Abstract
A double mutantEst1, which is a plastic degrading cutinase-type esterase in <i> Thermobifida alba </i> , has been over - expressed in <i> Escherichia coli </i> . The recombinant protein was purified by a two-step protocol involving immobilized metal affinity chromatography and cation-exchange chromatography, yielding 120 mg of protein per liter of bacterial culture. Crystals have been obtained by using the sitting-drop vapor-diffusion technique. Native diffraction data to 1.37 Å resolution were obtained at the BL44XU beam line of SPring-8 from a flash-frozen crystal at 100 K. The crystals belong to space group <i> C </i> 2, with unit-cell parameters <i> a </i> = 127.2 Å , <i> b </i> = 42.1 Å , <i> c </i> = 63.2 Å , <i> β </i> = 114.7 ° , likely containing one Est1 double mutant (296 residues) per asymmetric unit.
