The MgtE family of Mg(2+) transporters is ubiquitously conserved in all domains of life. The cytosolic domains of the MgtE Mg(2+) transporters include a cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS) domain which is known to play a regulatory function in transporter proteins. The cytosolic domain of MgtE from Thermus thermophilus was overexpressed, purified and crystallized in the presence and absence of Mg(2+). The crystals formed in the presence of Mg(2+) diffracted X-rays to 2.3 A resolution using synchrotron radiation, belong to space group P6(5)22 with unit-cell parameters a = b = 57.7, c = 317.6 A and are expected to contain one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The crystals formed in the absence of Mg(2+) diffracted X-rays to 3.5 A resolution using synchrotron radiation, belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit-cell parameters a = 77.0, b = 100.3, c = 100.3 A and are expected to contain two molecules in the asymmetric unit.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D014961 X-Ray Diffraction The scattering of x-rays by matter, especially crystals, with accompanying variation in intensity due to interference effects. Analysis of the crystal structure of materials is performed by passing x-rays through them and registering the diffraction image of the rays (CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, X-RAY).

D017434 Protein Structure, Tertiary The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure.

D017920 Antiporters Membrane transporters that co-transport two or more dissimilar molecules in the opposite direction across a membrane. Usually the transport of one ion or molecule is against its electrochemical gradient and is "powered" by the movement of another ion or molecule with its electrochemical gradient.
