Complex assembly, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the chicken CD8??-BF2*0401 complex.

ABSTRACT: In the process of antigen presentation, the MHCI-CD8 complex is important for immune signal transduction by the activation of cytotoxic T cells. Here, the expression, purification, crystallization and X-ray analysis of the complex of the chicken MHC class I molecule BF2*0401 and CD8?? (CD8??-BF2*0401) are reported. This complex was verified by SDS-PAGE analysis of a CD8??-BF2*0401 crystal, which showed three bands corresponding to the molecular weights of BF2*0401, ?2-microglobulin and CD8?, respectively. The crystal of CD8??-BF2*0401 diffracted to 2.8?Å resolution and belonged to space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a = 90.6, b = 90.8, c = 94.9?Å, ? = 98°. The Matthews coefficient and solvent content were calculated to be 2.88?Å(3)?Da(-1) and ?57.3%, respectively.

Complex assembly, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the chicken MHC class I molecule BF2*1501.

Project description:The chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules named BF are strongly associated with Marek's disease (MD). A single structure, that of chicken BF2*2101 from the B21 haplotype, which might provide resistance to MD, has been determined. However, little is known about other structures apart from BF2*2101. In order to provide further structures of chicken MHC class I molecules, BF2*1501 and chicken ?(2)-microglobulin complexed with a nonapeptide (MDV-MEQ(RRR9)) derived from Marek's disease virus MEQ protein (MDV EcoRI Q fragment, residues 72-80) were assembled and crystallized. Diffraction data from the crystal were collected to 2.6 Å resolution; the crystal belonged to space group P3(1)21, with unit-cell parameters a = 125.1, b = 125.1, c = 80.9 Å and two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The Matthews coefficient V(M) was 2.08 Å(3) Da(-1), with a calculated solvent content of 40.78%. These data will be helpful in obtaining insight into the structural basis of the involvement of BF2*1501 in MD.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of swine CD8?.

Project description:CD8?? homodimers or CD8?? heterodimers form on the T-cell surface, where they are essential as co-receptors for MHC class I molecules in activation of the CTL response. To date, swine have been found to show the highest percentage of lymphocytes with surface expression of CD8?. Crystallographic analysis of swine CD8? (sCD8?) to 1.8?Å resolution revealed that the crystals belonged to space group P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = 80.97, b = 80.97, c = 95.19?Å. The Matthews coefficient and the solvent content were calculated to be 3.23?Å(3)?Da(-1) and 61.89%, respectively. These results may aid further structural and functional analyses of sCD8?.

Complex assembly, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of duck MHC class I molecule.

Project description:In order to understand the biological properties of the immune systems of waterfowl and to establish a system for structural studies of duck class I major histocompatibility complex (DuMHC I), a complex of DuMHC I with duck beta(2)-microglobulin (Dubeta(2)m) and the peptide AEIEDLIF (AF8) derived from H5N1 NP residues 251-258 was assembled. The complex was crystallized; the crystals belonged to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 54.7, b = 72.4, c = 102.2 A, and diffracted to 2.3 A resolution. Matthews coefficient calculation and initial structure determination by molecular replacement showed that the crystals did not contain the whole DuMHC I complex, but instead contained the DuMHC I alpha3 domain and a Dubeta2m molecule (DuMHC I alpha3+beta2m). Another complex of DuMHC I with the peptide IDWFDGKE derived from a chicken fusion protein also generated the same results. The stable structure of DuMHC I alpha3+beta2m may reflect some unique characteristics of DuMHC I and pave the way for novel MHC structure-related studies in the future.

Complex assembly, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the bovine CD8αα-BoLA-2*02201 complex.

Project description:In order to clarify the structural characteristics of the bovine MHC class I molecule (BoLA-I) complexed with CD8αα (CD8αα-BoLA-I), bovine CD8αα, BoLA-I (BoLA-2*02201) and β2m were expressed and purified, and were then assembled with a peptide derived from Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV-VP1YY9) and crystallized. The crystal diffracted to 1.7 Å resolution and belonged to space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a=53.9, b=103.8, c=61.8 Å, α=γ=90, β=96°. The asymmetric unit contained one complex, with a Matthews coefficient of 2.41 Å3 Da(-1) and a solvent content of 48.9%. The rotation-function Z-score and translation-function Z-score for molecular replacement were 3.4 and 8.9, respectively. In addition, SDS-PAGE analysis of CD8αα-BoLA-I crystals showed three bands corresponding to the molecular weights of BoLA-I heavy chain, β2m and CD8α. The structure of the CD8αα-BoLA-I complex should be helpful in obtaining insight into the interaction between bovine CD8αα and MHC class I molecules. Structure determination of BoLA-2*02201-FMDV-VP1YY9 will be useful in the design of vaccines for foot-and-mouth disease.

Complex assembly, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the human Rod-Zwilch-ZW10 (RZZ) complex.

Project description:The spindle-assembly checkpoint (SAC) monitors kinetochore-microtubule attachment during mitosis. In metazoans, the three-subunit Rod-Zwilch-ZW10 (RZZ) complex is a crucial SAC component that interacts with additional SAC-activating and SAC-silencing components, including the Mad1-Mad2 complex and cytoplasmic dynein. The RZZ complex contains two copies of each subunit and has a predicted molecular mass of ∼800 kDa. Given the low abundance of the RZZ complex in natural sources, its recombinant reconstitution was attempted by co-expression of its subunits in insect cells. The RZZ complex was purified to homogeneity and subjected to systematic crystallization attempts. Initial crystals containing the entire RZZ complex were obtained using the sitting-drop method and were subjected to optimization to improve the diffraction resolution limit. The crystals belonged to space group P3₁ (No. 144) or P3₂ (No. 145), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 215.45, c = 458.7 Å, α = β = 90.0, γ = 120.0°.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of transglutaminase 2 in complex with Ca2+.

Project description:Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a multi-functional protein that has been implicated in a variety of physiological cellular activities, including apoptosis, angiogenesis and cellular differentiation. Two functions of TG2 are protein cross-linking and GTP hydrolysis activities. The protein cross-linking activity of TG2 is positively controlled by calcium; however, the molecular mechanism of its Ca(2+)-dependent activity is completely unknown. In the present study, full-length human TG2 in complex with Ca(2+) was overexpressed, purified and crystallized at 20°C as a first step towards elucidating this mechanism. X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 3.4 Å from a crystal belonging to space group C2221, with unit-cell parameters a = 133.08, b = 216.30, c = 166.26 Å. Based on these data, the asymmetric unit was estimated to contain three molecules.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of human autotaxin.

Project description:Autotaxin (ATX), which is also known as ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (NPP2 or ENPP2) or phosphodiesterase Iα (PD-Iα), is an extracellular lysophospholipase D which generates lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). ATX stimulates tumour-cell migration, angiogenesis and metastasis and is an attractive target for cancer therapy. For crystallographic studies, the α isoform of human ATX was overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 3.0 Å resolution from a monoclinic crystal form belonging to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 311.4, b = 147.9, c = 176.9 Å, β = 122.6°.

Characterization, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the human Uba5 C-terminus-Ufc1 complex.

Project description:Human Uba5, which contains an adenylation domain and a C-terminal region, is the smallest ubiquitin-like molecule-activating enzyme. The mechanism through which the enzyme recognizes Ufc1 and catalyzes the formation of the Ufc1-Ufm1 complex remains unknown. In this study, Uba5 residues 364-404 were demonstrated to be necessary for the transthiolation of Ufm1 to Ufc1, and Uba5 381-404 was identified to be the minimal region for Ufc1 recognition. The fusion protein between Uba5 381-404 and Ufc1 was cloned, expressed and purified, and exists as a homodimer in solution. Crystallization was performed at 293?K using PEG 4000 as precipitant; the optimized crystals diffracted to 3.0?Å resolution and had unit-cell parameters a = b = 82.49, c = 62.47?Å, ? = ? = 90, ? = 120°. With one fusion-protein molecule in the asymmetric unit, the Matthews coefficient and solvent content were calculated to be 2.55?Å(3)?Da(-1) and 51.84%, respectively.
