The sulfurtransferase 4-thiouridine synthetase (ThiI) is involved in the ATP-dependent modification of U8 in tRNA. ThiI from Thermotoga maritima was cloned, overexpressed and purified. A complex comprising ThiI and a truncated tRNA was prepared and crystallized, and X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 3.5 Å. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 102.9, b = 112.8, c = 132.8 Å.
硫转移酶4-硫尿苷合成酶(ThiI)参与了tRNA中U8的ATP依赖性修饰。克隆、过量表达并纯化了来自嗜热栖热菌的ThiI。制备并结晶了包含ThiI和截短tRNA的复合物,并收集了分辨率为3.5 Å的X射线衍射数据。晶体属于正交空间群P212121,晶胞参数为a = 102.9、b = 112.8、c = 132.8 Å。
