Abstract

A novel diadenosine 5′,5′′′-P 1,P 4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) phosphorylase (Rv2613c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv has been crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystal belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 101.5, b = 63.6, c = 79.1 Å, Β = 110.9°. The diffraction of the crystals extended to 1.9 Å resolution. The asymmetric unit is expected to contain two molecules of Rv2613c, with a corresponding crystal volume per protein weight (VM) of 2.41 Å3 Da-1 and a solvent content of 49.1%. This is the first report of a crystal of Ap4A phosphorylase.
