    Notes: The crystal structure of recombinant bovine chymosin (EC 3.4.23.4; renin), which was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, has been determined using X-ray data extending to 2.3 Å resolution. The crystals of the enzyme used in this study belong to the space group I222 with unit cell dimensions a = 72.7 Å, b = 80.3 Å, and c = 114.8 Å. The structure was solved by the molecular replacement method and was refined by a restrained least-squares procedure. The crystallographic R factor is 0.165 and the deviation of bond distances from ideality is 0.020 Å. The resulting model includes all 323 amino acid residues, as well as 297 water molecules. The enzyme has an irregular shape with approximate maximum dimensions of 40 × 50 × 65 Å. The secondary structure consists primarily of parallel and antiparallel β-strands with a few short α-helices. The enzyme can be subdivided into N- and C- terminal domains which are separated by a deep cleft containing the active aspartate residues Asp-34 and Asp-216. The amino acid residues and waters at the active site form an extensive hydrogen-bonded network which maintains the pseudo 2-fold symmetry of the entire structure. A comparison of recombinant chymosin with other acid proteinases reveals the high degree of structural similarity with other members of this family of proteins as well as the subtle differences which make chymosin unique. In particular, Tyr-77 of the flap region of chymosin does not hydrogen bond to Trp-42 but protrudes out in the P1 pocket forming hydrophobic interactions with Phe-119 and Leu-32. This may have important implications concerning the mechanism of substrate binding and substrate specificity.

    Notes: Two different heparin-binding fragments of human fibronectin have been crystallized in forms which are suitable for crystal structure analyses. The 30 kDa hep-2A fragment, consisting of type III domains 12-14, was crystallized from solutions containing ammonium sulfate or polyethylene glycol 6000. The crystals grown in ammonium sulfate solutions were orthorhombic with space group I222 or I212121 with a = 68.1 Å, b = 88.6 Å, and c = 144.9 Å. The crystals grown in polyethylene glycol solutions are hexagonal with space group P6122 or P6522 witha a = b = 66.7 Å and c = 245.7 Å. The 40 kDa hep-2B fragment, consisting of type III domains 12-15, was also crystallized from solutions containing ammonium sulfate with the addition of glycerol. Glycerol proved an effective agent for reducing the number of crystals in the crystallization experiments, and thus, increasing the size of the crystals in these experiments. This crystal form is nearly isomorphous to the orthorhombic form of the hep-2A fragment with space group I222 or I212121 and a = 67.5 Å, b = 87.0 Å, and c = 144.3 Å. All crystal forms diffract to at least 3.5 Å resolution and contain a single molecule in the asymmetric unit. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
