UVA Progress in WhoVille
Surface Entropy ReductionAlters surface features that inhibit crystallization. • Large, flexible residues on the surface can inhibit crystallization. • Lysines and Glutamates are primarily responsible for an “entropy shield” Lysine Glutamate Rotamers Rotamers Candidate Proteins: • Soluble and purify well. • Difficult to crystallize or diffract poorly. • Contain a cluster of highly-entropic residues. • Don’t have other problems.
Streamlining our Pipeline • Using Google Calendar to schedule equipment. • Using Google Docs and Spreadsheets to track target progress. • Will be linked to ISFI website and TargetDB
Streamlining our Pipeline Protein Expression Highlights • Using Pepsi Bottles doubles shaker space • Now 9 proteins a day capacity • We get ours free from the local Pepsi Bottling Plant! • Lining centrifuge bottles with zipper bags (Dramatically reduces harvesting time) • Growth and harvesting are done by a 2 person team (Reduces demand on 1 individual.) • Custom Web Interface for Akta Prime Systems http://ginsberg.med.virginia.edu/akta.html
Streamlining our Pipeline Crystallization • Alternate reservoir and standard screening by default. • Mosquito Crystallization Robot for screening. • Custom BioRobot3000 application with web interface: Crystallization Grid Screen Generator http://ginsberg.med.virginia.edu/grid.html Can be used as a calculator for manual pipetting, too.

Tm0439 1A – Data collected
Tm0439 – C terminal Domain ~90° The C-terminal domain has some internal symmetry that may complicate MR.
Tm0439 There is a lot of variation of the relative orientations of the two domains within the family. I have tried all MR with complete models (unmodified and alanine-only models), with the N- and C- terminus independently and at the same time, and with multiple models for one “ensemble” in Phaser. I still think a solution is possible, but lets just proceed with some SeMet.

APC1446 – hypothetical protein of unknown function 144 sequences, primarily from Bacteroidetes and Bacillales identified using BLAST Prediction by 3D Jury suggests similarity to thioredoxins and related protein, but the J-score is below the suggested threshold of significance
APC 1446 has an unusual putative active site sequence V V V N S V C G _C A A
SER server predicts only three suitable sites AA A YY Y AA YY AA YY
APC1446 crystallizes with four molecules in the asymmetric unit, generating a non-crystallographic two-fold
The four molecules in the AU are virtually identical A B C D
Only one of the several crystal contacts appears to be mediated by the mutated patch
