Reductive Carboxylation

AntE fromStreptomycessp. NRRL 2288 is a crotonyl-CoA carboxylase/reductase that catalyzes the reductive carboxylation of various α,β-unsaturated acyl-CoAs to provide the building block at the C7 position for antimycin A biosynthesis. Recombinant AntE expressed inEscherichia coliwas crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belonged to space groupI222 orI212121, with unit-cell parametersa= 76.4,b= 96.7,c= 129.6 Å, α = β = γ = 90.0°. A diffraction data set was collected at the KEK Photon Factory to 2.29 Å resolution.

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.

Induced Genes

Universal stress proteins (Usps) are among the most highly induced genes when bacteria are subjected to several stress conditions such as heat shock, nutrient starvation or the presence of oxidants or other stress agents.Escherichia colihas five small Usps and one tandem-type Usp. UspE (or YdaA) is the tandem-type Usp and consists of two Usp domains arranged in tandem. To date, the structure of UspE remains to be elucidated. To contribute to the molecular understanding of the function of the tandem-type UspE, UspE fromE. coliwas overexpressed and the recombinant protein was purified using Ni–NTA affinity, Q anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. Crystals of UspE were obtained by sitting-drop vapour diffusion. A diffraction data set was collected to a resolution of 3.2 Å from flash-cooled crystals. The crystals belonged to the tetragonal space groupI4122 orI4322, with unit-cell parametersa=b= 121.1,c = 241.7 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.

Resistance Protein

RGA5-A, a component of the Pia resistance-protein complex (RGA4/RGA5-A) fromOryza sativaL.japonica, has the ability to interact physically with the effector protein AVR-Pia fromMagnaporthe oryzaeviaits effector-interaction domain RGA5-A_S. The interaction between RGA5-A and AVR-Pia relieves the repression of RGA4, leading to AVR-independent cell death by the freed RGA4. To further understand the details of this interaction, the effector-interaction domain RGA5-A_S was expressed inEscherichia coliand purified to homogeneity. The purified recombinant protein His-RGA5-A_S was successfully crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. A single crystal obtained using 0.2Mammonium citrate, 25%(w/v) PEG 3350 diffracted to 2.43 Å resolution. It belonged to space groupP4122 orP4322, with unit-cell parametersa=b= 55.2,c= 78.2 Å, α = β = γ = 90°.

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%.

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.

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.
