Pz peptidase B is an intracellular M3 metallopeptidase that is found together with Pz peptidase A in the thermophileGeobacillus collagenovoransMO-1 and recognizes collagen-specific tripeptide units (-Gly-Pro-X-). These peptidases have low homology in their primary structures; however, their cleavage patterns towards peptide substrates are similar. In this work, Pz peptidase B was crystallized using the counter-diffusion method. Data were collected to a resolution of 1.6 Å at 100 K from a crystal obtained in the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM; also known as `Kibo') at the International Space Station (ISS). The crystal belonged to the trigonal space groupP3121, with unit-cell parametersa=b= 87.64,c= 210.5 Å. A complete data set was also obtained from crystals of selenomethionine-substituted protein.

Thioredoxins (Trxs) play important roles in chloroplasts by linking photosynthetic light reactions to a series of plastid functions. They execute their function by regulating the oxidation and reduction of disulfide bonds. ACHT1 (atypical cysteine/histidine-rich Trx1) is a thylakoid-associated thioredoxin-type protein found in theArabidopsis thalianachloroplast. Recombinant ACHT1 protein was overexpressed inEscherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the vapour-diffusion method. The crystal diffracted to 1.7 Å resolution and a complete X-ray data set was collected. Preliminary crystallographic analysis suggested that the crystals belonged to space groupC2221, with unit-cell parametersa = 102.7,b= 100.6,c= 92.8 Å.

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.

Environmental Toxin

Arsenic is the most ubiquitous environmental toxin and carcinogen and consequently ranks first on the Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund Priority List of Hazardous Substances. It is introduced primarily from geochemical sources and is acted on biologically, creating an arsenic biogeocycle. A common biotransformation is methylation to monomethylated, dimethylated and trimethylated species. Methylation is catalyzed by the ArsM (or AS3MT) arsenic(III)S-adenosylmethionine methyltransferase, an enzyme (EC 2.1.1.137) that is found in members of every kingdom from bacteria to humans. ArsM from the thermophilic algaCyanidioschyzonsp. 5508 was expressed, purified and crystallized. Crystals were obtained by the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method. The crystals belonged to the monoclinic space groupC2, with unit-cell parametersa= 84.85,b= 46.89,c= 100.35 Å, β = 114.25° and one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Diffraction data were collected at the Advanced Light Source and were processed to a resolution of 1.76 Å.

Denatured Protein

InCampylobacter jejuni, chemotaxis and motility have been identified as important virulence factors that are required for host colonization and invasion. Chemotactic recognition of extracellular signals is mediated by the periplasmic sensory domains of its transducer-like proteins (Tlps). In this study, the sensory domain of theC. jejunichemoreceptor for aspartate A (CcaA) has been expressed inEscherichia coliand purified from inclusion bodies. The urea-denatured protein was refolded and then crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using PEG 3350 as a precipitating agent. A complete data set has been collected to 1.4 Å resolution using cryocooling conditions and synchrotron radiation. The crystals belonged to space groupP1, with unit-cell parametersa= 39.3,b= 43.3,c= 50.9 Å, α = 92.5, β = 111.4, γ = 114.7°.
