Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
purified recombinant N-terminally His-tagged TUT4, free or with bound 2'-deoxyribonucleoside, at a concentration of 10 mg/mL in 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.6, 70 mM KCl, 0.5 mM DTT, and in presence of 4 mM MgCl2 and 0.05 mM UTP, screening with commercial crystallization screens, vapor diffusion technique, 4°C, cryoprotection by 15% glycerol, X-ray diffraction structure determination and analysis at 2.0-2.4 A resolution Trypanosoma brucei
small plate-like co-crystals of purified recombinant N-terminally His-tagged TbTUT4 and UTP grow in 100 mM sodium cacodylate (pH 6.5), 200 mM calcium acetate, 18% (w/v) PEG-8000, crystal structure reveals two significantly different conformations of this TUTase:one molecule is in a relatively open apo confirmation, whereas the other displays a more compact TUTase-UTP complex Trypanosoma brucei

More TbTUT4 represents a minimal catalytically active RNA uridylyltransferase consisting of only two domains that define the catalytic center at the bottom of the nucleoside triphosphate and RNA substrate binding cleft. The enzyme shows two significantly different conformations: one molecule is in a relatively open apo conformation, whereas the other displays a more compact TUTase-UTP complex, structure-function analysis, overview Trypanosoma brucei
