  • Title: Crystallization and subunit structure of canine myeloperoxidase.
    Author: Fenna RE.
    Journal: J Mol Biol; 1987 Aug 20; 196(4):919-25. PubMed ID: 2824790.
    Abstract:
    Three crystal forms of canine myeloperoxidase are described. An orthorhombic form in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) has unit cell dimensions: a = 108.3 A (1 A = 0.1 nm) b = 205.9 A and c = 139.9 A. A trigonal form in space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21 has unit cell dimensions: a = b = 138.9 A and c = 145.2 A. A monoclinic form in space group C2 has unit cell dimensions: a = 117.2 A, b = 96.9 A, c = 131.4 A and beta = 116.3 degrees. Unusual features in the diffraction patterns of the monoclinic form place restrictions on the molecular packing in the crystal. The proposed model for the molecular packing requires that the myeloperoxidase molecule consist of two identical or near-identical halves. In the intact molecule these halves may be related either by a crystallographic dyad axis or by an approximate dyad axis in which one subunit is translated relative to the other by 3.2 A along the symmetry axis. The trigonal crystal form appears most suitable for high-resolution X-ray structural analysis.
