Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of Escherichia coli glutaredoxin 2 in complex with glutathione and of a cysteine-less variant without glutathione
Glutaredoxin 2 from E. coli was cocrystallized with glutathione and data were collected to 1.60 Å. A mutant with the active-site residues Cys9 and Cys12 changed to serine was crystallized in the absence of glutathione and data were collected to 2.4 Å. Glutaredoxin 2 (Grx2) from Escherichia coli is larger in size than classical glutaredoxins. It is extremely efficient in the catalysis of reduced glutathione-dependent disulfide reduction. A complex of Grx2 with reduced glutathione (GSH) has been crystallized. Data were collected to 1.60 Å. The crystals belong to space group P3{sub 2}21, with one Grx2–GSH complex in the asymmetric unit. The unit-cell parameters are a = b = 50.10, c = 152.47 Å. A Grx2 mutant, C9S/C12S, which cannot form a disulfide bond with GSH was also crystallized. The crystals diffracted to 2.40 Å and belong to space group P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1}, with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The unit-cell parameters are a = 28.16, b = 78.65, c = 89.16 Å.
