Re: [ccp4bb] Data processing suggestion

Hi, You could try XDS and input your unit cell from one crystal, then decide whether you're happy with the outcome for the other crystal. Boaz Boaz Shaanan, Ph.D. Dept. of Life Sciences Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Beer-Sheva 84105 Israel Phone: 972-8-647-2220 Skype:

Dear Pascal and Matthias, I am sorry for the delay of reply, thanks very much for your suggestions on the glycosylation protein. Now I am trying to do a stable cell line with CHO lec 3.8.2.1 cells, this cell line could express protein with shorter glycans. I hope several weeks later I could

I have limited cautionary experiences with Lec1 CHO expression, although with a highly and complex glycosilated protein. Subsequent glycan analysis showed that the glycans are indeed more homogeneous and less branched, but not exclusively the Man5GlcNac2 type that are reported/expected. There

2011-05-17 Thread Savvas Savvides
The HEK293S/ I-/- strain (Reeves et al PNAS 2002) does not lack glycosylation capacity. It is deficient in a key glucosyl transferase responsible for adding glycans beyond the Man5GlcNac2. This produces N-linked glycosylated proteins with homogeneous glycan trees. We recently established

[ccp4bb] Difficulty indexing diffraction, cell too small

2011-05-17 Thread Jason Busby
Hi, I have a diffraction data-set from a hexagonal rod shaped crystal, to about 2.0 Å. The problem comes when I try to process the data - Mosflm won't index it, and XDS indexes it as P622, but the unit cell is too small to contain even a single molecule of my protein. I have tried

Re: [ccp4bb] Difficulty indexing diffraction, cell too small

2011-05-17 Thread Jim Pflugrath
In general, the Rmerge and Rmeas should get better with a lower symmetry spacegroup, so that's weird. Maybe you didn't crystallize what you thought you crystallized. Do people runs gels anymore on crystals to get an idea of what's in the crystal or do they do MassSpec? I think another way to go

Re: [ccp4bb] FW: [ccp4bb] highly glycosylated protein

2011-05-17 Thread A. Radu Aricescu
Dear Wei, If I understood correctly your description, the protein aggregates when produced whith complex N-linked glycosylation, and behaves better when the glycosylation is immature (i.e. following kifunensine treatment I suppose ?). May I suggest that this is a rather atypical situation? It
