Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of verotoxin-1 B-subunit 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The B-subunit of verotoxin-1, which is believed to form a pentamer (monomer Mr = 7691), has been crystallized by vapor diffusion over a wide range of conditions. The best crystals, obtained with polyethylene glycol 8000 as the precipitant, belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with cell dimensions a = 59.2 A, b = 102.7 A, c = 56.3 A. The cell dimensions are consistent with one B-subunit pentamer per asymmetric unit, and the crystals diffract to at least 2.0 A resolution. Data collected using synchrotron radiation at a wavelength of 2.070 A may allow the structure to be solved using the anomalous signal from three sulfur atoms in the monomer, combined with averaging over the non-crystallographic symmetry. 相似文献

Trichosanthin (TCS) is a type I ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) which possesses rRNA N-glycosidase activity. TCS has various pharmacological properties. It is possible to reduce the antigenicity of TCS by deleting up to seven C-terminal residues of TCS (TCS-C7) with minimal effect on its activity. TCS-C7 has been crystallized and the crystal diffracted to 1.8 A. It belongs to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=71.6A, b=74.4A, c=87.6A, beta=97.0 degrees. It is given that there are four molecules per asymmetric unit. 相似文献

Galectins are a family of metazoan proteins that show binding to various β-galactoside-containing glycans. Because of a lack of proper tools, the interaction of galectins with their specific glycan ligands in the cells and tissues are largely unknown. We have investigated the localization of galectin ligands in Caenorhabditis elegans using a novel technology that relies on the high binding specificity between galectins and their endogenous ligands. Fluorescently labeled recombinant galectin fusions are found to bind to ligands located in diverse tissues including the intestine, pharynx, and the rectal valve. Consistent with their role as galactoside-binding proteins, the interaction with their ligands is inhibited by galactose or lactose. Two of the galectins, LEC-6 and LEC-10, recognize ligands that co-localize along the intestinal lumen. The ligands for LEC-6 and LEC-10 are absent in three glycosylation mutants bre-1, fut-8, and galt-1, which have been shown to be required to synthesize the Gal-β1,4-Fuc modifications of the core N-glycans unique to C. elegans and several other invertebrates. Both galectins pull down the same set of glycoproteins in a manner dependent on the presence of these carbohydrate modifications. Endogenous LEC-6 and LEC-10 are expressed in the intestinal cells, but they are localized to different subcellular compartments that do not appear to overlap with each other or with the location of their glycan targets. An altered subcellular distribution of these ligands is found in mutants lacking both galectins. These results suggest a model where LEC-6 and LEC-10 interact with glycoproteins through specific glycans to regulate their cellular fate. 相似文献

Galectins form a large family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins in metazoa and fungi. This report presents a comparative study of the functions of potential galectin genes found in the genome database of Caenorhabditis elegans. We isolated full-length cDNAs of eight potential galectin genes (lec-2-5 and 8-11) from a lambdaZAP cDNA library. Among them, lec-2-5 were found to encode 31-35-kDa polypeptides containing two carbohydrate-recognition domains similar to the previously characterized lec-1, whereas lec-8-11 were found to encode 16-27-kDa polypeptides containing a single carbohydrate-recognition domain and a C-terminal tail of unknown function. Recombinant proteins corresponding to lec-1-4, -6, and 8-10 were expressed in Escherichia coli, and their sugar-binding properties were assessed. Analysis using affinity adsorbents with various beta-galactosides, i.e., N-acetyllactosamine (Galbeta1-4GlcNAc), lacto-N-neotetraose (Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4Glc), and asialofetuin, demonstrated that LEC-1-4, -6, and -10 have a significant affinity for beta-galactosides, while the others have a relatively lower affinity. These results indicate that the integrity of key amino acid residues responsible for recognition of lactose (Galbeta1-4Glc) or N-acetyllactosamine in vertebrate galectins is also required in C. elegans galectins. However, analysis of their fine oligosaccharide-binding properties by frontal affinity chromatography suggests their divergence towards more specialized functions. 相似文献

We report a detailed structural analysis of the N-glycans of Caenorhabditis elegans recognized by C. elegans galectin LEC-6. Glycoproteins of C. elegans captured by an immobilized LEC-6 affinity adsorbent were isolated. The N-glycans of these glycoproteins were then liberated by hydrazinolysis and labeled with the fluorophore 2-aminopyridine (PA). The derived pyridylaminated (PA)-sugars were further fractionated by rechromatography on immobilized LEC-6 adsorbent and by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The structures of the PA-sugars thus obtained were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS/MS) in conjunction with glycosidase digestion. We confirmed that all PA-sugars having affinity for LEC-6 contain a Gal-Fuc disaccharide unit, and that this unit is bound to the innermost GlcNAc residue of the N-glycan chain. The dissociation constants of LEC-6 for these glycans were measured by frontal affinity chromatography. LEC-6 exhibited higher affinity for oligosaccharides having a Gal-Fuc unit linked to position 6 of the innermost GlcNAc residue than for those having Galbeta1-4GlcNAc units. Affinity for the former disappeared, however, following treatment with beta-galactosidase. If the glycan contained a Hex-Fuc disaccharide linked to the penultimate GlcNAc residue, the affinity would be diminished. We propose, therefore, that the galectins of C. elegans utilize the Gal-Fuc disaccharide unit for recognition instead of the Gal-GlcNAc unit that is common in vertebrates. 相似文献

Large crystals of arylesterase from Pseudomonas fluorescens have been grown at room temperature using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. They grow to dimensions of 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.6 mm3 within a month. The crystals belong to the trigonal space group P31 (or P32), with unit cell dimensions of a= 147.12 Å and c= 131.08 Å. The asymmetric unit seems to contain six molecules of dimeric aryles-terase, with corresponding crystal volume per protein mass (VM ) of 2.53 Å3/Da and solvent fraction of 51.5% by volume. The crystals diffract to at least 2.2 Å Bragg spacing when exposed to X-rays from a rotating-anode source. X-ray data have been collected to 2.9 Å Bragg spacing from native crystals. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Crystals of the hydrophilic, catalytic domain (30 kDa) of pig liver NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase solubilized by the protease (cathepsin D) have been grown in a solution of polyethylene glycol by the vapor-diffusion procedure. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic system, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit-cell dimensions of a = 87.1, b = 73.2, and c = 49.0 A. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of the enzyme. The x-ray diffraction patterns extend to 2.0-A resolution. On the other hand, the intact enzyme (35 kDa) containing the hydrophobic membrane-binding domain solubilized by the detergent (Triton N-101) has been crystallized also from the polyethylene glycol solution. The crystals are needle-shaped and still too small for x-ray diffraction study. 相似文献

The quorum sensing (QS) systems in Gram-negative bacteria are mostly associated with diffusible N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones (AHLs). AHL-degrading enzymes hydrolyze the AHLs into inactive molecules, thereby blocking the QS systems that are closely linked to virulence factor production and biofilm formation. Consequently, these enzymes have recently attracted intense interest for the development of anti-infection therapies for plants and animals. However, despite significant progress in the investigation of AHL-degrading enzymes, no structure is yet available. Accordingly, this study reports on the expression and purification of the AHL-lactonase from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD263, as well as the successful crystallization of the enzyme. High-quality native crystals were obtained and a complete data set collected at 2.0 A resolution. The native crystal was found to belong to the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit cell parameters a=52.7 A, b=55.9 A, and c=74.1 A and one molecule in the asymmetric unit. MAD data were also collected at 2.4 A resolution for a SeMet-substituted crystal. 相似文献

Orotic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (PyrE) (EC 2.4.2.10) is a key enzyme in de novo uridine monophosphate (UMP) biosynthesis. It catalyzes the reaction between orotic acid and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) to yield orotidine monophosphate (OMP), which is transformed to uridine monophosphate by decarboxylation. H. pylori PyrE was crystallized at 294 +/- 1 K by the hanging drop vapor-diffusion method. The crystals belong to the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit-cell dimensions a = 95.8, b = 104.9, c = 281.1 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees. A set of diffraction data was collected to 3.29 A resolution using synchrotron X-ray radiation. 相似文献

Aspartate-beta-semialdehyde dehydrogenase catalyzes the NADPH-mediated reductive dephosphorylation of beta-aspartylphosphate at a branch point in the biosynthesis of several amino acids. The enzyme from Escherichia coli has been crystallized by the vapor diffusion method from Tris buffer (pH 8.5) using polyethylene glycol 4000 as a precipitant. The crystals are orthorhombic and have the symmetry of space group P222(1), with unit cell dimensions of a = 177.8 A, b = 59.9 A, c = 118.65 A, and alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees. The dimensions and space group are indicative of two enzyme dimers (40 kDa per subunit) in the asymmetric unit. The crystals show strong diffraction, and a native data set has been collected to 2.5 A resolution. 相似文献

A recombinant form of Rhodobacter sphaeroides phosphoribulokinase (PRK), expressed in Escherichia coli and isolated by affinity chromatography, was crystallized by the sitting drop vapor diffusion technique using NH4H2PO4 (pH 5.6) as the precipitating agent. PRK crystallizes in the cubic space group P432, with unit cell parameters a = b = c = 129.55 A. Based on the assumption of one 32-kDa monomer per asymmetric unit, the Vm value is 2.83 A3/Da. The octameric molecular symmetry is consistent with two planar tetramers stacked in a nearly eclipsed arrangement. A native data set has been collected to 2.6 A resolution. 相似文献
