly, the extracellular leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain of LePRK1 mediates transmembrane signal transduction for pollen-tube growth and pollen germination. In this study, the N-terminal extracellular LRR domain of L. esculentum-derived LePRK1 was purified using an insect-cell secretion expression system and was crystallized by the vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted X-rays to a resolution of 2.75 Å using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 136.53, b = 56.01, c = 62.93 Å, ? = 108.99° and two molecules per asymmetric unit.

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.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the kinase domain of human tousled-like kinase 2.

Project description:Tousled-like kinases (TLKs) are an evolutionarily conserved family of serine/threonine protein kinases involved in chromatin dynamics, including DNA replication and repair, transcription and chromosome segregation. The two members of the family reported in humans, namely TLK1 and TLK2, localize to the cell nucleus and are capable of forming homo- or hetero-oligomers by themselves. To characterize the role of TLK2, its C-terminal kinase domain was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli followed by purification to homogeneity. Crystallization experiments in the presence of ATP-?-S yielded crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis belonging to two different space groups: tetragonal I4122 and cubic P213. The latter produced the best diffracting crystal (3.4?Å resolution using synchrotron radiation), with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 126.05?Å, ? = ? = ? = 90°. The asymmetric unit contained one protein molecule, with a Matthews coefficient of 4.59?Å(3)?Da(-1) and a solvent content of 73.23%.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of recombinant human fumarase.

Project description:Human fumarase (HsFH) is a well-known citric acid cycle enzyme and is therefore a key component in energy metabolism. Genetic studies on human patients have shown that polymorphisms in the fumarase gene are responsible for diseases such as hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer. As a first step in unravelling the molecular basis of the mechanism of fumarase deficiency in genetic disorders, the HsFH gene was cloned in pET-28a, heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, purified by nickel-affinity chromatography and crystallized using the vapour-diffusion technique. X-ray diffraction experiments were performed at a synchrotron source and the structure was solved at 2.1?Å resolution by molecular replacement.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of N-acetylmannosamine kinase from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Project description:N-Acetylmannosamine kinase (EC 2.7.1.60) is involved in the catabolism of sialic acid for many bacterial pathogens implicated in human disease such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae and V. vulnificus. Interestingly, some human commensals and bacterial pathogens can scavenge sialic acids from their surrounding environment and degrade them as a source of carbon, nitrogen and energy. This process requires a cluster of genes known as the `Nan-Nag cluster', which have proven to be essential for S. aureus growth on sialic acids, suggesting that the pathway is a viable antimicrobial drug target. The enzyme N-acetylmannosamine kinase is involved in the catabolism of sialic acid, transferring a phosphate group from adenosine-5'-triphosphate to the C6 position of N-acetylmannosamine to generate N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate. The gene was cloned into an appropriate expression vector; recombinant protein was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells and purified via anion-exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography. Purified N-acetylmannosamine kinase was screened for crystallization. The best crystal diffracted to a resolution of beyond 2.6 Å in space group P2. Understanding the structural nature of this enzyme from methicillin-resistant S. aureus will provide insights necessary for the development of future antimicrobials.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the regulatory domain of aspartokinase (Rv3709c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:The regulatory domain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis aspartokinase (Mtb-AK, Mtb-Ask, Rv3709c) has been cloned, heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and purified using standard chromatographic techniques. Screening for initial crystallization conditions using the regulatory domain (AK-?) in the presence of the potential feedback inhibitor threonine identified four conditions which yielded crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis. From these four conditions five different crystal forms of Mtb-AK-? resulted, three of which belonged to the orthorhombic system, one to the tetragonal system and one to the monoclinic system. The highest resolution (1.6?Å) was observed for a crystal form belonging to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=53.70, b=63.43, c=108.85?Å and two molecules per asymmetric unit.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of an ASCH domain-containing protein from Zymomonas mobilis ZM4.

Project description:The human activating signal cointegrator 1 (ASC-1) homology (ASCH) domain is frequently observed in many organisms, although its function has not yet been clearly defined. In Zymomonas mobilis ZM4, the ZMO0922 gene encodes a polypeptide that includes an ASCH domain (zmASCH). To provide a better structural background for the probable role of ASCH domain-containing proteins, the ZMO0922 gene was cloned and expressed. The purified protein was crystallized from 30%(w/v) polyethylene glycol 400, 0.1 M cacodylic acid pH 6.5 and 0.2 M lithium sulfate. Diffraction data were collected to 2.1 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystal belonged to the primitive trigonal space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a=b=51.67, c=207.30 Å, α=β=90, γ=120°. Assuming the presence of one molecule in the asymmetric unit gave a Matthews coefficient of 4.69 Å(3) Da(-1), corresponding to a solvent content of 73.7%.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction data of the Pyrococcus horikoshii RadA intein.

Project description:The RadA intein from the hyperthermophilic archaebacterium Pyrococcus horikoshii was cloned, expressed and purified for subsequent structure determination. The protein crystallized rapidly in several conditions. The best crystals, which diffracted to 1.75 Å resolution, were harvested from drops consisting of 0.1 M HEPES pH 7.5, 3.0 M NaCl and were cryoprotected with Paratone-N before flash-cooling. The collected data were processed in the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 58.1, b = 67.4, c = 82.9 Å. Molecular replacement with Rosetta using energy- and density-guided structure optimization provided the initial solution, which is currently under refinement.
