Abstract in Portuguese
O genoma de Xanthomonas citri (Xac) possui mais de 20 tipos de transportadores do tipo ABC incluindo o operon ssuABC associado ao transporte de alcano sulfonatos. Deste operon, escolhemos a proteína periplasmática ligadora de alcano sulfonatos SsuA2, para caracterização e análises espectroscópicas e estruturais. A rSsuA2 foi expressa no citoplasma de células de Escherichia coli e utilizada para a preparação de anticorpos em camundongos, que foram capazes de reconhecer a proteína recombinante, mas não a nativa no extrato de células de Xac. A rSssuA2 apresenta estrutura característica de proteínas alfa-beta, maior estabilidade em pH neutro (7.0), como também foi evidenciado pela obtenção de cristais somente nesta faixa, e pouca flexibilidade ao desenovelamento térmico. Os cristais difratam com resolução de 1.8 Å e pertencem ao grupo espacial de simetria P21. Além do o operon ssu (ssu2) altamente conservado, Xac apresenta o operon tau (ssu1) para captação de taurina. O papel do operon para Xac é discutido.

Abstract in English
Xanthomonas citri (Xac) genome has more than 20 different ABC transporters, including the ssuABC operon. In this work, the alkanosulphonate-periplasmic binding protein SsuA2 was chosen for spectroscopic and structural analysis. The rSsuA2 protein was expressed as a soluble form and purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. Antibodies produced from the recombinant protein were able to recognize the rSsuA2, but not the native protein in the Xac extract samples. The protein presents secondary structure defined by alfa helices and beta-sheets, high stability in neutral pH and low flexibility to the thermal denaturation. The determination of the optimal pH range was important to produce crystals of high quality diffracting at 1.8 Å with symmetry of the P21 spatial group. Besides the highly conserved operon ssu (ssu2), Xac has the tau operon (ssu1) for taurine uptake.
