CyaY is a 106-residue protein from Escherichia coli. It shows amino-acid sequence similarity to human frataxin and a frataxin homologue in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yfh1p. The former is associated with the disease Friedreich ataxia and the latter plays a key role in iron homeostasis in mitochondria. CyaY has been overexpressed in soluble form in E. coli. The recombinant protein with a His(6) tag at its C-terminus has been crystallized at 296 K using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 as a precipitant. Native diffraction data have been collected to 1.8 A using Cu Kalpha X-rays. The crystals belong to the trigonal space group P3(1)21 (or P3(2)21), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 44.66, c = 99.87 A, alpha = beta = 90.0, gamma = 120.0 degrees. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of recombinant CyaY, with a corresponding V(m) of 2.13 A(3) Da(-1) and solvent content of 42.3%.
CyaY是一种来自大肠杆菌的由106个氨基酸残基组成的蛋白质。它与人类的frataxin以及酿酒酵母中的frataxin同源物Yfh1p在氨基酸序列上具有相似性。前者与弗里德赖希共济失调症有关,后者在线粒体铁稳态中起关键作用。CyaY已在大肠杆菌中以可溶形式过量表达。其C端带有His(6)标签的重组蛋白已在296 K下使用聚乙二醇(PEG)4000作为沉淀剂进行了结晶。使用Cu Kα X射线收集到了分辨率为1.8 Å的天然衍射数据。晶体属于三方晶系空间群P3(1)21(或P3(2)21),晶胞参数a = b = 44.66 Å,c = 99.87 Å,α = β = 90.0°,γ = 120.0°。不对称单元包含一个重组CyaY分子,相应的V(m)为2.13 ų Da⁻¹,溶剂含量为42.3%。
