Insecticyanin, a blue biliprotein from the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta, has been crystallized in a form suitable for a high resolution x-ray analysis. The crystals grow by vapor diffusion against solutions of polyethylene glycol 8000 at pH 5.5. They belong to the space group P4(1)2(1)2 or P4(3)2(1)2 with unit cell dimensions of a = b = 115.0 A; c = 71.1 A. Insecticyanin is believed to be a tetramer in solution; there are two subunits per asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract to at least 2.2 A resolution and appear reasonably resistant to radiation damage.  相似文献

Aldehyde dehydrogenase from bovine liver mitochondria has been crystallized using the sitting drop method of vapor diffusion at 22 degrees C. The crystals formed from solutions containing, 40 mM-sodium citrate, 1 mM-NAD+ and 21% to 24% polyethylene glycol 3400 (pH 5.3 to 5.5). X-ray diffraction data collected from these crystals indicate that the crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell dimensions of a = 153.7 A, b = 159.37 A and c = 101.45 A. The crystals diffract to at least 2.9 A and a tetramer may comprise the asymmetric unit.  相似文献

A new crystal form of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39) from Nicotiana tabacum has been obtained at alkaline pH with polyethylene glycol 8000 in the presence of a non-ionic detergent, beta-octyl glucoside. The crystals are grown at room temperature by the hanging-drop vapor diffusion technique from a protein solution containing enzyme complexed with CO2, Mg2+, and the transition state analog 2-C-carboxy-D-arabinitol-1,5-bisphosphate. The crystals belong to the the space group P3(1)21 (or P3(2)21) with the cell parameters a = 204.6 A, and c = 117.4 A (1 A = 0.1 nm). The asymmetric unit contains half (L4S4: L, large subunit, 53,000 Mr; S, small subunit, 15,000 Mr) of a hexadecameric molecule (L8S8, 540,000 Mr). The crystals diffract to at least 2.6 A Bragg spacing and are suitable for X-ray structure determination.  相似文献

Escherichia coli beta-hydroxydecanoyl thiol ester dehydrase, a key enzyme for the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in E. coli, has been crystallized by the vapor diffusion method at pH 5.0-5.5 using 20% (w/v) polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 8000) as a precipitant. Two crystal forms have been characterized, and both diffract to at least 1.6 A. The orthorhombic crystals belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with cell constants of a = 68.4 A, b = 87.3 A, and c = 60.3 A. Monoclinic crystals are of space group C2, with a = 131.9 A, b = 71.5 A, c = 92.5 A, and beta = 103.5 degrees.  相似文献

Hevamine, an enzyme with both lysozyme and chitinase activity, was isolated and purified from Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) latex. The enzyme (molecular weight 29,000) is homologous to certain "pathogenesis-related" proteins from plants, but not to hen egg-white or phage T4 lysozyme. To investigate the atomic details of the substrate specificity and the cause for hevamine's low pH optimum (pH 4.0), we have crystallized two hevamine isozymes as a first step towards a high-resolution X-ray structure determination. Suitable crystals were obtained at room temperature from hanging drop experiments by vapor diffusion against 1.7 M to 3.4 M-NaCl (pH 5.0 to 9.0) for the major isozyme, and by vapor diffusion against 2.5 M to 4.3 M-NaCl (pH 5.0 to 8.0) for the minor one. Both isozymes give the same crystal morphology and space group. Their space group is P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell dimensions a = 82.3 A, b = 58.1 A and c = 52.5 A (1 A = 0.1 nm). The crystals diffract to at least 2.0 A resolution.  相似文献

Mutant aspartate aminotransferase V39L (Val39 replaced by Leu) from Escherichia coli has been crystallized into a monoclinic cell from a polyethylene glycol solution (pH 7.5) by vapor diffusion. The space group and the unit cell dimensions have been determined using a precession camera, a CAD4 diffractometer and a Nicolet Xentronics area detector to be P2(1) with a = 86.8 A, b = 79.9 A, c = 89.4 A, beta = 118.74 degrees. The crystals diffract to better than 2.3 A and are suitable for X-ray structure analysis.  相似文献

Crystals of recombinant wild-type antichymotrypsin have been prepared by the method of vapor diffusion with polyethylene glycol 4000 as a precipitant at pH 5.7. Two crystal forms are observed. One form belongs to tetragonal space group P4(3)2(1)2 (or P4(1)2(1)2) and has unit cell dimensions a = b = 126 A, c = 243 A, with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The other crystal form belongs to orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and has unit cell parameters of a = 73 A, b = 78 A and c = 80 A, with one molecular in the asymmetric unit. Diffraction intensity measurements have been made on the tetragonal crystal form to a limiting resolution of 4.1 A, and reflections have been observed on X-ray still photographs to a limiting resolution of 2.5 A for the orthorhombic form. An activity assay of redissolved tetragonal form crystals indicates that the uncleaved, functional serpin has been crystallized.  相似文献

Single crystals of pseudoazurin, one of the blue copper proteins produced by methylotrophic bacterium Methylobacterium extorquens AM1, have been obtained by the method of vapor diffusion with ammonium sulfate as a precipitant at pH 8.0. Crystals belong to the orthorhombic system, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit cell dimensions of a = 52.619(4) A, b = 63.280(6) A, c = 35.133(4) A. The asymmetric unit includes one molecule of pseudoazurin (Vm = 2.18 A3/dalton). The crystals are so stable against X-ray irradiation that diffraction intensities of the native crystal up to 1.68 A resolution could be collected from only one crystal. Among the many heavy-metal reagents examined, uranyl acetate gave an effective isomorphous derivative.  相似文献

Nonglycosylated alpha-amylase, a major component of human parotid saliva, has been crystallized by the vapor diffusion technique using 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol as the precipitant in the presence of CaCl2 at pH 9.0. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit cell dimensions of a = 53.3, b = 75.8, and c = 138.1 A. The asymmetric unit contains one amylase molecule. The solvent content is 54%. The crystals are stable to X-rays and diffract up to 2.8 A and appear to be suitable for X-ray diffraction studies.  相似文献

Single crystals of Maclura pomifera agglutinin, a seed lectin from the Moraceae family, complexed with the disaccharide Gal beta 1-3GalNAc have been obtained by the method of vapor diffusion with Li2SO4 as precipitant at pH 4.5. The crystals belong to the trigonal space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with a = b = 67.4 A, c = 149.3 A. They contain two subunits per asymmetric unit and diffract beyond 2.7 A. This and other evidence indicate that both this lectin and the Artocarpus integrifolia lectin, jacalin, have dimeric structures rather than the tetrameric structures previously proposed.  相似文献

The photochemical reaction center from Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 has been crystallized. The crystals were obtained in a solution of beta-octylglucoside by the vapor diffusion technique using polyethylene glycol 4000 as the precipitant at 22 degrees C. The orthorhombic crystals (space group P2(1)2(1)2(1)) have cell constants a = 142.5 A, b = 136.1 A, c = 78.5 A, and diffract to 3.7 A. The crystals display pronounced linear dichroism in the carotenoid absorption spectral region.  相似文献

NADH peroxidase from Streptococcus faecalis 10C1 has been crystallized from ammonium sulfate solutions using the hanging drop vapor diffusion method. Depending on pH, the crystals grew in the orthorhombic space group I222 or one of its subgroups P222 or P2(1)2(1)2 (or one of its two permutations). In both cases the unit cell axes are a = 76.6 A, b = 132.9 A, and c = 145.7 A. There are two monomers/asymmetric unit in the body-centered crystal form and four in the primitive one. The enzyme is catalytically active in the crystalline state. The crystals diffract to at least 2.5 A resolution; they are stable in the x-ray beam and hence suitable for detailed three-dimensional structure determination.  相似文献

L-Lactate dehydrogenase of Thermus caldophilus GK24 was purified from Escherichia coli containing an overexpression plasmid. The enzyme was crystallized from polyethylene glycol 6000 solutions without ligands by the hanging drop vapor diffusion method. Two forms of crystals were obtained. The crystals grown at pH 6.0 were characterized by means of an X-ray diffraction experiment, while those grown at pH 6.5 and 7.0 did not give detectable diffraction spots. The crystals grown at pH 6.0 belonged to monoclinic space group P2(1), the cell dimensions being a = 54.8 A, b = 138.2A, c = 86.1 A, and beta = 93.3 degrees. These crystals diffract to beyond 2.5 A spacing and are stable on X-ray irradiation.  相似文献

Large single crystals of a glycopeptide resistance protein encoded by the SH-ble gene from Streptoalloteichus hindustanus have been grown using vapor diffusion techniques with ammonium sulfate as the precipitant. The diffraction pattern extends to 2.0 A resolution. The crystals belong to space group P4(1)2(1)2 or P4(3)2(1)2 and have unit cell dimensions of a = 48.8 A and c = 112.5 A.  相似文献

Soybean lipoxygenase 1 has been crystallized by the vapor diffusion method in 8-10% polyethylene glycol (average Mr 3400), 0.2 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.2-5.6, at a protein concentration of 6-12 mg/ml. Microseeding was employed to obtain growth of large single crystals. The crystals, which diffract to at least 2.2-A spacings, are monoclinic and of space group P2(1). Cell constants are: a = 95.4, b = 94.2, and c = 50.4 A and beta = 91.4 degrees. The calculated value of Vm (2.41 A3/Da) is consistent with the probable presence of one molecule of lipoxygenase/crystallographic asymmetric unit (Z = 2).  相似文献

alpha-Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis has been crystallized by the hanging-drop vapor diffusion method in the presence of calcium ions using ammonium sulfate as precipitant. The crystals are tetragonal, belonging to the space group P4(1)2(1)2 (or P4(3)2(1)2), with unit cell dimensions of a = 119.9 and c = 85.4 A. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of alpha-amylase, with a crystal volume per protein mass (VM) of 2.78 A3/Da. The crystals diffract to better than 2.0 A Bragg spacing when exposed to synchrotron X-rays and they are reasonably stable in the X-ray beam. Thus the crystals are suitable for structure determination at high resolution by X-ray methods.  相似文献

The N-terminal half molecule of ovotransferrin has been crystallized from a polyethylene glycol 6000 solution by means of the vapor diffusion method. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic system, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with cell dimension of a = 47.0, b = 90.2, and c = 76.2 A. The crystals diffract X-rays to a resolution limit of at least 2.0 A and are resistant to X-ray radiation damage. They appear to be suitable for X-ray structure analysis.  相似文献

Crystals of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor produced by Escherichia coli have been obtained under different conditions. Crystals suitable for X-ray studies are produced by a vapor diffusion technique using sodium phosphate as both precipitant and buffer at pH 6.5. The crystals belong to the cubic space group, P2(1)3 with unit cell dimensions a = b = c = 95.7 A (1 A = 0.1 nm). Preliminary photography reveals that the crystals are moderately stable to X-rays and diffract to at least 3 A resolution. The diffraction data for native crystals have been collected on a diffractometer at 3 A resolution. Another crystal form, which appeared in a solution containing sodium phosphate at pH 8.0, has the trigonal space group P3 with unit cell dimensions a = b = 63.8 A and c = 54.4 A, and produces measurable reflections to a resolution of 3 A. Hexagonal crystals also have been obtained by the use of polyethylene glycol as precipitant in the range pH 7.6 to 8.0; however, the crystals are fragile and unstable to X-rays. Conservation of 3-fold symmetry in the different crystal forms obtained could reflect the ability of tumor necrosis factor molecules to form trimers in solution and probably the nature of binding of the molecules to cellular receptors.  相似文献

The gene of V(1)-ATPase B subunit from the thermophilic eubacterium Thermus thermophilus has been cloned and the protein overproduced in Escherichia coli. The purified protein, with a molecular weight of 53.2 kDa, was crystallized from 10% (w/v) polyethylene glycol 1000, 120 mM magnesium chloride, and 100 mM Na-tricine, pH 8.0, by the vapor diffusion method. The crystals diffracted X-rays beyond 3.5 A on a synchrotron radiation source. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group C2, with unit cell dimensions of a = 153.1 A, b = 129.6 A, c = 92.7 A, and beta = 100.3 degrees. Assuming that three or four molecules are contained in an asymmetric unit, the V(M) value is calculated as 2.8 or 2.1 A (3)/Da, respectively.  相似文献
