Crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of human recombinant interleukin-2.

چکیده
Two different forms of crystals (potentially) suitable for x-ray structure analysis were obtained for recombinant human interleukin-2 (IL-2) using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant in the pH range of 6.3-7.3 (in the case of hexagonal bipyramidal crystals) and 4.5-5.5 (in the case of plate crystals). The hexagonal bipyramidal crystal belongs to a hexagonal space group P6(2)22 or P6(4)22 with a = b = 105.8 A and c = 122.2 A. The crystal diffracts up to 3.4 A resolution and contains 2 or 3 IL-2 molecules in an asymmetric unit. The plate crystal belongs to an orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2 with a = 47.9 A, b = 79.6 A, and c = 31.9 A. The crystal diffracts up to 2.5 A resolution and contains only 1 IL-2 molecule in an asymmetric unit. These facts reconfirmed crystallographically the high homogeneity of the present preparation of human recombinant IL-2.

In this paper, the purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of human carnitine acetyltransferase are reported. Recombinant human carnitine acetyltransferase crystals were grown by the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method and belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 137.65, b = 84.76, c = 57.65 A and one molecule per a...
متن کاملExpression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase B from Aspergillus kawachii.
Alpha-L-Arabinofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.55) is one of the hemicellulases that cleave the glycosidic bonds between L-arabinofuranoside side chains and various oligosaccharides. In this study, the first crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase B from Aspergillus kawachii IFO4308 (AkAbfB), a family 54 glycoside hydrolase, is described. Recombinant AkAbfB was expr...
متن کاملCrystallization, X-ray diffraction analysis and preliminary structure determination of the TIR domain from the flax resistance protein L6.
The Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain is a protein-protein interaction domain that is found in both animal and plant immune receptors. In animal Toll-like receptor signalling, both homotypic TIR-domain interactions between two receptor molecules and heterotypic interactions between receptors and TIR-domain-containing adaptors are required for initiation of an innate immune response. The ...
متن کاملPurification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction of wild-type and mutant recombinant human transforming growth factor beta-induced protein (TGFBIp).
Transforming growth factor beta-induced protein (TGFBIp) has been linked to several corneal dystrophies as certain point mutations in the protein may give rise to a progressive accumulation of insoluble protein material in the human cornea. Little is known about the biological functions of this extracellular protein, which is expressed in various tissues throughout the human body. However, it h...
