Crystallization and preliminary x-ray diffraction analysis of three mastoparans.

چکیده
Mastoparans are tetradecapeptides found to be the major component of wasp venoms. These peptides possess a variety of biological activities. Three related mastoparans, mastoparan from Polistes jadwagae (MP-PJ), mastoparanX (MP-X) and its carboxyl-free C-terminal form (MP-X-COO-), were crystallized. X-ray diffraction data for them were collected at resolutions of 1.2 A, 2.0 A and 3.3 A respectively.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of a eumenine mastoparan toxin: a new class of mast-cell degranulating peptide in the wasp venom.
Mastoparans are tetradecapeptides found to be the major component of vespid venoms. A mastoparan toxin isolated from the venom of Anterhynchium flavomarginatum micado has been crystallized and X-ray diffraction data collected to 2.7 A resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. Crystals were determined to belong to the space group P6(2)22 (P6(4)22). This is the first mastoparan to be cryst...
متن کاملCloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of DapA (Rv2753c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Corrigendum
Dihydrodipicolinate synthase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (DHDPS, DapA, Rv2753c) has been cloned, heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, purified using standard chromatographic techniques and crystallized in a monoclinic crystal form. Preliminary diffraction data analysis suggests the presence of two independent tetramers in the asymmetric unit in almost the same relative orientation.
متن کاملDetection of breast cancer using non-invasive X-ray diffraction technique of hair: A preliminary study
Background: An early diagnosis of breast cancer relates directly to an accurate treatment plan and strategy. Early detection of breast cancer before its development would be a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality rates. The aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the sensitivity of Wide Angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD) method on women hair samples of healthy and breast cancer...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the Sel1-like repeats of SEL1L.
Terminally misfolded or unassembled proteins are selectively recognized and cleared by the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Suppressor/enhancer of lin-12-like (SEL1L), a component of the dislocation machinery containing the E3 ubiquitin ligase Hrd1, plays an important role in selecting and transporting ERAD substrates for degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum. In this study, the pur...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of the family 54 carbohydrate-binding module from laminarinase (β-1,3-glucanase) Lic16A of Clostridium thermocellum.
The crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) from laminarinase Lic16A of the hyperthermophilic anaerobic bacterium Clostridium thermocellum (ctCBM54) are reported. Recombinant ctCBM54 was prepared using an Escherichia coli/pQE30 overexpression system and was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction dat...
