Vinorine synthase (VS) is a central enzyme of the biosynthesis of the antiarrhythmic drug ajmaline and is a member of the BAHD superfamily of acyltransferases. So far, no three-dimensional structure with significant sequence homology with VS is known. Crystals of VS and selenomethionyl-labelled VS from the medicinal plant Rauvolfia serpentina have been obtained by the hanging-drop technique at 305 K with ammonium sulfate and PEG 400 as precipitants. VS crystals diffract to 2.8 A and belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 82.3, b = 89.6, c = 136.2 A. The selenomethionyl VS crystal was nearly isomorphous with the VS crystal.
长春花宁合酶(VS)是抗心律失常药物阿吗灵生物合成的关键酶,属于BAHD酰基转移酶超家族成员。到目前为止,尚未发现与VS具有显著序列同源性的三维结构。通过悬滴法,以硫酸铵和聚乙二醇400作为沉淀剂,在305 K温度下,从药用植物蛇根木中获得了VS晶体以及硒代甲硫氨酸标记的VS晶体。VS晶体的衍射分辨率达到2.8 Å,属于空间群P2(1)2(1)2(1),晶胞参数为a = 82.3 Å、b = 89.6 Å、c = 136.2 Å。硒代甲硫氨酸标记的VS晶体与VS晶体几乎同晶型。
