Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of cyclolavandulyl diphosphate synthase, a new member of the cis-isoprenyl diphosphate synthase superfamily.
Cyclolavandulyl diphosphate synthase (CLDS; estimated molecular weight 23.1 kDa) from the soil bacterium Streptomyces sp. CL190 is an enzyme that catalyzes both the condensation of two molecules of C5 dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) and the subsequent cyclization. CLDS was crystallized in the absence and the presence of the substrate DMAPP. Diffraction data were collected at a synchrotron sou...
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 کاملMolecular cloning and functional expression of a new aphid isoprenyl diphosphate synthase
Aphids are important insect pests in temperate regions, damaging crop plants by sucking nutrients from the phloem and by transmitting plant viruses [1]. Chemical control of certain aphid species is becoming extremely difficult due to resistance to insecticides [2]. In this context, the development of novel pest control products that specifically target aphids is highly desirable. To this end, w...
متن کاملCrystallization and Preliminary X-ray Diffraction of a Halophilic Archaeal Malate Synthase
Malate synthases found in cells of the halophilic Archaea constitute a third isoform of this important metabolic enzyme, in addition to the well characterized A and G isoforms. They share little sequence similarity with these other two isoforms. Database searches using basic local alignments reveal relationships between isoforms A and G, but do not indicate a significant sequence relationship b...
متن کاملProtein preparation, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of Polygonum cuspidatum bifunctional chalcone synthase/benzalacetone synthase.
The chalcone synthase (CHS) superfamily of type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) generate the backbones of a variety of plant secondary metabolites. An active bifunctional chalcone synthase/benzalacetone synthase (CHS/BAS) from Polygonum cuspidatum was overexpressed in Escherichia coli as a C-terminally polyhistidine-tagged fusion protein, purified to homogeneity and crystallized using polyethyl...
