The calcium-sensitive, membrane-binding annexin, p68, has been crystallized from solutions of polyethylene glycol and ammonium sulfate. Our electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction data indicate that p68 crystals are tetragonal, in space group P4(1), and have unit cell dimensions of a = b = 68.4 A and c = 209.6 A. The mechanism of crystallization from polyethylene glycol involves a transition from a paracrystalline form to ordered crystals by lateral reordering of chains of molecules extended along the c axis. These chains are directional and might reflect a mechanism whereby the two different ends of (chains of) the p68 molecules interact with different membranes.
对钙敏感的膜结合膜联蛋白p68已从聚乙二醇和硫酸铵溶液中结晶出来。我们的电子显微镜和X射线衍射数据表明,p68晶体为四方晶系,空间群为P4(1),晶胞参数为a = b = 68.4 Å,c = 209.6 Å。从聚乙二醇中结晶的机制涉及从准晶形式通过沿c轴延伸的分子链的侧向重排转变为有序晶体。这些链是有方向性的,可能反映了一种机制,即p68分子(链)的两个不同末端与不同的膜相互作用。
