Abstract

AppA is the membrane-anchored extracellular receptor component of an ABC transporter responsible for the uptake of oligopeptides into Bacillus subtilis. AppA has been overexpressed as a cleavable maltose-binding protein fusion in Escherichia coli. Following removal of the fusion portion, AppA has been crystallized from morpholino-ethanesulfonic acid-buffered solutions at pH 6.5 containing polyethylene glycol and zinc acetate. A complete X-ray diffraction data set extending to 2.3 Angstrom spacing has been collected.
