Human NUDT16, a decapping enzyme belonging to the Nudix superfamily, plays a pivotal role in U8 snoRNA stability. Recombinant NUDT16 expressed in Escherichia coli was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals, which diffracted to 2.10 A resolution, belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 44.47, b = 79.32, c = 97.20 A. The Matthews coefficient and the solvent content were calculated to be 1.92 A(3) Da(-1) and 35.84%, respectively, for two molecules per asymmetric unit.
人NUDT16是一种属于Nudix超家族的去帽酶,在U8小核仁RNA(snoRNA)稳定性中起关键作用。采用悬滴气相扩散法使在大肠杆菌中表达的重组NUDT16结晶。这些晶体的衍射分辨率为2.10 Å,属于空间群P2(1)2(1)2(1),晶胞参数a = 44.47、b = 79.32、c = 97.20 Å。对于每个不对称单元中的两个分子,计算得到的马修斯系数和溶剂含量分别为1.92 Å(3) Da(-1)和35.84%。
