摘要

Spores of Bacillus subtilis are covered by a multi-protein protective coat which is a key factor in their extreme environmental resilience. A fraction of the coat proteins undergoes covalent cross-linking following their assembly at the spore surface. Several types of covalent cross-links are found in the coat. These include epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine bonds whose formation is catalyzed by a transglutaminase, Tgl, itself a coat component. Tgl is the smallest known transglutaminase. It bears no sequence resemblance to other proteins in databases, except for its counterparts in other Bacillus and related species, suggesting a highly specialized role in coat assembly. It is not known to what degree are the Tgl-like proteins structural and mechanistically related to other transglutaminases. Here, we have fused the His(6) tag to the C-terminal end of Tgl, and shown that the fusion protein is functional in vivo. We have overproduced B. subtilis Tgl-His(6) by auto-induction with high yield and purified the protein to nearly homogeneity in a single chromatographic step. The purified protein, active as it catalyzed the cross-linking of bovine serum albumin, behaved as a monomer of about 33 kDa in solution. Lastly, Tgl was crystallized and X-ray diffraction data were collected using synchrotron radiation to 2.1 angstrom resolution. Crystals of Tgl belong to the tetragonal space group P4(1,3) and contain two molecules per asymmetric unit. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
