Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of human spindlin1, an ovarian cancer-related protein.

چکیده
Human spindlin1 is a newly screened and identified gene product related to ovarian carcinomas and is highly homologous to mouse spindlin. It is an abundant maternal transcript expressed in the mouse during the transition from oocyte to embryo. Here, the recombinant human spindlin1 has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Crystals diffracting to 2.25 A resolution were obtained using ammonium sulfate as precipitant. The crystals belong to the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a =40.7 A, b =84.4 A, c =136.4 A, alpha=beta=gamma=90 degrees . Assuming two molecules per asymmetric unit, the solvent content is calculated to be 42.4%.

Different genome-editing strategies have fuelled the development of new DNA-targeting molecular tools allowing precise gene modifications. Here, the expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction of BurrH, a novel DNA-binding protein from Burkholderia rhizoxinica, are reported. Crystallization experiments of BurrH in its apo form and in complex with its target DNA y...
متن کاملCloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the regulator AcrR from Escherichia coli.
This paper describes the cloning, expression, purification and preliminary X-ray data analysis of the AcrR regulatory protein. The Escherichia coli AcrR is a member of the TetR family of transcriptional regulators. It regulates the expression of the AcrAB multidrug transporter. Recombinant AcrR with a 6xHis tag at the C-terminus was expressed in E. coli and purified by metal-affinity chromatogr...

In mammals, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize conserved microbial molecular signatures and induce an early innate immune response in the host. TLR signalling is mediated by interactions between the cytosolic TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domains of the receptor and the adaptor proteins. Increasingly, it is apparent that pathogens target this interaction via pathogen-expressed TIR-domain-...
متن کاملCancer Genes and Genomics SPINDLIN1 Promotes Cancer Cell Proliferation through Activation of WNT/TCF-4 Signaling
SPINDLIN1, a new member of the SPIN/SSTY gene family, was first identified as a gene highly expressed in ovarian cancer cells. We have previously shown that it is involved in the process of spindle organization and chromosomal stability and plays a role in the development of cancer. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying its oncogenic role are still largely unknown. Here, we first showed that ...
متن کاملCloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of DapA (Rv2753c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Corrigendum
Dihydrodipicolinate synthase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (DHDPS, DapA, Rv2753c) has been cloned, heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, purified using standard chromatographic techniques and crystallized in a monoclinic crystal form. Preliminary diffraction data analysis suggests the presence of two independent tetramers in the asymmetric unit in almost the same relative orientation.
