thrombin cleavage leaves an additional two non-native N-terminal residues
(GlySer). Crystals of Vps29 were produced by hanging drop vapour diffusion using
protein at a concentration of 15 mg/ml. Crystals in spacegroup P21grew from a reservoir solution of 8% PEG20000, 8% PEG550MME, 0.2 M calcium
acetate and 0.1 M Tris (pH 8.0), and were cryoprotected in 25% glycerol.
Crystals were screened at the UQ ROCX diffraction facility on a Rigaku FR-E
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).
