A leucine-rich repeat plant protein involved in resistance to pathogens, a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP-1) from Phaseolus vulgaris, has been crystallized and preliminary X-ray characterization has been performed. The protein contains ten repeats of a short (24 amino-acid) leucine-rich repeat motif. Single crystals of the protein were grown from vapour-diffusion experiments using PEG 2K monomethylether as precipitant; these crystals diffract to at least 2.3 A resolution. The space group is P2(1), with two molecules of PGIP-1 in the asymmetric unit; the crystals contain approximately 38% solvent.
一种参与病原体抗性的富含亮氨酸重复序列的植物蛋白,即来自菜豆的多聚半乳糖醛酸酶抑制蛋白(PGIP-1),已被结晶,并进行了初步的X射线表征。该蛋白包含十个短(24个氨基酸)富含亮氨酸重复基序的重复序列。使用聚乙二醇2K单甲醚作为沉淀剂,通过气相扩散实验生长出该蛋白的单晶;这些晶体的衍射分辨率至少为2.3埃。空间群为P2(1),不对称单元中有两个PGIP-1分子;晶体含有约38%的溶剂。
