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.

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.

Orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT) catalyzes the Mg2+-dependent condensation of orotic acid (OA) with 5-α-D-phosphorylribose 1-diphosphate (PRPP) to yield diphosphate (PPi) and the nucleotide orotidine 5′-monophosphate. OPRT fromPlasmodium falciparumproduced inEscherichia coliwas crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method in complex with OA and PRPP in the presence of Mg2+.

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.
