Juvenile hormone-binding protein (JHBP) and the low-molecular-mass lipoprotein PBMHP-12 belong to a group of 30 kDa proteins that comprise the major protein component of the haemolymph specific to the fifth-instar larvae stage of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori L. Proteins from this group are often essential for the development of the insect. In a project aimed at crystallographic characterization of B. mori JHBP (BmJHBP), it was copurified together with PBMHP-12. Eventually, the two proteins were isolated and crystallized separately. The BmJHBP crystals were orthorhombic (space group C222(1)) and the PBMHP-12 crystals were triclinic. The crystals diffracted X-rays to 2.9 Å (BmJHBP) and 1.3 Å (PBMHP-12) resolution.
保幼激素结合蛋白(JHBP)和低分子量脂蛋白PBMHP - 12属于一组30 kDa的蛋白质,它们构成了家蚕(Bombyx mori L.)五龄幼虫阶段血淋巴中的主要蛋白质成分。该组蛋白质通常对昆虫发育至关重要。在一个旨在对家蚕JHBP(BmJHBP)进行晶体学表征的项目中,它与PBMHP - 12一起被共纯化。最终,这两种蛋白质被分别分离并结晶。BmJHBP晶体为正交晶系(空间群C222(1)),PBMHP - 12晶体为三斜晶系。这些晶体将X射线衍射至2.9 Å(BmJHBP)和1.3 Å(PBMHP - 12)的分辨率。
