Sulfotransferase STF1 from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv genome was overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffract to 1.5 A resolution using synchrotron radiation at SPring-8. The crystals are monoclinic and belong to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 40.86, b = 95.76, c = 48.04 A, beta = 106.43 degrees. The calculated Matthews coefficient is approximately 2.1 A3 Da(-1) assuming the presence of one molecule of STF1 in the asymmetric unit. A substrate-binding assay using a PAP-agarose column suggests that STF1 exhibits sulfotransferase activity.
结核分枝杆菌H37Rv基因组中的磺基转移酶STF1在大肠杆菌中过量表达,经纯化后采用悬滴气相扩散法进行结晶。利用SPring-8的同步辐射,晶体衍射分辨率达到1.5 Å。晶体为单斜晶系,属于空间群P2(1),晶胞参数a = 40.86、b = 95.76、c = 48.04 Å,β = 106.43°。假设不对称单元中存在一个STF1分子,计算得到的马修斯系数约为2.1 Å3 Da-1。使用PAP-琼脂糖柱进行的底物结合试验表明,STF1具有磺基转移酶活性。
