    2.8.4.1 | ammonium sulfate precipitation, crystals of the inactive enzyme are obtained with PEG 550 monomethyl ether as precipitant. Diffraction data to 2.7 A resolution are collected from one crystal of methyl-coenzyme M reductase from Methanopyrus kandleri with a completeness of 63%. Due to the low completeness of the data, refinement of the structure is only possible constraining the 2-fold non-crystallographic symmetry of the methyl-coenzyme M reductase molecule. Comparison of crystal structures of methyl-coenzyme M reductase from Methanosarcina barkeri (growth temperature optimum, 37°C), Methanopyrus kandleri (growth temperature optimum, 98°C) and Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (growth temperature optimum, 65°C) |
| 2.8.4.1 | enzyme alone and in complex with substrates, sitting drop vapor diffusion method, using 100 mM Na-HEPES, pH 7.3-8.0, 150 mM magnesium acetate, and 20-22% (w/v) PEG 400 |
| 2.8.4.1 | hanging drop method, comparison of crystal structures of methyl-coenzyme M reductase from Methanosarcina barkeri (growth temperature optimum, 37°C), Methanopyrus kandleri (growth temperature optimum, 98°C) and Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (growth temperature optimum, 65°C) |
| 2.8.4.1 | hanging drop vapor diffusion method, crystal form M obtained with 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol grown within two months, form P grows from polyethylene glycol 400 within two weeks at 4°C, both crystal forms have one molecule per assymetric unit |
| 2.8.4.1 | sitting drop vapor diffusion method, using 25% (w/v) PEG 400, 0.1M Tris pH 8.5 and 0.2 M Li2SO4 |
| 2.8.4.1 | the crystal structures of methyl-coenzyme M reductase from Methanosarcina barkeri and Methanopyrus kandleri are determined and compared with the known structure of MCR from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum. The active sites of enzyme from Methanosarcina barkeri and Methanopyrus kandleri are almost identical to that of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum and predominantly occupied by coenzyme M and coenzyme B. Crystals of the inactive enzyme from Methanopyrus kandleri are obtained by hanging drop method with PEG 550 monomethylether as precipitant |
| 2.8.4.1 | the crystal structures of methyl-coenzyme M reductase from Methanosarcina barkeri and Methanopyrus kandleri are determined and compared with the known structure of MCR from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum. The active sites of enzyme from Methanosarcina barkeri and Methanopyrus kandleri are almost identical to that of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum and predominantly occupied by coenzyme M and coenzyme B. The electron density at 1.6 A resolution of the Methanosarcina barkeri enzyme reveals that four of the modified amino acid residues of enzyme from Methanopyrus thermoautotrophicum, namely a thiopeptide, an S-methylcysteine, a 1-N-methylhistidine and a 5-methylarginine are also present. Crystals of the enzyme from Methanosarcina barkeri are grown using a reservoir condition with PEG 5000 monomethylether as precipitant and glycerol as cryoprotectant |
