Peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein (Pal) is one component of the Tol–Pal system that is involved in maintaining the integrity and stability of the outer membrane. The C-terminal OmpA-like domain of Pal interacts noncovalently with peptidoglycan. In this study, the OmpA-like domain of Pal fromAcinetobacter baumanniiwas overexpressed inEscherichia colistrain BL21 (DE3), purified and crystallized using the vapour-diffusion method. A native crystal diffracted to 1.4 Å resolution and belonged to space groupP61orP65, with unit-cell parametersa=b= 72.58,c= 44.65 Å, a calculated Matthews coefficient of 2.64 Å3 Da−1and one molecule per asymmetric unit.

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.

NAD+-reducing [NiFe] hydrogenases catalyze the oxidoreduction of dihydrogen concomitant with the interconversion of NAD+and NADH. Here, the isolation, purification and crystallization of the NAD+-reducing [NiFe] hydrogenase fromHydrogenophilus thermoluteolusTH-1 are reported. Crystals of the NAD+-reducing [NiFe] hydrogenase were obtained within one week from a solution containing polyethylene glycol using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method and micro-seeding. The crystal diffracted to 2.58 Å resolution and belonged to space groupC2, with unit-cell parametersa= 131.43,b= 189.71,c= 124.59 Å, β = 109.42°. Assuming the presence of two NAD+-reducing [NiFe] hydrogenase molecules in the asymmetric unit,VMwas calculated to be 2.2 Å3 Da−1, which corresponds to a solvent content of 43%. Initial phases were determined by the single-wavelength anomalous dispersion method using the anomalous signal from the Fe atoms.

Adaptations to hypoxia play an important role inMycobacterium tuberculosispathogenesis. Rv0324, which contains an HTH DNA-binding domain and a rhodanese domain, is one of the key transcription regulators in response to hypoxia.M. tuberculosisRv1674c is a homologue of Rv0324. To understand the interdomain interaction and regulation of the HTH domain and the rhodanese domain, recombinant Rv1674c protein was purified and crystallized by the vapour-diffusion method.

Branching Enzymes

Several cyanobacterial species, includingCyanothecesp. ATCC 51142, remarkably have four isoforms of α-glucan branching enzymes (BEs). Based on their primary structures, they are classified into glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 13 (BE1, BE2 and BE3) or family 57 (GH57 BE). In the present study, GH13-type BEs fromCyanothecesp. ATCC 51142 (BE1, BE2 and BE3) have been overexpressed inEscherichia coliand biochemically characterized. The recombinant BE1 was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Crystals of BE1 were obtained at 293 K in the presence of 0.2 MMg2+, 7–10%(w/v) ethanol, 0.1 MHEPES–NaOH pH 7.2–7.9. The crystals belonged to the tetragonal space groupP41212, with unit-cell parametersa = b = 133.75,c= 185.90 Å, and diffracted to beyond 1.85 Å resolution. Matthews coefficient calculations suggested that the crystals of BE1 contained two molecules in the asymmetric unit.
