| Summary: | Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the pathogenic bacterium
Burkholderia pseudomallei. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that the
B. pseudomallei genome includes 5855 coding DNA sequences (CDSs), of
which 25% encode hypothetical proteins. A pathogen-associated hypothetical
protein, BPSL1038, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and
crystallized using vapour-diffusion methods. A BPSL1038 protein crystal that
grew using sodium formate as precipitant diffracted to 1.55 A ° resolution. It
belonged to space group C2221, with unit-cell parameters a = 85.36, b = 115.63,
c = 46.73 A ° . The calculated Matthews coefficient (VM) suggests that there are
two molecules per asymmetric unit, with a solvent content of 48.8%. |
