    Notes: Human lactoferrin (hLf) has considerable potential as a therapeutic agent. Overexpression of hLf in the fungus Aspergillus awamori has resulted in the availability of very large quantities of this protein. Here, the three-dimensional structure of the recombinant hLf has been determined by X-ray crystallography at a resolution of 2.2 Å. The final model, comprising 5339 protein atoms (residues 1–691, 294 solvent molecules, two Fe3+and two CO_3^{2-} ions), gives an R factor of 0.181 (free R = 0.274) after refinement against 32231 reflections in the resolution range 10–2.2 Å. Superposition of the recombinant hLf structure onto the native milk hLf structure shows a very high level of correspondence; the main-chain atoms for the entire polypeptide can be superimposed with an r.m.s. deviation of only 0.3 Å and there are no significant differences in side-chain conformations or in the iron-binding sites. Dynamic properties, as measured by B-value distributions or iron-release kinetics, also agree closely. This shows that the structure of the protein is not affected by the mode of expression, the use of strain-improvement procedures or the changes in glycosylation due to the fungal system.

    Notes: The iron-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from Zymomonas mobilis has been crystallized in a form suitable for X-ray diffraction studies. The crystals grew in hanging drops by vapor diffusion, equilibrating with a solution comprising 25–27% methoxypolyethylene glycol 5000 and 1 mM Co2+ in a 0.2 M succinic acid/potassium hydroxide buffer at pH 5.5–5.7 at 281 K. Crystals are tetragonal, P4122 (or P4322), with unit-cell dimensions a = b = 125.7, c = 248.1 Å. Four molecules comprise the asymmetric unit, and a self-rotation function indicates twofold local symmetry perpendicular to the unique axis and 15° from a crystallographic twofold axis. Diffraction data to 3.0 Å have been collected.

    Notes: The NAD(P)-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase from Pyrococcus furiosus has been crystallized by the hanging-drop method of vapour diffusion using lithium sulfate as the precipitant. The crystals belong to the tetragonal system and are in space group P42212 with unit-cell dimensions of a = b = 167.2, c = 172.9 Å. Consideration of the values of Vm and possible packing of the molecules within the cell suggest that the asymmetric unit contains a trimer. P. furiosus belongs to the family of Archaea and is one of the most thermostable organisms known, having an optimal growth temperature of 376 K. The glutamate dehydrogenase isolated from this organism has a half-life of 12 h at 373 K and, therefore, the determination of the structure of this enzyme will be important in advancing our understanding of how proteins are adapted to enable them to survive at such extreme temperatures.

    Notes: The structure of cytochrome c′ from two bacterial species, Alcaligenes sp and Alcaligenes denitrificans, have been determined from X-ray diffraction data to 3.0 Å resolution using the anomalous scattering of the single Fe atom in each to identify and refine a weak molecular-replacement solution. Molecular-replacement studies, with the program AMORE, used two isomorphous data sets (from the two species), two independent search models (the cytochromes c′ from Rhodospirillum molischianum and Rhodospirillum rubrum), both with and without side chains, and two different resolution ranges (10.0–4.0 and 15.0–3.5Å) to generate a large number of potential solutions. No single solution stood out and none appeared consistently. The Fe-atom position in each structure was then determined from its anomalous-scattering contribution and all molecular- replacement solutions were discarded which did not (i) place the Fe atom correctly and (ii) orient the molecule such that a crystallographic twofold axis generated a dimer like those of the two search models. Finally, electron-density maps phased solely by the Fe-atom anomalous scattering were calculated. As these were combined and subjected to solvent flattening and histogram matching (with the program SQUASH), correlation with the remaining molecular-replacement solutions identified one as correct and enabled it to be improved and subjected to preliminary refinement. The correctness of the solution is confirmed by parallel isomorphous-replacement studies.

    Notes: Two crystal forms of component 1 (the MoFe protein) of nitrogenase from Klebsiella pneumoniae have been isolated and characterized. The triclinic form has cell dimensions a = 76.0, b = 109.6, c = 144.6 Å, α = 80.3, β = 74.9 and γ = 69.6°, diffracts to around 3.0 Å and has two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The monoclinic form belongs to space group P21 with a = 76.6, b = 127.8, c = 109.1 Å and β = 104.6° (frozen at 100 K), diffracts to 1.5 Å and has one molecule in the asymmetric unit. At this resolution the outstanding questions concerning the structure and the operation of the enzyme, in particular the linkage between the Fe4S4 units in the P clusters, the true geometry of the apparently trigonal Fe atoms in the FeMoco and the reduction site itself, should be answerable.

    Notes: The NAD+-dependent phenylalanine dehydrogenase from Nocardia sp239 has been crystallized by the hanging-drop method of vapour diffusion using ammonium sulfate as the precipitant. Two crystal forms were obtained in the presence and absence of the enzyme substrates phenylpyruvic acid or phenylalanine and its coenzyme NADH. Crystals of the native protein belong to the hexagonal system, with the space group being one of the enantiomorphic pair P6122 or P6522. The cell dimensions are a = b = 111.0, c = 174.5 Å, α = β = 90 and γ = 120°. Crystals grown from the protein co-crystallized with its substrates all belong to the trigonal system, space group P3121 or P3221, with unit-cell dimensions of a = b = 88.1 , c = 112.6 Å, α = β = 90 and γ = 120°. Preliminary protein-sequencing experiments have established that this enzyme is related to the octameric PheDH's which are members of the wider superfamily of amino-acid dehydrogenases. However, gel-filtration studies suggest that this enzyme is active as a monomer. The full determination of the three-dimensional structure of this phenylalanine dehydrogenase will add to the understanding of the molecular basis of the differential substrate specificity within this enzyme superfamily. In turn this will contribute to the rational design of an amino-acid dehydrogenase which could be used for the diagnosis of phenylketonuria and for the chiral synthesis of high-value pharmaceuticals.

    Notes: A thermostable hexameric arginase purified from the extreme thermophile Bacillus caldevelox has been crystallized from Hepes buffer at pH 7.5 in the presence of 12% polyethylene glycol 4000 and 10% 2-propanol, and from cacodylate buffer at pH 7.2 in the presence of 15% 2-propanol and sodium citrate. The latter crystals are more suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals are in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with unit-cell dimensions a = 156.3, b = 148.0 and c = 85.4 Å. The asymmetric unit contains one hexamer (approximate molecular mass 183 kDa) and has a solvent content of approximately 54%. The crystals diffract to 2.8 Å resolution.

    Notes: The three-dimensional structure of the diferric form of human lactoferrin has been refined at 2.2 Å resolution, using synchrotron data combined with a lower resolution (3.2 Å) diffractometer data set. Following restrained least-squares refinement and model rebuilding the final model comprises 5330 protein atoms (691 residues), 2Fe3+ and 2CO32− ions, 469 solvent molecules and 98 carbohydrate atoms (eight sugar residues). Root-mean-square deviations from standard geometry are 0.015 Å for bond lengths and 0.038 Å for angle (1–3) distances, and the final crystallographic R-factor is 0.179 for all 39 113 reflections in the resolution range 8.0–2.2 Å. A close structural similarity is seen between the two lobes of the molecule, with differences mainly in loops and turns. The two binding sites are extremely similar, the only apparent differences being a slightly more asymmetric bidentate binding of the carbonate ion to the metal, and a slightly longer Fe—O bond to one of the Tyr ligands, in the N-lobe site relative to the C-lobe site. Distinct differences are seen in the interactions made by two cationic groups, Arg210 and Lys546, behind the iron site, and these may influence the stability of the two metal sites. Analysis of interdomain and interlobe interactions shows that these are few in number which is consistent with the known flexibility of the molecule with respect to domain and lobe movements. Internal water molecules are found in discrete sites and in two large clusters (in the two interdomain clefts) and one tightly bound water molecule is present 3.8 Å from the Fe atom in each lobe. The carbohydrate is weakly defined and has been modelled to a limited extent; two sugar residues of the N-lobe glycan and six of the C-lobe glycan. Only one direct protein-carbohydrate contact can be found.
