Crystallization and crystallographic studies of kallistatin.

ABSTRACT: Kallistatin is a serine protease inhibitor (serpin) which specifically inhibits human tissue kallikrein; however, its inhibitory activity is inhibited by heparin. In order to elucidate the underlying mechanism, recombinant human kallistatin was prepared in Escherichia coli and the protein was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.9?Å resolution. The crystals were found to belong to space group P61, with unit-cell parameters a = 113.51, b = 113.51, c = 76.17?Å. Initial analysis indicated that the crystallized kallistatin was in a relaxed conformation, with its reactive-centre loop inserted in the central ?-sheet.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of Helicobacter pylori arginase.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori arginase is an important factor in evasion of the host's immune system and contributes to persistent infection by this bacterium. It is unique in many aspects compared with other arginases: for example, it has optimal activity with Co(2+) as a cofactor rather than Mn(2+) and has strongest activity at acidic pH instead of alkaline pH. In this study, H. pylori arginase was purified and crystallized in complex with Mn(2+) and a diffraction data set was collected to 2.2 Å resolution. The crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 94.69, b = 102.24, c = 148.61 Å.

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?.

Crystallization and crystallographic studies of a novel chickpea 11S globulin.

Project description:Chickpea is a crop that is known as a source of high-quality proteins. CL-AI, which belongs to the 11S globulin and cupin superfamily, was initially identified in chickpea seeds. CL-AI has recently been shown to inhibit various types of α-amylases. To determine its molecular mechanism, the crystal structure of CL-AI was solved at a final resolution of 2.2 Å. Structural analysis indicated that each asymmetric unit contains three molecules with threefold symmetry and a head-to-tail association, and each molecule is divided into an α-chain and a β-chain. CL-AI has high structural similarity to other 11S globulins and canonical metal-dependent enzyme-related cupin proteins, whereas its stimilarity to α-amylase inhibitor from Phaseolus vulgaris is quite low. The structure presented here will provide insight into the function of CL-AI.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of DnaJ from Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Project description:DnaJ, cooperating with DnaK and GrpE, promotes the folding of unfolded hydrophobic polypeptides, dissociates protein complexes and translocates protein across membranes. Additionally, DnaJ from Streptococcus pneumoniae (SpDnaJ) is involved in the infectious disease process and is being developed as a potential vaccine to prevent bacterial infection.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of Rhagium inquisitor antifreeze protein.

Project description:Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are a specialized evolutionary adaptation of a variety of bacteria, fish, arthropods and other organisms to inhibit ice-crystal growth for survival in harsh subzero environments. The recently reported novel hyperactive AFP from Rhagium inquisitor (RiAFP) is the second distinct type of AFP in beetles and its structure could reveal important molecular insights into the evolution of AFPs. For this purpose, RiAFP was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized at 293?K using a combination of 23% PEG 3350 and 0.2?M ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.3?Å resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. The crystals belonged to the trigonal space group P3(1)21 (or P3(2)21), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 46.46, c = 193.21?Å.
