Cloning, expression, and crystallization of Cpn60 proteins from Thermococcus litoralis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two genes of the extreme thermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis homologous to those that code for Cpn60 chaperonins were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Each of the Cpn60 subunits as well as the entire Cpn60 complex crystallize in a variety of morphological forms. The best crystals diffract to 3.6 A resolution at room temperature and belong to the space group 1422 with unit cell parameters a = b = 193.5 A, c = 204.2 A.

متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the trehalose/maltose ABC transporter MalFGK2 from Thermococcus litoralis.
Trehalose and maltose uptake in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis is mediated by an ABC transport system. The heterotetrameric transport complex MalFGK(2), consisting of two membrane-spanning subunits and two copies of an ATP-binding cassette protein, has been crystallized. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 106.5, b = 150.5, ...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of L-aminoacylase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis.
The enzyme L-aminoacylase catalyses the hydrolysis of N-acyl-L-amino acids from peptides or proteins. The recombinant enzyme from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis has been purified to homogeneity. This zinc-containing enzyme has been crystallized from ammonium sulfate using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffract to 2.8 A resolution and belong to the...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of a liganded trehalose/maltose-binding protein from the hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermococcus litoralis at 1.85 A.
We report the crystallization and structure determination at 1.85 A of the extracellular, membrane-anchored trehalose/maltose-binding protein (TMBP) in complex with its substrate trehalose. TMBP is the substrate recognition site of the high-affinity trehalose/maltose ABC transporter of the hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermococcus litoralis. In vivo, this protein is anchored to the membrane, pres...
