p40(phox) is a cytosolic component of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase, which is responsible for production of the superoxide that kills invasive microorganisms. Full-length p40(phox) was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method at 293 K using polyethylene glycol 20,000 as a precipitant. Diffraction data were collected to 3.0 A resolution at 100 K using synchrotron radiation. The crystal belongs to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 146.27, b = 189.81, c = 79.88 A. This crystal was estimated to contain two or three protein molecules per asymmetric unit from the acceptable range of volume-to-weight ratio values.
p40(phox)是吞噬细胞NADPH氧化酶的一种胞质成分,该氧化酶负责产生杀死入侵微生物的超氧化物。全长p40(phox)在大肠杆菌中表达,经纯化后,于293 K采用坐滴气相扩散法,以聚乙二醇20000作为沉淀剂进行结晶。利用同步辐射在100 K下收集到分辨率为3.0 Å的衍射数据。晶体属于空间群C222(1),晶胞参数a = 146.27、b = 189.81、c = 79.88 Å。根据体积与重量比值的可接受范围估计,该晶体每个不对称单位包含两个或三个蛋白质分子。
