Abstract
Cerebral cavernous malformation 2 (CCM2) is a novel two-domain adaptor protein which participates in multiple cellular signalling pathways. Loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding CCM2 are the cause of common human vascular lesions called cerebral cavernous malformations. Here, the purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of the C-terminal domain of CCM2 (CCM2-Ct) are reported. Diffraction data were collected from native and selenomethionine-substituted crystals of CCM2-Ct to resolutions of 2.9 and 2.7 Å, respectively. Both crystals belonged to space group I4(1)22 with similar unit-cell parameters. The native crystals had unit-cell parameters a = b = 113.29, c = 101.62 Å.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section F is a rapid structural biology communications journal.
Articles on any aspect of structural biology, including structures determined using high-throughput methods or from iterative studies such as those used in the pharmaceutical industry, are welcomed by the journal.
The journal offers the option of open access, and all communications benefit from unlimited free use of colour illustrations and no page charges. Authors are encouraged to submit multimedia content for publication with their articles.
Acta Cryst. F has a dedicated online tool called publBio that is designed to make the preparation and submission of articles easier for authors.
