The coiled-coil domain of glycosomal membrane-associated Leishmania donovani PEX14: cloning, overexpression, purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis.

ABSTRACT: The glycosomal membrane-associated Leishmania donovani protein PEX14, which plays a crucial role in protein import from the cytosol to the glycosomal matrix, consists of three domains: an N-terminal domain where the signalling molecule binds, a transmembrane domain and an 84-residue coiled-coil domain (CC) that is responsible for oligomerization. CCs are versatile domains that participate in a variety of functions including supramolecular assembly, cellular signalling and transport. Recombinant PEX14 CC was cloned, overexpressed, affinity-purified with in-column thrombin cleavage and further purified by size-exclusion chromatography. Crystals that diffracted to 1.98 Å resolution were obtained from a condition consisting of 1.4 M sodium citrate tribasic dihydrate, 0.1 M HEPES buffer pH 7.5. The crystals belonged to the monoclinic space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 143.98, b = 32.62, c = 95.62 Å, β = 94.68°. Structure determination and characterization are in progress.

Cloning, overexpression, purification and crystallization of the CRN12 coiled-coil domain from Leishmania donovani.

Project description:Leishmania donovani coronin CRN12 is an actin-binding protein which consists of two domains: an N-terminal WD repeat domain and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain. The coiled-coil domain is 53 residues in length. Helix-helix interactions in general and coiled coils in particular are ubiquitous in the structure of proteins and play a significant role in the association among proteins, including supramolecular assemblies and transmembrane receptors that mediate cellular signalling, transport and actin dynamics. The L. donovani coronin CRN12 coiled-coil domain (5.8?kDa) was cloned, overexpressed, purified to homogeneity and the N-terminal 6×His tag was successfully removed by thrombin cleavage. Crystals of recombinant L. donovani coronin CRN12 coiled-coil domain were grown by vapour diffusion using a hanging-drop setup. Diffraction-quality crystals were obtained and data extending to 2.46?Å resolution were collected at 100?K on BM14, ESRF, Grenoble, France. The crystal belonged to the monoclinic space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 118.0, b = 50.6, c = 46.0?Å, ? = 111.0°. Matthews coefficient (VM) calculations suggested the presence of 4-6 molecules in the asymmetric unit, corresponding to a solvent content of ?33-55%, and are consistent with self-rotation function calculations.

Ribokinase from Leishmania donovani: purification, characterization and X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Project description:Leishmania is an auxotrophic protozoan parasite which acquires D-ribose by transporting it from the host cell and also by the hydrolysis of nucleosides. The enzyme ribokinase (RK) catalyzes the first step of ribose metabolism by phosphorylating D-ribose using ATP to produce D-ribose-5-phosphate. To understand its structure and function, the gene encoding RK from L. donovani was cloned, expressed and purified using affinity and size-exclusion chromatography. Circular-dichroism spectroscopy of the purified protein showed comparatively more ?-helix in the secondary-structure content, and thermal unfolding revealed the Tm to be 317.2?K. Kinetic parameters were obtained by functional characterization of L. donovani RK, and the Km values for ribose and ATP were found to be 296 ± 36 and 116 ± 9.0?µM, respectively. Crystals obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method diffracted to 1.95?Å resolution and belonged to the hexagonal space group P61, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 100.25, c = 126.77?Å. Analysis of the crystal content indicated the presence of two protomers in the asymmetric unit, with a Matthews coefficient (VM) of 2.45?Å3?Da-1 and 49.8% solvent content. Further study revealed that human counterpart of this protein could be used as a template to determine the first three-dimensional structure of the RK from trypanosomatid parasites.

Cloning, purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis of cobalamin methyltransferases from Rhodobacter capsulatus.

Project description:Of the 30 biosynthetic steps necessary for the production of cobalamin (vitamin B12), eight involve the addition of S-adenosylmethionine-derived methyl groups to the tetrapyrrole framework. These eight methyl additions are catalysed by six canonical methyltransferase domains and one noncanonical methyltransferase domain. Recombinant forms of four methyltransferases from Rhodobacter capsulatus, CobJ, CobM, CobF and CobL, and of the C-terminal noncanonical domain of CobL (CobL-C) have been crystallized, some in more than one crystal form. Most of the crystals diffracted to beyond 2.5?Å resolution and all are suitable for structure determination. Crystals of CobM and CobJ, which are involved in ring contraction, and of CobL, which is involved in two methylations and decarboxylation, are reported for the first time.

Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of LsrR from Escherichia coli.

Project description:In Escherichia coli, the lsr operon is composed of six genes lsrACDBFG which regulate uptake and modification of the signalling molecule AI-2. LsrR is a repressor of the lsr operon and itself, which can bind phospho-AI-2 and be released from the promoter region of the operon and thus activate gene expression. LsrR fused with an HHHHHH sequence at the C-terminus was expressed, purified and crystallized in order to determine its structure and elucidate the molecular mechanism of repression. The crystal belonged to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a=79.84, b=116.65, c=186.04 A, and was estimated to contain two protein molecules per asymmetric unit.

Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of NifH1 from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii.

Project description:Nitrogen fixation is catalyzed by the nitrogenase complex in Azotobacter, which is composed of dinitrogenase and dinitrogenase reductase. Dinitrogenase is an ?(2)?(2) heterotetramer of the proteins NifD and NifK. Dinitrogenase reductase is a homodimer of the protein NifH. The expression of NifD/K and NifH nitrogenase homologues (named NflD/K and NflH for Nif-like D and H, respectively) has been detected in the non-nitrogen-fixing hyperthermophilic methanogen Methanocaldococcus jannaschii. Solving the structure of MjNifH1 may help in better understanding its function and may supply some clues to understanding the evolution of nitrogenase. The full-length protein with an additional His(6) tag at the C-terminus was expressed, purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 287 K. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected to a resolution of 3.3 Å. The crystal belonged to space group P4(1)32, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 139.45 Å, and was estimated to contain one protein molecule per asymmetric unit.

Cloning, purification and preliminary crystallographic studies of the 2AB protein from hepatitis A virus.

Project description:The Picornaviridae family contains a large number of human pathogens such as rhinovirus, poliovirus and hepatitis A virus (HAV). Hepatitis A is an infectious disease that causes liver inflammation. It is highly endemic in developing countries with poor sanitation, where infections often occur in children. As in other picornaviruses, the genome of HAV contains one open reading frame encoding a single polyprotein that is subsequently processed by viral proteinases to originate mature viral proteins during and after the translation process. In the polyprotein, the N-terminal P1 region generates the four capsid proteins, while the C-terminal P2 and P3 regions contain the enzymes, precursors and accessory proteins essential for polyprotein processing and virus replication. Here, the first crystals of protein 2AB of HAV are reported. The crystals belonged to space group P4(1) or P4(3), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 90.42, c = 73.43 Å, and contained two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Native and selenomethionine-derivative crystals diffracted to 2.7 and 3.2 Å resolution, respectively.

Cloning, purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the Helicobacter pylori leucyl aminopeptidase-bestatin complex.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori is an important human pathogenic bacterium associated with numerous severe gastroduodenal diseases, including ulcers and gastric cancer. Cytosolic leucyl aminopeptidase (LAP) is an important housekeeping protein that is involved in peptide and protein turnover, catabolism of proteins and modulation of gene expression. LAP is upregulated in metronidazole-resistant H. pylori, which suggests that, in addition to having an important housekeeping role, LAP contributes to the mechanism of drug resistance. Crystals of H. pylori LAP have been grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol as a precipitating agent. The crystals belonged to the primitive triclinic space group P1, with unit-cell parameters a = 97.5, b = 100.2, c = 100.4?Å, ? = 75.4, ? = 60.9, ? = 81.8°. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected to 2.8?Å resolution from a single crystal. Molecular-replacement results using these data indicate that H. pylori LAP is a hexamer with 32 symmetry.
