Crystallization of halophilic malate dehydrogenase from Halobacterium marismortui.

چکیده
Malate dehydrogenase from the extreme halophile Halobacterium marismortui crystallizes in highly concentrated phosphate solution in space group 12 with cell dimensions a = 113.8 A, b = 122.8 A, c = 126.7 A, beta = 98.1 degrees. The halophilic enzyme was found to be unstable at lower concentrations of phosphate. It associates with unusually large amounts of water and salt, and the combined particle volume shows a tight fit in the unit cell.

Characterization and crystallization of ribosomal particles from Halobacterium marismortui
Ribosomes and their subunits have been isolated from Halobacterium marismortui, an extremely halophilic bacterium from the Dead Sea. The stability and functional activity of the subunits were tested under a wide range of salt conditions. Three-dimensional microcrystals of the large ribosomal subunits have been obtained. Electron microscopy of positively stained thin sections of these crystals s...
متن کاملStructural features that stabilize halophilic malate dehydrogenase from an archaebacterium.
The high-resolution structure of halophilic malate dehydrogenase (hMDH) from the archaebacterium Haloarcula marismortui was determined by x-ray crystallography. Comparison of the three-dimensional structures of hMDH and its nonhalophilic congeners reveals structural features that may promote the stability of hMDH at high salt concentrations. These features include an excess of acidic over basic...
متن کاملGenome sequence of Haloarcula marismortui: a halophilic archaeon from the Dead Sea.
We report the complete sequence of the 4,274,642-bp genome of Haloarcula marismortui, a halophilic archaeal isolate from the Dead Sea. The genome is organized into nine circular replicons of varying G+C compositions ranging from 54% to 62%. Comparison of the genome architectures of Halobacterium sp. NRC-1 and H. marismortui suggests a common ancestor for the two organisms and a genome of signif...
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 کاملThe primary structures of ribosomal proteins S14 and S16 from the archaebacterium Halobacterium marismortui. Comparison with eubacterial and eukaryotic ribosomal proteins.
The amino acid sequences of two ribosomal proteins, S14 and S16, from the archaebacterium Halobacterium marismortui have been determined. Sequence data were obtained by the manual and solid-phase sequencing of peptides derived from enzymatic digestions with trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin, and Staphylococcus aureus protease as well as by chemical cleavage with cyanogen bromide. Proteins S14 and S...
