The regulatory domain (PA3346RS), comprising the receiver and stalk domains, of the response regulator PA3346 requires phosphorylation for activation with magnesium ions as cofactors in order to modulate the downstream protein phosphatase activity for the regulation of swarming motility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Fusion‐tagged recombinant PA3346RS of total molecular mass 25.3 kDa has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified using Ni2+–NTA and Q‐Sepharose ion‐exchange columns and crystallized using the hanging‐drop vapour‐diffusion method. X‐ray diffraction data were collected from PA3346RS crystals to 2.0 Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space group P41 or P43, with unit‐cell parameters a = 82.38, c = 73.34 Å. Preliminary analysis indicated the presence of a dimer of PA3346RS in the asymmetric unit, with a solvent content of 48.6%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
