4.1.1.11 - 4.1.1.11 both apo form and in complex with isoasparagine 4.1.1.11 co-crystallization of fully activated PanD and PanZ in complex, in a 10:11 PanD:PanZ ratio (protomer to monomer), hanging drop vapor diffusion method, mixing of 0.003 ml of 9 mg/ml protein in 50 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, and 0.1 mM DTT, pH 7.5, with 00.001 ml of reservoir solution containing 200 mM KSCN, 100 mM Bis-Tris propane, pH 6.5, and 20% w/v PEG 3350 at 18°C, X-ray diffraction structure determination and analysis at 1.16 A resolution. The same structure is observed using both room-temperature and cryo-cooled crystals, indicating that the hydrate is formed from the pyruvoyl cofactor and is not an intermediate in the activation reaction. This state is stabilized by a hydrogen bond to the amide of Gly24, which is held in place by interactions with PanZ 4.1.1.11 crystal structure at 2.2.
