TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Preliminary molecular characterization and crystallization of mitochondrial respiratory complex II from porcine heart

The mitochondrial respiratory complex II, or succinate:ubiquinone oxido-reductase, is an integral membrane protein complex in both the tricarboxy-lic acid cycle (Krebs cycle) and aerobic respiration. The gene sequences of each complex II subunit were measured by RT-PCR. N-terminal sequen-cing work was performed to identify the mitochondrial targeting signal peptide of each subunit. | ễFEBS Journal Preliminary molecular characterization and crystallization of mitochondrial respiratory complex II from porcine heart Xia Huo1 2 Dan Su1 Aojin Wang2 Yujia Zhai2 Jianxing Xu2 Xuemei Li2 Mark Bartlam1 2 Fei Sun2 and Zihe Rao1 2 1 Tsinghua-Nankai-IBP Joint Research Group for StructuralBiology Tsinghua University Beijing China 2 NationalLaboratory of Biomacromolecules Institute of Biophysics IBP Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing China Keywords complex II crystallization membrane protein mitochondrial respiration sequencing Correspondence M.

The gene sequences of each complex II subunit were measured by RT-PCR. N-terminal sequencing work was performed to identify the mitochondrial targeting signal peptide of each subunit. Complex II was extracted from porcine heart and purified by the ammonium sulfate precipitation method. The sample was solubilized by w v sugar detergent n-decyl-P-D-maltoside stabilized by 200 mM sucrose and crystallized with 5 w v poly ethylene glycol 4000. Important factors for the extraction purification and crystallization of mitochondrial respiratory complex II are discussed.
