چکیده
Bifunctional pyrimidine deaminase/reductase (RibD) plays an important role during riboflavin biosynthesis in many microorganisms. The 40.4 kDa RibD from Shigella flexneri 2a has been cloned, expressed, purified and characterized. Three Crystals of RibD have been obtained by the hanging-drop technique at 291 K using PEG 20k or NaCl as precipitant. The RibD crystal using PEG 20k as precipitant diffracted to 2.5A.

Purification and preliminary crystallographic studies of CutC, a novel copper homeostasis protein from Shigella flexneri.
CutC is a novel copper homeostasis protein containing 248 amino acids. Here we report the cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of CutC from Shigella flexneri 2a. Purification of CutC and its selenomethionine (SeMet) derivate were done using immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography, size-exclusion and ion-exchange chromatography. ...
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 کاملPreparation, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of diadenosine tetraphosphate hydrolase from Shigella flexneri 2a.
Diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A) hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.41) hydrolyzes Ap4A symmetrically in prokaryotes. It plays a potential role in organisms by regulating the concentration of Ap4A in vivo. To date, no three-dimensional structures of proteins with significant sequence homology to this protein have been determined. The 31.3 kDa Ap4A hydrolase from Shigella flexneri 2a has been cloned, expresse...
متن کاملExpression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of MxiH, a subunit of the Shigella flexneri type III secretion system needle
A monodisperse truncation mutant of MxiH, the subunit of the needle from the Shigella flexneri type III secretion system (TTSS), has been overexpressed and purified. Crystals were grown of native and selenomethionine-labelled MxiH(CDelta5) and diffraction data were collected to 1.9 A resolution. The crystals belong to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 183.4, b = 28.1, c = 27.8 A, be...
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...
