An ORF designated b2245 (yfaU) in the Escherichia coli K12 genome sequence, identified as an HHED aldolase homologue, was cloned into the high-expression plasmid pT7-7 and overexpressed in E. coli B835(DE3). The enzyme was purified in three steps to 95% purity prior to crystallization. Crystals were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 277 K from a number of screening conditions. Crystals suitable for structural studies were grown from solutions containing 0.4 M ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and grew to a maximum dimension of approximately 0.5 mm. Diffraction data to 1.7 A were collected using an in-house Cu Kalpha radiation source at 100 K. The crystals belong to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 105.1, b = 136.6, c = 123.1 A. A 90% complete data set was collected to 1.78 A from a single native crystal using in-house facilities.

The gene encoding 2,4-dihydroxy-hepta-2-ene-1,7-dioate (HHED) aldolase (HpcH; EC 4.1.2) from Escherichia coli C was cloned into the high-expression plasmid pProEx-HTa and overexpressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The 28 kDa enzyme was purified using immobilized metal-affinity and size-exclusion chromatography prior to crystallization. Crystals were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 277 K from a number of screening conditions. Type I crystals grown in a solution containing 0.4 M ammonium dihydrogen phosphate belong to space group R32, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 128.92, c = 175.30 A. Type II crystals grown in a solution containing 0.5 M sodium chloride, 0.1 M sodium citrate pH 5.5 belong to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 133.39, b = 155.39, c = 168.80 A. Complete data sets were collected to 1.6 and 2.0 A from type I and type II crystals, respectively, using synchrotron radiation.
