Crystallization and preliminary X-ray study of alpha-glucosidase from Geobacillus sp strain HTA-462, one of the deepest sea bacteria.
An alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) was purified from Geobacillus sp. strain HTA-462 cells and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique. The Geobacillus strain is a thermophilic and high-pressure-resistant bacterium found at the bottom of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. The crystal was characterized by X-ray diffraction and belongs to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 104.0, b = 91.5, c = 72.9 A, beta = 109.4 degrees. Diffraction data to 2.5 A resolution were collected and processed.
