Notes:
Clostridium pasteurianum carries three genes termed mopI, II and III encoding three molbindin isoforms, one of which has been cloned, the gene product expressed in high yield and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Well ordered monoclinic crystals in two different crystal forms, both with space group C2, were obtained in the presence and absence of Na2MoO4 and Na2WO4. Ligand-bound MopII crystallized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 as a precipitant, whereas apo MopII required PEG 6000. High-resolution diffraction data were collected for ligand-bound MopII structures using synchrotron radiation to 1.8 and 1.6 Å resolution for the molybdate and tungstate complexes, respectively. Data were collected on apoMopII crystals to a resolution of 1.8 Å in-house.
