Popis: 7-Keto-8-aminopelargonic acid synthase (KAPA synthase; BioF) is an essential enzyme for mycobacterial growth that catalyses the first committed step in the biotin-synthesis pathway. It is a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme and is a potential drug target. Here, the cloning, expression, purification and crystallization of KAPA synthase fromMycobacterium smegmatis(MsBioF) and the characterization of MsBioF crystals using X-ray diffraction are described. The crystals diffracted to 2.3 Å resolution and belonged to the monoclinic space groupP21, with unit-cell parametersa= 70.88,b= 91.68,c= 109.84 Å, β = 97.8°. According to the molecular weight of MsBioF, the unit-cell parameters and the self-rotation function map, four molecules are present in each asymmetric unit with aVMvalue of 2.06 Å3 Da−1and a solvent content of 40.20%.
