| Description | As a thermostable esterase with cold adaptation, EstL5 might be of significant industrial interest and value in scientific research. In order to provide new insights into the structure–function relationship of EstL5 and to help better understand the biochemical data, a project to determine the three-dimensional structure of this enzyme was initiated. The novel thermostable esterase EstL5 belonging to the GDSL family exhibits a unique cold-adaptation feature at low temperatures. To better understand its biochemical and enzymatic properties, recombinant EstL5 protein was purified and crystallized using the vapour-diffusion method. The EstL5 crystals diffracted X-rays to 2.79 Å resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source, belonged to the tetragonal space group P41212 or P43212, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 101.51, c = 124.22 Å, and are expected to contain two molecules in each asymmetric unit. To obtain initial phases, selenomethionyl-substituted protein was overproduced. Purified SeMet-labelled EstL5 protein was crystallized and formed crystals that diffracted to a resolution of 3.0 Å. |
