    Notes: Numerous precursors of antibacterial peptides with unrelated sequences share a similar prosequence which belongs to the cathelicidin family of proteins. The three-dimensional structure of this cathelicidin motif, which contains two disulfide bonds, has not yet been reported. The cathelicidin motif (ProS) of the protegrin-3 precursor was overexpressed in Escherichia coli as a His-tagged protein. The His6 tag was removed by thrombin cleavage. ProS was purified to homogeneity and single crystals were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at pH 3–4. Preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that these crystals belong to the hexagonal space group P6122 or P6522, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 51.42, c = 134.25 Å. These crystals diffracted beyond 2.75 Å (1.9 Å at ESRF) and contain one molecule per asymmetric unit.

    Notes: Abstract Two major azoverdins were isolated from the cultures of Azomonas macrocytogenes ATCC 12334 grown in irondeficient medium. Their structures have been established using fast atom bombardment-mass spectroscopy, homonuclear and heteronuclear two-dimensional 15N, 13C and 1H NMR, and circular dichroism techniques. These siderophores are chromopeptides possessing at the N-terminal end of their peptide chain the chromophore derived from 2,3-diamino-6,7-dihydroxyquinoline common to pyoverdins. The linear peptide chain (l)-Hse-(d)-AcOHOrn-(d)-Ser-(l)-AcOHOrn-(d)-Hse-(l)-CTHPMD has at its C-terminal end a new natural amino acid which is the result of the condensation of 1 mol of homoserine and 1 mol of 2,4-diaminobutyric acid forming a cyclic amidine belonging to the tetrahydropyrimidine family: 2-homoseryl-4-carboxyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine. The azoverdins differ only by a substitutent bound to the nitrogen on C-3 of the chromophore: azoverdin, the most abundant one, possesses a succinamide moiety, whereas azoverdin A bears a succinic acid moiety. 15N-labelled azoverdin afforded readily, after the complete assignment of the 15N spectrum of the siderophore, a sequence determination of the peptidic part of the molecule and gave evidence for the presence of two tetrahydropyrimidine groups on the molecule: one on the chromophore and the second at the C-terminal end of the siderophore.

    Notes: Abstract The human oncoprotein p13 MTCP1 is coded by the MTCP1 gene, a gene involved in chromosomal translocations associated with T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, a rare form of human leukemia with a mature T-cell phenotype. The primary sequence of p13 MTCP1 is highly and only homologous to that of p14 TCL1 , a product coded by the gene TCL1 which is also involved in T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia. These two proteins probably represent the first members of a new family of oncogenic proteins. We present the three-dimensional solution structure of the recombinant p13 MTCP1 determined by homonuclear proton two-dimensional NMR methods at 600 MHz. After proton resonance assignments, a total of 1253 distance restraints and 64 dihedral restraints were collected. The solution structure of p13 MTCP1 is presented as a set of 20 DYANA structures. The rmsd values with respect to the mean structure for the backbone and all heavy atoms for the conformer family are 1.07 ± 0.19 and 1.71 ± 0.17 Å, when the structured core of the protein (residues 11–103) is considered. The solution structure of p13 MTCP1 consists of an orthogonal β-barrel, composed of eight antiparallel β-strands which present an original arrangement. The two β-pleated loops which emerge from this barrel might constitute the interaction surface with a potential molecular partner.
