Crystal Structure of Mg2+ Containing Hemopexin-Fold Protein from Kabuli Chana (Chickpea-White, CW-25) at 2.45 Å Resolution Reveals Its Metal Ion Transport Property
Abstract:Plant seeds contain a number of proteins which play important roles in the protection and the process of germination of seeds. We have isolated and purified a 25 kDa protein from Kabuli Chana (Cicer arietinum L., Chickpea-white, CW-25). The CW-25 protein was crystallized using 0.5 M magnesium acetate, 0.1 M sodium cacodylate and 20 % (w/v) polyethylene glycol 8000, pH 6.5. The crystals of CW-25 belonged to space group P3 with unit cell dimensions, a = b = 80.5 Å, and c = 69.2 Å. The structure of CW-25 was dete… Show more
