Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of a ferredoxin/flavodoxin-NADP(H) oxidoreductase (Bc0385) from Bacillus cereus.

ABSTRACT: Ferredoxin/flavodoxin-NADP(H) oxidoreductases (FNRs) are key enzymes involved in catalysing electron transfer between ferredoxins/flavodoxins and NAD(P)H/NAD(P)+. In Bacillus cereus there are three genes that may encode FNRs, and the Bc0385 FNR has been cloned, overexpressed, purified and successfully crystallized in its NADPH/NADP+-free form. Diffraction data have been collected to 2.5?Å resolution from crystals belonging to the orthorhombic space group P2?2?2, with unit-cell parameters a=57.2, b=164.3, c=95.0?Å, containing two FNR molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure of the Bc0385 FNR has been solved by molecular replacement, and is a member of the homodimeric thioredoxin reductase-like class of FNRs.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase from Aspergillus niger.

Project description:Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) catalyzes the NAD-dependent or NADP-dependent oxidative deamination of L-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate and ammonia. This important reversible reaction establishes the link between carbon and nitrogen metabolism. In this study, Aspergillus niger NADP-GDH (AnGDH) has been overexpressed and purified. Purified AnGDH, with a high specific activity of 631.1 units per milligram of protein, was crystallized and the crystal diffracted to 2.9?Å resolution using a home X-ray source. Preliminary analysis of the X-ray diffraction data showed that the crystal belonged to space group R32, with unit-cell parameters a=b=173.8, c=241.5?Å, ?=?=90, ?=120°. The crystals exhibited an unusually high solvent content (83.0%) and had only one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Initial phases were obtained by molecular replacement, and model building and structure refinement of AnGDH are in progress.

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.

Docking analysis of transient complexes: interaction of ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase with ferredoxin and flavodoxin.

Project description:Ferredoxin (Fd) interacts with ferredoxin-NADP(+) reductase (FNR) to transfer two electrons to the latter, one by one, which will finally be used to reduce NADP(+) to NADPH. The formation of a transient complex between Fd and FNR is required for the electron transfer (ET), and extensive mutational and crystallographic studies have been reported to characterize such protein-protein interaction. However, some aspects of the association mechanism still remain unclear. Moreover, in spite of their structural differences, flavodoxin (Fld) can replace Fd in its function and interact with FNR to transfer electrons with only slightly lower efficiency. Although crystallographic structures for the FNR:Fd association have been reported, experimental structural data for the FNR:Fld interaction are highly elusive. We have modeled here the interactions between FNR and both of its protein partners, Fd and Fld, using surface energy analysis, computational rigid-body docking simulations, and interface side-chain refinement. The results, consistent with previous experimental data, suggest the existence of alternative binding modes in these ET proteins.

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.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of glyoxalase I from Leishmania infantum.

Project description:Glyoxalase I (GLO1) is the first of the two glyoxalase-pathway enzymes. It catalyzes the formation of S-D-lactoyltrypanothione from the non-enzymatically formed hemithioacetal of methylglyoxal and reduced trypanothione. In order to understand its substrate binding and catalytic mechanism, GLO1 from Leishmania infantum was cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized. Two crystal forms were obtained: a cube-shaped form and a rod-shaped form. While the cube-shaped form did not diffract X-rays at all, the rod-shaped form exhibited diffraction to about 2.0 A resolution. The crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 130.03, b = 148.51, c = 50.63 A and three dimers of the enzyme per asymmetric unit.

Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of Escherichia coli PapD-like protein (EcpD).

Project description:Many Gram-negative bacteria are characterized by hair-like proteinaceous appendages on their surface known as fimbriae. In uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, fimbriae mediate attachment by binding to receptors on the host cell, often contributing to virulence and disease. E. coli PapD-like protein (EcpD) is a periplasmic chaperone that plays an important role in the proper folding and guiding of Yad fimbrial proteins to the outer membrane usher protein in a process known as pilus biogenesis. EcpD is essential for pilus biogenesis in uropathogenic E. coli and plays an important role in virulence. In the present study, EcpD was cloned, overexpressed, purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted to 1.67 Å resolution and belonged to the orthorhombic space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 100.3, b = 127.6, c = 45.9 Å. There was a single molecule in the asymmetric unit and the corresponding Matthews coefficient was calculated to be 3.02 Å(3) Da(-1), with 59% solvent content. Initial phases were determined by molecular replacement.

Ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase association with phycocyanin modulates its properties.

Project description:In photosynthetic organisms, ferredoxin:NADP(+) oxidoreductase (FNR) is known to provide NADPH for CO(2) assimilation, but it also utilizes NADPH to provide reduced ferredoxin. The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 produces two FNR isoforms, a small one (FNR(S)) similar to the one found in plant plastids and a large one (FNR(L)) that is associated with the phycobilisome, a light-harvesting complex. Here we show that a mutant lacking FNR(L) exhibits a higher NADP(+)/NADPH ratio. We also purified to homogeneity a phycobilisome subcomplex comprising FNR(L,) named FNR(L)-PC. The enzymatic activities of FNR(L)-PC were compared with those of FNR(S). During NADPH oxidation, FNR(L)-PC exhibits a 30% decrease in the Michaelis constant K(m)((NADPH)), and a 70% increase in K(m)((ferredoxin)), which is in agreement with its predicted lower activity of ferredoxin reduction. During NADP(+) reduction, the FNR(L)-PC shows a 29/43% decrease in the rate of single electron transfer from reduced ferredoxin in the presence/absence of NADP(+). The increase in K(m)((ferredoxin)) and the rate decrease of single reduction are attributed to steric hindrance by the phycocyanin moiety of FNR(L)-PC. Both isoforms are capable of catalyzing the NADP(+) reduction under multiple turnover conditions. Furthermore, we obtained evidence that, under high ionic strength conditions, electron transfer from reduced ferredoxin is rate limiting during this process. The differences that we observe might not fully explain the in vivo properties of the Synechocystis mutants expressing only one of the isoforms. Therefore, we advocate that FNR localization and/or substrates availability are essential in vivo.
