Thermoproteus Tenax

Recombinant non-phosphorylating NAD+-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPN) of the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeote Thermoproteus tenax has been overexpressed, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique. Crystals of different habits were obtained from several precipitant solutions (salts and polyethylene glycols). Preliminary X-ray analysis was performed with crystals grown in ammonium formate, which belonged to the primitive hexagonal space group P622, and had unit-cell parameters a = b = 184.8, c = 133.0 Å, γ = 120°. Assuming a molecular weight of 55 kDa, a Matthews parameter of 3.3 Å3 Da−1 is calculated assuming two molecules per asymmetric unit. The diffraction limit of these crystals is 2.5 Å resolution.

Bacillus subtilisYwfE, an L-amino-acid ligase, catalyzes the formation of an α-dipeptide from L-amino acids in an ATP-dependent manner. In order to elucidate the substrate-recognition mode and the reaction mechanism of this ligase, native and selenomethionine-derivatized (SeMet) crystals of YwfE in the presence of ADP, MgCl2and the dipeptide L-Ala-L-Gln were obtained using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. These crystals diffracted to 1.9 and 2.8 Å resolution, respectively. Preliminary SAD phase calculations using the data set from the SeMet crystal suggested that the crystal belonged to the hexagonal space groupP6522, with unit-cell parametersa=b= 90.85,c = 250.31 Å, and contained one molecule in the asymmetric unit with a solvent content of 57.3%.

Haloalkane hydrolytic dehalogenase LinB from Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26, an enzyme which releases chloride or bromide anion from n-halogenated alkanes and has a broad range of substrate specificity, was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 278 K. The best crystals were obtained by microseeding with a precipitant containing 18–20%(w/v) PEG 6000, 0.2 M calcium acetate and 0.1 M Tris–HCl pH 8.9. The crystals diffract to at least 1.60 Å using synchrotron X-ray under cryogenic (100 K) conditions. They belong to the orthorhombic space group P21212 with unit-cell parameters a = 50.29, b = 71.70, c = 72.73 Å. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of the enzyme.

Domain Of Unknown Function

The Os01T0156300 protein fromOryza sativahas been classified into the domain of unknown function (DUF) family DUF1110. DUF1110 family members exist in monocotyledons but not in dicotyledons, and share no sequence identity with proteins for which structures have been reported. In this study, the Os01T0156300 protein was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.84 Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space groupP21, with unit-cell parametersa= 89.9,b= 89.8,c= 107.1 Å, β = 106.6°. The asymmetric unit was estimated to contain 6–11 molecules.

Fimbrial Adhesins

The attachment of many Gram-negative pathogens to biotic and abiotic surfaces is mediated by fimbrial adhesins, which are assembledviathe classical, alternative and archaic chaperone–usher (CU) pathways. The archaic CU fimbrial adhesins have the widest phylogenetic distribution, yet very little is known about their structure and mechanism of assembly. To elucidate the biogenesis of archaic CU systems, structural analysis of the Csu fimbriae, which are used byAcinetobacter baumanniito form stable biofilms and cause nosocomial infection, was focused on. The major fimbriae subunit CsuA/B complexed with the CsuC chaperone was purified from the periplasm ofEscherichia colicells co-expressing CsuA/B and CsuC, and the complex was crystallized in PEG 3350 solution using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Selenomethionine-labelled CsuC–CsuA/B complex was purified and crystallized under the same conditions. The crystals diffracted to 2.40 Å resolution and belonged to the hexagonal space groupP6422, with unit-cell parametersa=b= 94.71,c = 187.05 Å, α = β = 90, γ = 120°. Initial phases were derived from a single anomalous diffraction (SAD) experiment using the selenomethionine derivative.

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.

N-utilizing substance B (NusB) is a protein which forms part of a complex assembly in transcriptional antitermination in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It forms a heterodimer with the product of the NusE gene (identical to the ribosomal protein S10) and mediates the process of transcriptional antitermination by forming the core complex with the nut site of the ribosomal RNA along with other protein factors. NusB has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The space group is P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 46.6, b = 64.2, c = 90.1 Å. A native data set complete to 1.6 Å resolution has been collected from a single crystal.

Structural Details

Human primase synthesizes RNA primers and transfers them to the active site of Pol α with subsequent extension with dNTPs. Human primase is a heterodimer of two subunits: a small catalytic subunit (p49) and a large subunit (p58). The structural details of the initiation and elongation steps of primer synthesis, as well as primer length counting, are not known. To address these questions, structural studies of human primase were initiated. Two types of crystals were obtained. The best diffracting crystals belonged to space groupP1, with unit-cell parametersa= 86.2,b= 88.9,c= 94.68 Å, α = 93.82, β = 96.57, γ = 111.72°, and contained two heterodimers of full-length p49 and p59 subunits in the asymmetric unit.
