6-Pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase from E. coli (ePTPS) has been crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Hexagonal- and rectangular-shaped crystals were obtained. Diffraction data were collected from the hexagonal and rectangular crystals to 3.0 and 2.3 A resolution, respectively. The hexagonal plate-shaped crystals belonged to space group P321, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 112.59, c = 68.82 A , and contained two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The rectangular crystals belonged to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 112.76, b = 117.66, c = 153.57 A , and contained six molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure of ePTPS in both crystal forms has been determined by molecular replacement.
利用悬滴气相扩散法使来自大肠杆菌的6-丙酮酰四氢蝶呤合酶(ePTPS)结晶。获得了六边形和矩形晶体。分别从六边形和矩形晶体收集到分辨率为3.0 Å和2.3 Å的衍射数据。六边形板状晶体属于空间群P321,晶胞参数a = b = 112.59,c = 68.82 Å,不对称单位中含有两个分子。矩形晶体属于空间群I222,晶胞参数a = 112.76,b = 117.66,c = 153.57 Å,不对称单位中含有六个分子。两种晶体形式的ePTPS结构均已通过分子置换法确定。
