The esterase Est8 from the thermophilic bacterium Bacillus sp. K91 belongs to the GDSL family and is active on a variety of acetylated compounds, including 7-aminocephalosporanic acid. In contrast to other esterases of the GDSL family, the catalytic residues Asp182 and His185 were more pivotal for the catalytic activity of Est8 than the Ser11 residue. To better understand the biochemical and enzymatic properties of Est8, recombinant Est8 protein was purified and crystallized. Crystals of Est8 were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using 2.0 M ammonium sulfate, 5%(v/v) 2-propanol as the crystallization solution. X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 2.30 Å with an R of 16.4% from a crystal belonging to space group P422 or P422, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 68.50, c = 79.57 Å.
嗜热芽孢杆菌Bacillus sp. K91中的酯酶Est8属于GDSL家族,对多种乙酰化化合物具有活性,包括7-氨基头孢烷酸。与GDSL家族的其他酯酶不同,催化残基Asp182和His185对Est8的催化活性比Ser11残基更为关键。为了更好地了解Est8的生化和酶学性质,对重组Est8蛋白进行了纯化和结晶。使用2.0 M硫酸铵、5%(v/v)异丙醇作为结晶溶液,通过悬滴气相扩散法获得了Est8晶体。从属于空间群P422或P422的晶体收集了分辨率为2.30 Å的X射线衍射数据,R值为16.4%,晶胞参数a = b = 68.50,c = 79.57 Å。
