Human recombinant factor XIII from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Crystallization and preliminary x-ray data

J Biol Chem. 1990 Aug 15;265(23):13888-9.

Abstract

Crystals of human recombinant factor XIII from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been grown from solutions of ammonium sulfate at pH 5.8. The crystals are orthorhombic, with space group P2(1)2(1)2 and unit cell dimensions gamma a = 101.2, b = 182.7, and c = 93.4 A. The asymmetric unit consists of one a2 dimer of molecular mass 166 kDa. A 3.5-A resolution data set for the native protein has been collected. Practical resolution limits for these crystals have not been determined, but reflections have been observed to a Bragg spacing of 2.8-A resolution.
