MutM protein, which removes the oxidatively damaged DNA base product, 8-oxoguanine (GO), has been crystallized by means of a hanging-drop vapor-diffusion procedure using polyethyleneglycol monomethylether 2000 as a precipitant in 2-(cyclohexylamino) ethanesulfonic acid (CHES) buffer, pH 9.8. The diffraction data derived from oscillation photographs indicate that the crystals belong to the monoclinic system and space group P2(1). The crystals have unit-cell dimensions of a = 45.4 A, b = 62.0 A, c = 99.7 A, and beta = 90.8 degrees. Assuming that the asymmetric unit contains two molecules, the Vm value was calculated to be 2.35 A(3).Da(-1). The crystals diffracted X-rays to at least 2.1 A resolution and were suitable for high-resolution X-ray crystal structure determination.
MutM蛋白可去除经氧化损伤的DNA碱基产物8-氧代鸟嘌呤(GO),该蛋白已通过悬滴气相扩散法进行结晶,使用聚乙二醇单甲醚2000作为沉淀剂,在pH值为9.8的2-(环己基氨基)乙烷磺酸(CHES)缓冲液中进行。从振荡照片获得的衍射数据表明,晶体属于单斜晶系,空间群为P2(1)。晶体的晶胞参数为a = 45.4 Å,b = 62.0 Å,c = 99.7 Å,β = 90.8°。假设不对称单位包含两个分子,计算得到的Vm值为2.35 Å(3).Da(-1)。这些晶体对X射线的衍射分辨率至少为2.1 Å,适合进行高分辨率X射线晶体结构测定。
