Abstract
The alpha(2) epsilon (2) subcomponent (218.6 kDa) of the 1.99 MDa acetyl-CoA decarbonylase/synthase (ACDS) multienzyme complex is an Ni/Fe-S enzyme that catalyzes reversible CO(2)/CO reduction in the context of acetyl-CoA synthesis. The ACDS complex is required for methanogenesis from acetate in methanogenic archaea. The alpha(2)epsilon(2) subcomponent from Methanosarcina thermophila, grown on acetate, was purified and crystallized. The crystals were mounted in a capillary and diffracted to 4.0 A resolution at room temperature. Different flash-cooling approaches were attempted, all of which resulted in poor diffraction.
