Methylthioribose-1-phosphate isomerase (MtnA) from Bacillus subtilis, the first enzyme in the downstream section of the methionine-salvage pathway, was crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. Crystals grew using ammonium sulfate as the precipitant at 293 K. They diffracted to 2.5 A at 100 K using synchrotron radiation and were found to belong to the tetragonal space group P4(1), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 69.2, c = 154.7 A. The asymmetric unit contains two molecules of MtnA, with a VM value of 2.4 A3 Da(-1) and a solvent content of 48%.
来自枯草芽孢杆菌的甲基硫代核糖-1-磷酸异构酶(MtnA)是甲硫氨酸补救途径下游部分的首个酶,采用坐滴气相扩散法进行了结晶。在293 K下使用硫酸铵作为沉淀剂晶体生长。在100 K下使用同步辐射它们的衍射分辨率达到2.5 Å,并且发现属于四方晶系空间群P4(1),晶胞参数a = b = 69.2,c = 154.7 Å。不对称单元包含两个MtnA分子,VM值为2.4 Å3 Da(-1),溶剂含量为48%。
