Orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) decarboxylase (OMPDC; EC 4.1.1.23) catalyzes the final step in the de novo synthesis of uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) and defects in the enzyme are lethal in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Active recombinant P. falciparum OMPDC (PfOMPDC) was crystallized by the seeding method in a hanging drop using PEG 3000 as a precipitant. A complete set of diffraction data from a native crystal was collected to 2.7 A resolution at 100 K using synchrotron radiation at the Swiss Light Source. The crystal exhibits trigonal symmetry (space group R3), with hexagonal unit-cell parameters a = b = 201.81, c = 44.03 A. With a dimer in the asymmetric unit, the solvent content is 46% (V(M) = 2.3 A3 Da(-1)).
乳清苷5'-单磷酸(OMP)脱羧酶(OMPDC;EC 4.1.1.23)催化尿苷5'-单磷酸(UMP)从头合成的最后一步,该酶的缺陷在恶性疟原虫中是致命的。活性重组恶性疟原虫OMPDC(PfOMPDC)通过接种法在悬滴中使用聚乙二醇3000作为沉淀剂进行结晶。在瑞士光源处使用同步辐射在100 K下收集了来自天然晶体的完整衍射数据,分辨率达到2.7 Å。该晶体呈现三方对称(空间群R3),六方晶胞参数a = b = 201.81,c = 44.03 Å。在不对称单元中有一个二聚体,溶剂含量为46%(V(M) = 2.3 Å3 Da(-1))。
