Title: 3D structure elucidation of thermostable L2 lipase from Thermophilic Bacillus sp. L2 Rahman RNZRA, Shariff FM, Basri M, Salleh AB Ref: Int J Mol Sci, 13:9207, 2012 : PubMed
The crystallization of proteins makes it possible to determine their structure by X-ray crystallography, and is therefore important for the analysis of protein structure-function relationships. L2 lipase was crystallized by using the J-tube counter diffusion method. A crystallization consisting of 20% PEG 6000, 50 mM MES pH 6.5 and 50 mM NaCl was found to be the best condition to produce crystals with good shape and size (0.5 x 0.1 x 0.2 mm). The protein concentration used for the crystallization was 3 mg/mL. L2 lipase crystal has two crystal forms, Shape 1 and Shape 2. Shape 2 L2 lipase crystal was diffracted at 1.5 A and the crystal belongs to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 72.0, b = 81.8, c = 83.4 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees . There is one molecule per asymmetric unit and the solvent content of the crystals is 56.9%, with a Matthew's coefficient of 2.85 A Da(-1). The 3D structure of L2 lipase revealed topological organization of alpha/beta-hydrolase fold consisting of 11 beta-strands and 13 alpha-helices. Ser-113, His-358 and Asp-317 were assigned as catalytic triad residues. One Ca(2+) and one Zn(2+) were found in the L2 lipase molecule.
Title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of highly thermostable L2 lipase from the newly isolated Bacillus sp. L2 Shariff FM, Rahman RNZRA, Ali MSM, Chor AL, Basri M, Salleh AB Ref: Acta Crystallographica Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun, 66:715, 2010 : PubMed
Purified thermostable recombinant L2 lipase from Bacillus sp. L2 was crystallized by the counter-diffusion method using 20% PEG 6000, 50 mM MES pH 6.5 and 50 mM NaCl as precipitant. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.7 A resolution using an in-house Bruker X8 PROTEUM single-crystal diffractometer system. The crystal belonged to the primitive orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 87.44, b = 94.90, c = 126.46 A. The asymmetric unit contained one single molecule of protein, with a Matthews coefficient (V(M)) of 2.85 A(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 57%.
