A chitinase has been isolated and purified from Crocus vernus corms. N-terminal amino-acid sequence analysis of the approximately 30 kDa protein showed 33% identity to narbonin, a seed protein from Vicia narbonensis L. The C. vernus chitinase was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using PEG 8000 as the main precipitant. The crystal belonged to the monoclinic space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a=172.3, b=37.1, c=126.4 Å, β=127° and two molecules per asymmetric unit. Diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 2.1 Å.
已从番红花球茎中分离并纯化出一种几丁质酶。对这种约30 kDa的蛋白质进行N端氨基酸序列分析,结果显示其与来自窄叶野豌豆的种子蛋白narbonin有33%的同源性。采用悬滴气相扩散法,以聚乙二醇8000作为主要沉淀剂,使番红花几丁质酶结晶。该晶体属于单斜空间群C2,晶胞参数为a = 172.3、b = 37.1、c = 126.4 Å,β = 127°,每个不对称单元中有两个分子。收集到了分辨率为2.1 Å的衍射数据。
