Abstract
Methionine aminopeptidase (MAP) from Pyrococcus furiosus (Pfu) has been crystallized in four different forms (A, B, C and D). Form A crystals belong to space group P2(1) with unit-cell dimensions a = 54.18, b = 85.72, c = 72.84 A, beta = 108.34 degrees. Forms B, C and D belong to space group P6(2(4)) with unit-cell dimensions a = 139.1, c = 63.7 A for form B, a = 198.6, c = 243.8 A for form C, and a = 111.0, c = 125.0 A for form D. Forms A and D diffract to 2.9 A, form B diffracts to 3.5 A, and form C crystals diffract to 4.5 A. Form A contains two molecules of MAP-Pfu per asymmetric unit. The binuclear metal center positions and a non-crystallographic twofold symmetry matrix has been determined for the form A crystals.Keywords
