PACSIN 1, which is mainly detected in brain tissue, is one of the PACSIN-family proteins involved in endocytosis and recruitment of synaptic vesicles. It binds to dynamin, synaptojanin 1 and N-WASP, and functions in vesicle formation and transport. However, the mechanisms of action of PACSIN 1 in these processes are largely unknown. Here, full-length and five C-terminal truncation constructs of human PACSIN 1 have been successfully expressed and purified in Escherichia coli. PACSIN 1 (1-344) was crystallized and diffracted to a resolution of 3.0 A. The crystal belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 158.65, b = 87.38, c = 91.76 A, alpha = 90.00, beta = 113.61, gamma = 90.00 degrees . There were two molecules in the asymmetric unit and the solvent content was estimated to be about 70.47%.
PACSIN 1主要在脑组织中被检测到,是参与内吞作用和突触小泡募集的PACSIN家族蛋白之一。它与发动蛋白、突触素1和N-WASP结合,并在囊泡形成和运输中发挥作用。然而,PACSIN 1在这些过程中的作用机制在很大程度上尚不清楚。在这里,人PACSIN 1的全长和五个C末端截短构建体已在大肠杆菌中成功表达和纯化。PACSIN 1(1-344)结晶并衍射至3.0埃的分辨率。晶体属于空间群C2,晶胞参数为a = 158.65,b = 87.38,c = 91.76埃,α = 90.00,β = 113.61,γ = 90.00度。不对称单元中有两个分子,溶剂含量估计约为70.47%。
