A recombinant form of the CTP synthetase from Thermus thermophilus HB8 (tCTPs) was grown as colourless crystals by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique using ammonium sulfate or sodium citrate as a precipitating agent. The crystals belong to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 88.2, b = 118.9, c = 142.7 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees, and are most likely to contain a monomer in the asymmetric unit with a V(M) value of 3.07 A(3) Da(-1). The crystals obtained from ammonium sulfate and sodium citrate solutions diffract X-rays to a resolution of 2.25 A using synchrotron X-ray sources and to a resolution of 2.35 A using Cu Kalpha X-rays from a rotating-anode generator.
嗜热栖热菌HB8(tCTPs)的重组CTP合成酶通过悬滴气相扩散技术,以硫酸铵或柠檬酸钠作为沉淀剂,生长出无色晶体。这些晶体属于空间群I222,晶胞参数a = 88.2,b = 118.9,c = 142.7 Å,α = β = γ = 90°,并且在不对称单元中很可能包含一个单体,V(M)值为3.07 ų Da⁻¹。使用同步辐射X射线源时,从硫酸铵和柠檬酸钠溶液中获得的晶体将X射线衍射到2.25 Å的分辨率,使用旋转阳极发生器产生的Cu Kα X射线时,衍射分辨率为2.35 Å。
