Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) as an N-terminal histidine-tagged ubiquitin fusion protein using the high-level expression vector pHUE Synechococcus sp.

Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
sitting drop vapor diffusion method at 16°C. The crystal structure of CrtE solved to a resolution of 2.7 A reveals a strong structural similarity to the large subunit of the heterodimeric geranylgeranylpyrophosphate synthase 1 from Arabidopsis thaliana with each subunit containing 14 helices Synechococcus sp.

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
M87A mutant enzyme produces the longer C25-geranylfarnesyl pyrophosphate product Synechococcus sp.
M87F the mutant enzyme can only generate C15-farnesyl pyrophosphate Synechococcus sp.
M87F the mutant enzyme can only generate farnesyl diphosphate, indicating that residues with large side chains obstruct product elongation Synechococcus sp.
S88Y the mutant enzyme can only generate C15-farnesyl pyrophosphate Synechococcus sp.
S88Y the mutant enzyme can only generate farnesyl diphosphate, indicating that residues with large side chains obstruct product elongation Synechococcus sp.
V161M the mutant enzyme, similar amounts of farnesyl diphosphate and geranylgeranyl diphosphate are produced and there is no evidence for formation of geranyl diphosphate Synechococcus sp.
