Nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase contributes to the maintenance of cellular pools of all nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) by catalyzing the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from an NTP donor to an NDP acceptor. NDP kinase from the extreme thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB8 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized at 297 K using polyethylene glycol 8000 as the precipitant by means of the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion procedure. The crystals belong to the hexagonal system, space group P6(3)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 124.0, c = 104.9 A, alpha = beta = 90, gamma = 120 degrees. Assuming the asymmetric unit to contain two subunits, the calculated V(M) value was 3.7 A(3) Da(-1). The crystals diffracted X-rays generated by the synchrotron at SPring-8 to at least 1.9 A resolution and were suitable for high-resolution X-ray crystal structure determination.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009701 Nucleoside-Diphosphate Kinase An enzyme that is found in mitochondria and in the soluble cytoplasm of cells. It catalyzes reversible reactions of a nucleoside triphosphate, e.g., ATP, with a nucleoside diphosphate, e.g., UDP, to form ADP and UTP. Many nucleoside diphosphates can act as acceptor, while many ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates can act as donor. EC 2.7.4.6.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
