Enolase-phosphatase E1 (MASA) is a bifunctional enzyme in the ubiquitous methionine-salvage pathway and catalyzes the continuous reaction of 2,3-diketo-5-methylthio-1-phosphopentane to yield the acireductone metabolite. Recombinant human E1 enzyme has been crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method and diffraction-quality crystals were grown at 291 K using PEG 4000 as precipitant. Diffraction data were collected to 1.7 A resolution from SeMet-derivative crystals at 100 K using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 54.02, b = 57.55, c = 87.32 A. The structure was subsequently solved by the multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing method.
烯醇酶磷酸酶E1(MASA)是普遍存在的甲硫氨酸补救途径中的一种双功能酶,催化2,3-二酮-5-甲硫基-1-磷酸戊烷的连续反应以产生酸还原酮代谢物。已使用悬滴气相扩散法对重组人E1酶进行了结晶,并使用聚乙二醇4000作为沉淀剂在291 K下生长出了具有衍射质量的晶体。在100 K下使用同步辐射从SeMet衍生物晶体收集了分辨率为1.7 Å的衍射数据。晶体属于空间群P2(1)2(1)2(1),晶胞参数a = 54.02,b = 57.55,c = 87.32 Å。随后通过多波长反常衍射(MAD)相位法解析了其结构。
