Abstract

4-Coumarate:CoA ligase 2 (4CL2) from Arabidopsis thaliana catalyzes the ATP-dependent formation of the 4-coumaroyl-CoA thioester through the formation of 4-coumarate-AMP. Recombinant 4CL2 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belonged to space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a = 91.6, b = 55.5, c = 124.4 Å,α = γ = 90.0, β = 111.1°.
