Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of 5-Keto-d-gluconate reductase from Gluconobacter suboxydans IFO12528 complexed with 5-keto-d-gluconate and NADPH

Abstract

NADPH-dependent 5-keto-d-gluconate reductase from Gluconobacter suboxy-dans IFO12528 (5KGR) catalyzes oxidoreduction between 5-keto-d-gluconate and d-gluconate with high specificity. 5KGR was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized with 5-keto-d-gluconate and NADPH using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method at 288 K. A crystal of the 5KGR-NADPH complex was obtained using reservoir solution containing PEG 4000 as a precipitant and diffracted X-rays to 1.75 Å resolution. The crystal of the complex belonged to space group P42212, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 128.6, c = 62.9 Å. A crystal of the 5KGR-NADPH-5-keto-d-gluconate complex was prepared by soaking the 5KGR-NADPH complex crystal in reservoir solution supplemented with 100 mM 5-keto-d-gluconate and 10 mM NADPH for 20 min and diffracted X-rays to 2.26 Å resolution. The crystal of the ternary complex belonged to space group P42212, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 128.7, c = 62.5 Å. Both crystals contained two molecules in the asymmetric unit. © 2010 International Union of Crystallography. All rights reserved.
