Abstract
The hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Ignicoccus hospitalis KIN4/I possesses at least 35 putative genes encoding enzymes that belong to the α/β-hydrolase superfamily. One of those genes, the metallo-hydrolase-encoding igni18, was cloned and heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris. The enzyme produced was purified in its catalytically active form. The recombinant enzyme was successfully crystallized and the crystal diffracted to a resolution of 2.3 Å. The crystal belonged to space group R32, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 67.42, c=253.77 Å, α = β = 90.0, γ = 120.0°. It is suggested that it contains one monomer of Igni18 within the asymmetric unit.
