Abstract

Recombinant purine nucleoside phosphorylase from the thermophilic Thermus thermophilus strain encoded by the TT_C0194 gene was purified to homogeneity. The crystallization conditions for the enzyme were found by the vapor-diffusion technique. The crystals of the enzyme suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown under microgravity conditions by the capillary counter-diffusion method. The crystals belong to sp. gr. P212121 and have the following unit-cell parameters: a = 89.9 Å, b = 121.0 Å, c = 215.7 Å, α = β = γ = 90°. The X-ray diffraction data set suitable for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of purine nucleoside phosphorylase was collected from the grown crystals at the SPring-8 synchrotron facility to 2.5 Å resolution.
