Abstract

Structural studies of CaATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum have so far been restricted to low resolution due to the poor order of two-dimensional crystal forms. However, we report that three-dimensional microcrystals of detergent-solubilized CaATPase diffract to 7.2 A in x-ray powder patterns and may therefore provide an opportunity to study CaATPase structure at higher resolutions. In the present study, we have characterized the symmetry and molecular packing of negatively stained crystals by electron microscopy (em). By altering the detergent-to-lipid ratio, different sized crystals were produced, which adhere to an em grid in different orientations. Thus, we obtained micrographs of three different projections and from these determined unit cell dimensions to be 151 X 51 X 158 A and the three-dimensional space group to be C2 with an angle beta very close to 90 degrees; x-ray powder patterns of hydrated, unstained crystals yielded dimensions of 166 X 58 X 164 A. Micrographs from each of two principal projections were averaged to produce two-dimensional density maps. Based on these maps and on the previously determined low-resolution structure of CaATPase, a packing diagram for these three-dimensional crystals is presented and major intermolecular contacts are proposed.
