Octaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase (OPPs) catalyzes the condensation of five isopentenyl pyrophosphates with farnesyl pyrophosphate to generate C(40) octaprenyl pyrophosphate. The enzymes from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima and from the mesophilic Escherichia coli were expressed in E. coli and the recombinant proteins were purified and crystallized. The T. maritima OPPs crystals belong to space group P42(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 151.53, c = 69.72 A. The E. coli OPPs crystals belong to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 247.66, b = 266.10, c = 157.93 A. Diffraction data were collected at 100 K using synchrotron radiation and an in-house X-ray source. Structure determination of T. maritima OPPs has been carried out using MIR data sets at 2.8 A resolution. The asymmetric unit contains one dimer. An initial model with 280 residues per subunit has been built and refined to 2.28 A resolution. It shows mostly helical structure and resembles that of avian farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase.

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
