abstract = {The human membrane-bound α/β-hydrolase domain 6 (ABHD6)
protein modulates endocannabinoid signaling, which controls
appetite, pain and learning, as well as being linked to
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, through the
degradation of the key lipid messenger 2-arachidonylglycerol
(2-AG). This makes ABHD6 an attractive therapeutic target
that lacks structural information. In order to better
understand the molecular mechanism of 2-AG-hydrolyzing
enzymes, the PA2949 protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
which has $49\%$ sequence similarity to the ABHD6 protein,
was cloned, overexpressed, purified and crystallized.
Overexpression of PA2949 in the homologous host yielded the
membrane-bound enzyme, which was purified in milligram
amounts. Besides their sequence similarity, the enzymes both
show specificity for the hydrolysis of 2-AG and esters of
medium-length fatty acids. PA2949 in the presence of n-octyl
β-D-glucoside showed a higher activity and stability at
room temperature than those previously reported for PA2949
overexpressed and purified from Escherichia coli. A suitable
expression host and stabilizing detergent were crucial for
obtaining crystals, which belonged to the tetragonal space
group I4122 and diffracted to a resolution of 2.54 Å.
This study provides hints on the functional similarity of
ABHD6-like proteins in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and might
guide the structural study of these difficult-to-crystallize
proteins.},
