Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of MbtI, a protein essential for siderophore biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, depends on the secretion of salicylate-based siderophores called mycobactins for the acquisition of extracellular iron, which is essential for the growth and virulence of the bacterium. The protein MbtI is thought to be the isochorismate synthase enzyme responsible for the conversion of chorismate to isochorismate, the first step ...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of SEDL.
SEDL (known also as sedlin) is a 140 amino-acid protein with a putative role in endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi transport. Several missense mutations and deletion mutations in the SEDL gene, which result in protein truncation by frame shift, are responsible for spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda, a progressive skeletal disorder. The protein is identical to MIP-2A, which was shown to interact phy...
متن کاملExpression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of pantothenate kinase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Pantothenate kinase is an essential enzyme in the bacterial life cycle. It catalyzes the phosphorylation of pantothenate (vitamin B5) to 4'-phosphopantothenate, the first step in the coenzyme A biosynthetic pathway. The enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, MW 35.7 kDa, has been cloned, expressed, purified and crystallized in two different trigonal crystal forms, both belonging to space group...
متن کاملProtein expression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of the isolated Shigella flexneri VapC toxin.
Upon release from the stable complex formed with its antitoxin VapB, the toxin VapC (MvpT) of the Gram-negative pathogen Shigella flexneri is capable of globally down-regulating translation by specifically cleaving initiator tRNA(fMet) in the anticodon region. Recombinant Shigella flexneri VapC(D7A) harbouring an active-site mutation was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneit...
متن کاملOverexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of hypothetical protein SAV0479 from Staphylococcus aureus Mu50.
SAV0479, a hypothetical protein from the Mu50 strain of methicillin- and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, was selected for structure and function determination as part of a structural genomics project. Here, the cloning, overexpression, purification and crystallization of SAV0479 are reported. Crystals were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method and diffraction data wer...
