چکیده
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 asymmetric unit. The intensity data were collected from a cryocooled crystal to 1.6 A resolution using a conventional X-ray source.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies on recombinant rat choline acetyltransferase.
Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from acetyl-CoA and choline in cholinergic neurons. Rat ChAT (rChAT) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified by affinity chromatography and crystallized. Diffraction data were collected from a single crystal under cryoconditions at the F1 beamline at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Sour...
متن کاملX-ray crystallographic studies of the extracellular domain of the first plant ATP receptor, DORN1, and the orthologous protein from Camelina sativa
Does not respond to nucleotides 1 (DORN1) has recently been identified as the first membrane-integral plant ATP receptor, which is required for ATP-induced calcium response, mitogen-activated protein kinase activation and defense responses in Arabidopsis thaliana. In order to understand DORN1-mediated ATP sensing and signal transduction, crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies were conduc...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of full-length yeast tropomyosin 2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Tropomyosin is a highly conserved actin-binding protein that is found in most eukaryotic cells. It is critical for actin-filament stabilization and for cooperative regulation of many actin functions. Detailed structural information on tropomyosin is very important in order to understand the mechanisms of its action. Whereas structures of isolated tropomyosin fragments have been obtained at high...
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...
متن کاملCrystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of the recombinant antitumour lectin from the edible mushroom Agrocybe aegerita.
The antitumour lectin from Agrocybe aegerita, named AAL, shows strong inhibition effects on human and mouse tumour cells via apoptosis induction activity. Recombinant AAL (rAAL) has been expressed and purified. Both rAAL and rAAL-lactose complex have been crystallized and their X-ray diffraction data were collected to resolutions of 1.9 A and 1.6 A, respectively. Both crystals belong to space g...
