Crystals of 1,5-α-arabinanase A from Pseudomonas fluorescens subspecies cellulosa have been obtained by vapour diffusion. The crystals belong to the space group P6122 with unit-cell parameters a = b = 91.6, c = 179.4 Å with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The native crystals and, to a much greater extent, heavy-atom soaked crystals are sensitive to radiation which necessitates cryocooling. Suitable cryocooling conditions have been established, though a shrinkage of the unit cell is observed, with a = b = 88.8 and c = 176.9 Å.

Phytases are phosphatases that hydrolyze phytates to less phosphorylatedmyo-inositol derivatives and inorganic phosphate. β-Propeller phytases, which are very diverse phytases with improved thermostability that are active at neutral and alkaline pH and have absolute substrate specificity, are ideal substitutes for other commercial phytases. PhyH-DI, a β-propeller phytase fromBacillussp. HJB17, was found to act synergistically with other single-domain phytases and can increase their efficiency in the hydrolysis of phytate. Crystals of native and selenomethionine-substituted PhyH-DI were obtained using the vapour-diffusion method in a condition consisting of 0.2 Msodium chloride, 0.1 MTris pH 8.5, 25%(w/v) PEG 3350 at 289 K. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 3.00 and 2.70 Å resolution, respectively, at 100 K. Native PhyH-DI crystals belonged to space groupC121, with unit-cell parametersa = 156.84,b = 45.54,c = 97.64 Å, α = 90.00, β = 125.86, γ = 90.00°. The asymmetric unit contained two molecules of PhyH-DI, with a corresponding Matthews coefficient of 2.17 Å3 Da−1and a solvent content of 43.26%. Crystals of selenomethionine-substituted PhyH-DI belonged to space groupC2221, with unit-cell parametersa = 94.71,b= 97.03,c= 69.16 Å, α = β = γ = 90.00°. The asymmetric unit contained one molecule of the protein, with a corresponding Matthews coefficient of 2.44 Å3 Da−1and a solvent content of 49.64%. Initial phases for PhyH-DI were obtained from SeMet SAD data sets. These data will be useful for further studies of the structure–function relationship of PhyH-DI.

The protein 26S proteasome regulatory subunit p27 is one of the four chaperones that help in the assembly of the 19S regulatory particle (RP) of the 26S proteasome. In the present work, the N-terminus of p27 (residues 1–128) fromMus musculuswas cloned, expressed, purified and crystallized alone and in complex with the C-terminal ATPase domain of Rpt5 (residues 173–442). The crystals of p27(1–128)diffracted to 1.7 Å resolution and belonged to space groupP212121, with unit-cell parametersa= 26.79,b= 30.39,c= 145.06 Å. Resolution-dependent Matthews coefficient probability analysis suggested the presence of only one molecule per asymmetric unit, with 40.5% solvent content and aVMvalue of 2.02 Å3 Da−1. The crystal of the p27(1–128)–Rpt5(173–442)complex diffracted to 4 Å resolution and belonged to space groupP222, with unit-cell parametersa= 75.93,b= 76.08,c= 336.85 Å. The presence of four heterodimers in the asymmetric unit with 53.2% solvent content and aVMvalue of 2.63 Å3 Da−1or five heterodimers in the asymmetric unit with 41.5% solvent content and aVMvalue of 2.10 Å3 Da−1is assumed.

The catabolite control protein (CcpA) from Bacillus megaterium is a member of the bacterial repressor protein family GalR/LacI. CcpA with an N-terminal His-tag was used for crystallization. Crystals of free CcpA and of CcpA in complex with the putative operator sequence (catabolite responsive elements, CRE) were obtained by vapour-diffusion techniques at 291 K using the hanging-drop method. CcpA crystals grown in the presence of polyethylene glycol 8000 belong to the hexagonal space group P6122 or P6522, with unit-cell parameters a = 74.4, c = 238.8 Å. These crystals diffract X-rays to 2.55 Å resolution and contain one monomer of the homodimeric protein per asymmetric unit. Crystals of the CcpA–CRE complex were obtained with ammonium sulfate as precipitant and belong to the tetragonal space group I4122, with unit-cell parameters a = 125, c = 400 Å and one complex per asymmetric unit. Although these co-crystals grew to a sufficient size, X-ray diffraction was limited to 8 Å resolution.

Hydroxynitrile lyase from M. esculenta (cassava) was crystallized in two different crystal forms by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Crystals of form I were obtained from a mixture of polyethylene glycol 8000 and 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, and belong to the tetragonal space group P41212 or its enantiomorph P43212, with unit-cell parameters a  =  b  =  105.9, c  =  188.9 Å and with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. These crystals diffract to 2.9 Å with conventional X-ray sources and beyond 2.1 Å resolution with synchrotron radiation. The crystals are relatively sensitive to radiation damage and conditions for flash-cooling the crystals have been established. A complete native data set has been collected up to 2.2 Å resolution. Crystal form II has been obtained at pH 5.6 using lithium sulfate as a precipitant. The crystals apparently belong to the orthorhombic space group P21212, with unit-cell parameters a = 117.52, b = 127.09 and c = 78.08 Å, have two molecules in the asymmetric unit and diffract to beyond 2.0 Å resolution. A complete native data set has been collected to 2.2 Å resolution.

Crystals of the molbindin ModG (subunit Mr = 14359 Da), a cytoplasmic molybdate-binding protein from Azotobacter vinelandii, were grown by vapour diffusion. Both apo and tungstate-bound forms were crystallized and X-ray data were collected at 100 K. Apo-ModG crystallizes in space group P6322, with unit-cell dimensions a = b = 90.62, c = 79.46 Å. Native data to a resolution of 2.5 Å were collected from a single crystal, which showed a marked improvement in diffraction quality after annealing. Data from a single-site gold derivative were also collected at 2.7 Å resolution. Crystals of the ligand-bound form of ModG belong to space group P321, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 50.57, c = 79.29 Å. X-ray data to a resolution of 2.0 Å were collected.

Two crystal forms of Klebsiella oxytoca diol dehydratase complexed with cyanocobalamin have been obtained and preliminary crystallographic experiments have been performed. The crystals belong to two different space groups, depending on the crystallization conditions. One crystal (form I) belongs to space group P212121 with unit-cell parameters a = 76.2, b = 122.3, c = 209.6 Å, and diffracts to 2.2 Å resolution using an X-ray beam from a synchrotron radiation source. The other crystal (form II) belongs to space group P21 with unit-cell parameters a = 75.4, b = 132.7, c = 298.8 Å, β = 91.9°, and diffracts to 3.0 Å resolution. For the purpose of structure determination, a heavy-atom derivative search was carried out and some mercuric derivatives were found to be promising. Structure analysis by the multiple isomorphous replacement method is now under way.
