Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of D53H mutant Escherichia coli cAMP receptor protein.

The Escherichia coli cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) is a prokaryotic global transcription activator protein that controls the expression of many different genes. Wild-type CRP can bind to special DNA sequences in the presence of cAMP. The substitution of Asp53 by His results in the CRP* phenotype, which does not require exogenous cAMP. In the present study, the D53H CRP mutant was overexpressed, purified and crystallized. cAMP-free D53H CRP crystals were obtained and diffracted to a resolution of 2.9 Å. Based on the systematic absences of the crystals, the space group is likely to be P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 76.66, b = 152.14, c = 176.11 Å. The asymmetric unit was confirmed to contain four protein dimers, with a Matthews coefficient of 2.71 Å(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 54.68%.
