X-ray diffraction data were collected on an in-house Rigaku X-ray system with a Saturn 944 CCD detector. Diffraction intensities were indexed, integrated and scaled using the program HKL2000.54 All structure solutions were generated using molecular replacement with PHASER.55 (link) The B chain model of viral substrate product 4A-4B (PDB ID: 3M5M)46 (link) was used as the starting model for all structure solutions. Initial refinement was carried out in the absence of modeled ligand, which was subsequently built in during later stages of refinement. Subsequent crystallographic refinement was carried out within the Phenix program suite, with iterative rounds of TLS or restrained refinement until convergence was achieved.56 (link) 1a3a–VAN complex was refined using the CCP4 program suite.57 (link) The final structures were evaluated with MolProbity58 (link) prior to deposition in the Protein Data Bank. To limit the possibility of model bias throughout the refinement process, 5% of the data were reserved for the free R-value calculation.59 (link) Interactive model building and electron density viewing were carried out using the program COOT.60 (link)

N42FTA (1 mM) was incubated for 1 h with PaFabA at 7 mg/ml before setting the plates. Crystals appeared at 20 °C after 2 days from a hanging drop of 2 μl of protein solution with 1 μl of reservoir solution containing 0.1 M lithium sulfate, 12% polyethylene glycol MME 5000, and 0.1 M sodium citrate (pH 5). Crystals were cryoprotected by supplementing the mother liquor with 15% glycerol.
Data were collected in-house using a Rigaku Micromax™-007HF Cu anode with VariMax optics and a Rigaku Saturn 944 + CCD detector. Data were processed with xia2 [46] , [47] , [48] (link), [49] , [50] (link). The structure was solved using the coordinates of the wild-type PaFabA [42] (link) and the programme Phaser [51] (link). PHENIX [52] (link) was used for autobuilding from molecular replacement solution. The model was adjusted with Coot [53] (link) after each round of refinement in REFMAC 5.6 from the CCP4 programme suite 6.2.0 with local NCS restraints (option in programme) and TLS parameters [54] (link) applied throughout. N42FTA was added to the model when the difference electron density was clear (Fig. 6a). Coordinates and topologies of ligand were generated by PRODRG [55] (link). The quality of the structure was checked with MolProbity [56] (link). Final refinement statistics are given in Table 1. Figures were drawn using PyMOL [57] .

C. thermophilum Vps29 is 201 amino acids in length and
thrombin cleavage leaves an additional two non-native N-terminal residues
(GlySer). Crystals of Vps29 were produced by hanging drop vapour diffusion using

Superbright generator with Osmic Vari-Max HF optics and Rigaku Saturn 944 CCD
detector. Data for structure determination was collected at the Australian
Synchrotron MX1 Beamline. Data was integrated with iMOSFLM30 (link) and scaled with SCALA31 (link). The structure was solved by molecular replacement with
PHASER32 (link) using the human Vps29
protein18 (link) as an input model. The
resulting models were rebuilt with COOT33 (link)
and refined with PHENIX34 (link).

Protein Structure Determination by Diffraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For structure determination, diffraction data were collected from a single crystal at 100 K using synchrotron radiation (Canadian Light Source, Saskatoon, SK, Canada) and a Rayonix MX300 CCD detector. For exploiting the anomalous signal from P atoms, additional data were collected at home from another single crystal using a MicroMax-007 HF generator (Rigaku) and a Saturn 944+ CCD detector (Rigaku). Both data sets were processed with the xia2 package (Winter et al., 2013 ▶ ); for the home-source data the Friedel mates were not merged together, unlike for the synchrotron data. The structure model was initially built by a difference Fourier method with a ligand/solvent-omitted starting model generated from PDB entry 4h5d (Park et al., 2012 ▶ ). The model was improved through iterative rounds of manual and automated refinement with Coot (Emsley et al., 2010 ▶ ) and REFMAC5 (Murshudov et al., 2011 ▶ ). The final model was deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB entry 4lfv). Data-collection and refinement statistics are presented in Table 1.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
