Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) has been crystallized in 2 forms. Orthorhombic crystals, space group P2(1)2(1)2, diffracted to 2.8 A and have cell dimensions a = 39.1 A, b = 54.0 A, and c = 65.5 A. The second form is space group P4(3)2(1)2, with cell dimensions a = b = 67.1 A, and c = 107.9 A. The tetragonal crystals diffract to 2.8 A at room temperature and 2.5 A at -100 degrees C. The unit cell dimensions change significantly upon freezing, a = b = 66.1 A, and c = 102.8 A. Phases for the orthorhombic form were obtained by molecular replacement using nerve growth factor as the search model. A partially refined model of the NT-3 dimer (75% complete) was then oriented and positioned in the tetragonal cell.
神经营养因子-3(NT-3)已形成两种晶体形式。正交晶体,空间群P2(1)2(1)2,衍射极限为2.8 Å,晶胞参数a = 39.1 Å,b = 54.0 Å,c = 65.5 Å。第二种形式是空间群P4(3)2(1)2,晶胞参数a = b = 67.1 Å,c = 107.9 Å。四方晶体在室温下衍射极限为2.8 Å,在-100℃时为2.5 Å。冷冻后晶胞参数发生显著变化,a = b = 66.1 Å,c = 102.8 Å。正交形式的相位通过以神经生长因子为搜索模型的分子置换获得。然后将NT-3二聚体的部分精修模型(完成75%)在四方晶胞中进行定向和定位。
