ADP-L-glycero-D-mannoheptose 6-epimerase is a 240 kDa NAD-dependent nucleotide diphosphosugar epimerase from Escherichia coli K12 which catalyzes the interconversion of ADP-D-glycero-D-mannoheptose and ADP-L-glycero-D-mannoheptose. ADP-L-glycero-D-mannoheptose is a required intermediate for lipopolysaccharide inner-core and outer-membrane biosynthesis in several genera of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. ADP-L-glycero-D-mannoheptose 6-epimerase was overexpressed in E. coli and purified to apparent homogeneity by chromatographic methods. Three crystal forms of the epimerase were obtained by a hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method. A native data set for crystal form III was collected in-house on a Rigaku R-AXIS-IIC image plate at 3.0 A resolution. The form III crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P21. The unit-cell parameters are a = 98.94, b = 110.53, c = 180.68 A and beta = 90.94 degrees. Our recent results show that these crystals diffract to 2.0 A resolution at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source. The crystal probably contains six 40 kDa monomers per asymmetric unit, with a corresponding volume per protein mass (Vm) of 4.11 A3 Da-1 and a solvent fraction of 70%.
