SurE is a stationary-phase survival protein found in bacteria, eukaryotes and archaea that exhibits a divalent-metal-ion-dependent phosphatase activity and acts as a nucleotidase and polyphosphate phosphohydrolase. The structure of the SurE protein from the hyperthermophile Aquifex aeolicus has been solved at 1.5 A resolution using molecular replacement with one dimer in the asymmetric unit and refined to an R factor of 15.6%. The crystal packing reveals that two dimers assemble to form a tetramer, although gel-filtration chromatography showed the presence of only a dimer in solution. The phosphatase active-site pocket was occupied by sulfate ions from the crystallization medium.
SurE是一种在细菌、真核生物和古细菌中发现的稳定期存活蛋白,具有二价金属离子依赖性磷酸酶活性,可作为核苷酸酶和多磷酸磷酸水解酶。嗜热栖热菌(Aquifex aeolicus)的SurE蛋白结构已通过分子置换法以1.5埃的分辨率解析,不对称单元中有一个二聚体,并精修至R因子为15.6%。晶体堆积显示两个二聚体组装形成一个四聚体,尽管凝胶过滤色谱显示溶液中仅存在一个二聚体。磷酸酶活性位点口袋被来自结晶介质的硫酸根离子占据。
