Overproduction, crystallization and X-ray diffraction data analysis of ectoine synthase from the cold-adapted marine bacterium Sphingopyxis alaskensis.
Ectoine biosynthetic genes (ectABC) are widely distributed in bacteria. Microorganisms that carry them make copious amounts of ectoine as a cell protectant in response to high-osmolarity challenges. Ectoine synthase (EctC; EC 4.2.1.108) is the key enzyme for the production of this compatible solute and mediates the last step of ectoine biosynthesis. It catalyzes the ring closure of the cyclic e...
متن کاملCrystallization and X-ray diffraction of an ectoine hydroxylase from Bacillus pseudofirmus OF4.
OBJECTIVE To study crystallization and X-Ray diffraction of ectoine hydroxylase from Bacillus pseudofirmus OF4. METHODS We cloned the gene BpectD from B. pseudofirmus OF4 with a His6 tag and overexpressed it in E. coli BL21 (DE3). Then, we purified protein BpEctD by Ni2 -chelating affinity and size-exclusion chromatography. After that, crystals were grown by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion ...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction study of the farnesyl diphosphate synthase from Trypanosoma brucei.
Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS) catalyses the formation of farnesyl diphosphate from dimethylallyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate and is an RNAi-validated drug target in Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness. A T. brucei FPPS (390 amino acids) has been expressed in Escherichia coli and the recombinant protein has been crystallized in the absence and ...
متن کاملCrystallization and X-ray diffraction analysis of human CLEC-2.
The human C-type lectin-like protein CLEC-2 has recently been shown to be expressed on the surface of platelets and to function as a receptor for the snake-venom protein rhodocytin. The C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of CLEC-2 was expressed in Escherichia coli, refolded and purified. Crystals of this recombinant CLEC-2 were grown by sitting-drop vapour diffusion using polyethylene glycol (PEG...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary x-ray diffraction analysis of three mastoparans.
Mastoparans are tetradecapeptides found to be the major component of wasp venoms. These peptides possess a variety of biological activities. Three related mastoparans, mastoparan from Polistes jadwagae (MP-PJ), mastoparanX (MP-X) and its carboxyl-free C-terminal form (MP-X-COO-), were crystallized. X-ray diffraction data for them were collected at resolutions of 1.2 A, 2.0 A and 3.3 A respectiv...
