In-Cell Protein Crystallization via a Locally Flexible 24-mer Assembly Precursor

Satoshi Abe, Junko Tanaka, Kōsuke Kikuchi, Tadaomi Furuta, Yuta Aizawa, Yoshikazu Tanaka, Takeshi Yokoyama, Shuji Kanamaru, Ririko Kobayashi, Takafumi Ueno

This study defines the assembly pathway of CipB, showing that a 24-mer precursor forms and packs into a cubic lattice, with N-terminal flexibility enabling crystallization.

Cell-Free Protein Crystallization Enables Rapid Structure Determination of Disaccharides and Trisaccharides Using Galectin-10 Crystals

Mariko Kojima, Xinchen Yao, Satoshi Abe, Tadaomi Furuta, Kunio Hirata, Ririko Kobayashi, Taiga Suzuki, Takafumi Ueno

This study uses cell-free protein crystallization to determine atomic structures of saccharides bound to galectin-10, revealing binding modes not accessible by conventional methods.
