Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ygr203p, a homologue of Acr2 arsenate reductase

Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 2000 Jun;56(Pt 6):778-80. doi: 10.1107/s0907444900005278.

Abstract

Ygr203p, a 148-residue protein encoded by the ygr203w gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a homologue of the yeast Acr2 arsenate reductase encoded by the acr2 (or ypr200c) gene. It also shows significant sequence similarity to the human cell-cycle control Cdc25 phosphatase family. It has been overexpressed in soluble form in Escherichia coli with a His(6) tag at its C-terminus. The recombinant protein has been crystallized at 296 K using sodium chloride as precipitant. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 40.48, b = 50.95, c = 91.95 A. The asymmetric unit contains a monomer, giving a crystal volume per protein mass (V(m)) of 2.61 A(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 53.8%. The crystals diffract to better than 1.9 A resolution with Cu Kalpha X-rays. They are therefore suitable for high-resolution structure determination.
