Crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Cellulomonas sp.
The commercially available enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) from Cellulomonas sp. was purified by ion--exchange chromatography, partially sequenced and crystallized in two different crystal forms using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique. Crystal form A grows as polyeders and/or cubes in the cubic space group P4232 with unit-cell dimension a = 162.5 A. Crystal form B appears as thick plates in the space group P212121 with unit-cell dimensions a = 63.2, b = 108.3 and c = 117.4 A. Both crystal forms contain three monomers (one trimer) in the asymmetric unit.
