I think this is very wise. It can be better to say that you don't know then to 
guess if people will take your answer for granted.

For some reason if your sulfur on cysteine becomes sulfide anion, you can model

not see any anomalous signal, this is one possibility. I also see small blobs

Dear all,



We have found a huge Fo-Fc density close to cysteine
residue (see attached image) in the structure with
resolution of 1.2A. In the crystallization
condition, we have PEG 3350, Potassium phosphate
monobasic, glycerol and protein was in Tris and
NaCl. Before freezing the crystals were soaked in
mother liquor containing sodium dithionite.



I have tried different modified cysteine (CSX, CSO,

library and also SO_3 , SO_2  and peroxide. But in
all the screenings we do see some part of Fo-Fc

Re: [ccp4bb] Fo-Fc density close to cysteine residue

2019-07-10 Thread Prem Prakash
Hi Lumbini,

There are couple of queries I have before commenting on this issue.

1) how many Cysteine residues are there in your protein

2) have you calculated their solvent accessible surface area ?

3) What is the final concentration of Sodium dithionite ?

Cysteine is highly prone to get thiol covalently modified if it is quite
accessible to the solvent in its free form. As you know, sodium dithionite
is having almost same chemical structure like BME. And you will find N
numbers of papers about how BME covalently modifies the accessible cysteine
in the protein. It seems to me that it modified by sodium dithionite by air
oxidation.

Please check the facts and try to fit with manually built derivative of the
sodium dithionite with this cysteine residue.

Good luck

Hi Jakob,
If there is radiation damage, for every "new" positive density there should
be a negative density in the original position. From the pictures we've
seen, it seems unlikely.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Fo-Fc density close to cysteine residue

Dear all,

We have found a huge Fo-Fc density close to cysteine residue (see attached 
image) in the structure with resolution of 1.2A. In the crystallization 
condition, we have PEG 3350, Potassium phosphate monobasic, glycerol and 
protein was in Tris and NaCl. Before freezing the crystals were soaked in 
mother liquor containing sodium dithionite.

I have tried different modified cysteine (CSX, CSO, OCS, CME, CSS, SNC, CSD, 
CXM, SCH, CSU) from the library and also SO3, SO2 and peroxide. But in all the 
screenings we do see some part of Fo-Fc density unaddressed at 3 sigma.

Does anyone have an idea about what this density could be? Covalent 
modification?

Thanks.


Kind regards,
Lumbini

Re: [ccp4bb] Fo-Fc density close to cysteine residue

2019-07-10 Thread Sergei Strelkov
Dear Lumbini,


Certainly not a proof but your density looks like (di)methyl-arsinoyl-cysteine 
(PDB residue type CAF). This modification can happen when the protein has been 
exposed to cacodylate buffer. You can find such residues (and maps) in the PDB 
entries 3LPT or 5MDI.


Best wishes,

Sergei

Well - that more or less proves the residue is a CYS - there is a peak in
the PHAN map right on the S.
And that the extra density does not contain an anomalous scatterer so is

Lumbini,
2.5A is close to the coordination bond length of sulfur-metal. Did you use
IMAC during purification?

I am serious about checking the anomalous map!!
(trivial from REFMAC - key word anom map on)
Then do a peak search and just check first that the rogue residue IS  CYS
first - you should see the S as a peak..)

Thanks for the reply.
The distance between sulphur and centre of   Fo-Fc map is around 2.5A. The
density does not appear to be of hydrogen (attached image) anisotropy
refinement also does not help.

Lumbini, 

It would useful to know the distance between the sulfur and center of the Fo-Fc 
map that you have shown. Since you have very high resolution data, the extra 
density could be for a hydrogen atom in CSO-H (sufeneic acid) or anisotropy of 
the oxygen atom.
