Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of N-acetylglucosamine-phosphate mutase from Candida albicans.


ABSTRACT: N-acetylglucosamine-phosphate mutase (AGM1) is an essential enzyme in the synthesis of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) in eukaryotes and belongs to the alpha-D-phosphohexomutase superfamily. AGM1 from Candida albicans (CaAGM1) was purified and crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals obtained belong to the primitive monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 60.2, b = 130.2, c = 78.0 angstroms, beta = 106.7 degrees. The crystals diffract X-rays to beyond 1.8 angstroms resolution using synchrotron radiation.
