CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF BACILLUS PASTEURII UREE AT 1.7 A. TYPE II CRYSTAL FORM.
Overview
Bacillus pasteurii UreE (BpUreE) is a putative chaperone assisting the, insertion of Ni(2+) ions in the active site of urease. The x-ray structure, of the protein has been determined for two crystal forms, at 1.7 and 1.85, A resolution, using SIRAS phases derived from a Hg(2+)-derivative. BpUreE, is composed of distinct N- and C-terminal domains, connected by a short, flexible linker. The structure reveals the topology of an elongated, homodimer, formed by interaction of the two C-terminal domains through, hydrophobic interactions. A single Zn(2+) ion bound to four conserved, His-100 residues, one from each monomer, connects two dimers resulting in, a tetrameric BpUreE known to be formed in concentrated solutions. The, Zn(2+) ion can be replaced by Ni(2+) as shown by anomalous difference ... [(full description)]
