an exposed and largely alpha-helical 30-residue sequence, with a net positive charge and several aromatic amino acids, is the putative membrane-interacting region of WaaG. In the presence of dodecylphosphocholine, the membrane-interacting region adopts a three-dimensional structure remarkably similar to the segment in the crystal structure. The interaction of WaaG is conferred at least in part by the membrane-interacting region and electrostatic interactions play a key role in binding. During anchoring of WaaG to the inner membrane of Escherichia coli, the central part of membrane-interacting region inserts into one leaflet of the bilayer. In this model, electrostatic interactions as well as surface-exposed Tyr residues bind WaaG to the membrane
crystals of the enzyme and of its selenomethionine derivative are grown in 0.1 M MES (pH 6.75), 0.2 M NaBr, and 15% PEG 3350 at a protein concentration of 10 mg/ml. Microseeding is necessary to achieve reproducibility of the crystals. Crystals of the complex of the enzyme with UDP-2F-glucose are prepared by addition of 10 mM UDP-2F-glucose to the protein solution prior to crystallization. The structure of the enzyme is solved by single-wavelength anomalous dispersion with a selenomethionine version of the protein, at a resolution of 1.6 A, in the presence of UDP
