The metC gene coding for cystathionine beta-lyase of Escherichia coli has been cloned and used to construct an overproducing E. coli strain. An efficient purification scheme has been developed and the purified enzyme has been crystallized by the hanging drop vapour diffusion method using either ammonium sulfate or polyethyleneglycol 400 as precipitating agent. The crystals belong to the orthorombic space group C222. Their unit cell parameters are a = 60.9 A, b = 154.7 A and c = 152.7 A. Consideration of the possible values of VM accounts for the presence of one dimer per asymmetric unit. The crystals are suitable for X-ray analysis and a complete native date set to 1.83 A resolution has been collected using synchrotron radiation.

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
