Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (Rv0066c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Acta Crystallogr Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun. 2008 Dec 1;64(Pt 12):1139-42. doi: 10.1107/S1744309108035343. Epub 2008 Nov 28.

Abstract

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (Icd-2, Rv0066c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis was cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The protein was purified by affinity and size-exclusion chromatography and crystallized. A complete data set has been collected and reduced to 3.25 A resolution in space group C2. Preliminary diffraction data analysis suggests a complex packing with at least six molecules in the asymmetric unit.
