Archaeal acylamino acid releasing enzyme/lipase:Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis in a new crystal form

A primitive orthorhombic crystal form of acylamino acid releasing enzyme‘lipase(APE1547)from hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix strain K1 has been obtained at 291K.The diffraction pattern of the crystal extends to 0.27nm resolution at 100K using Cu Kαradiation.The crystal belongs to the space group P212121 with unit cell dimensions of b=6.399,b=10.439and c=16.953nm.The presence of two molecules per asymmetric unit gives a crystal volume per protein mass(Vm)of 0.0022nm^3 Da^-1 and a solvent content of 43% by volume.A full set of X-ray diffraction data were collected to 0.3nm from the native crystal.     

两种超嗜热菌基因组中同义密码子使用的分析

对两种超嗜热菌敏捷气热菌(Aeropyrum pernix)和风产液菌(Aqui fex aeolicus)的密码子使用进行分析．相对密码子使用值(RSCU)的计算表明,它们在密码子使用上具有一定的相似性,但也有不同的使用模式,导致这一现象的机制可能存在差异．密码子RSCU值对应分析表明,两种菌中高表达基因均具有相对较高的GC含量,但基因表达水平对密码子使用偏好的影响程度却不一样．在A．pernix中,它是造成整个基因组密码子使用偏好的最主要因素,而在A．aeolicus中却不是．
