Pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) from Methanosarcina mazei was overexpressed in an N-terminally truncated form PylRS(c270) in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol as a precipitant. The native PylRS(c270) crystals in complex with an ATP analogue belonged to space group P6(4), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 104.88, c = 70.43 A, alpha = beta = 90, gamma = 120 degrees , and diffracted to 1.9 A resolution. The asymmetric unit contains one molecule of PylRS(c270). Selenomethionine-substituted protein crystals were prepared in order to solve the structure by the MAD phasing method.
来自马氏甲烷八叠球菌的吡咯赖氨酰 - tRNA合成酶(PylRS)以N端截短形式PylRS(c270)在大肠杆菌中过表达,纯化至同质,并使用聚乙二醇作为沉淀剂通过悬滴气相扩散法结晶。与ATP类似物复合的天然PylRS(c270)晶体属于空间群P6(4),晶胞参数a = b = 104.88,c = 70.43 Å,α = β = 90,γ = 120°,衍射分辨率达到1.9 Å。不对称单元包含一个PylRS(c270)分子。制备了硒代甲硫氨酸取代的蛋白质晶体,以便通过MAD相位法解析结构。
