X-ray diffraction analysis and molecular-replacement solution of the cyan fluorescent protein dsFP483

Acta Crystallogr Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun. 2005 Oct 1;61(Pt 10):922-4. doi: 10.1107/S1744309105028502. Epub 2005 Sep 30.

Abstract

A novel cyan fluorescent protein, dsFP483 from the coral Discosoma striata, has been crystallized. Diffraction data were collected to 2.1 A and processed in space group C2. Molecular-replacement methods were applied using the closely related red fluorescent protein DsRed as a search model. The asymmetric unit appears to contain six protein molecules (1.5 tetramers), five of which (83%) could be located by the molecular-replacement searches.
