Crystallization and diffraction of an Isl1-Ldb1 complex

Acta Crystallogr Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun. 2012 Nov 1;68(Pt 11):1398-401. doi: 10.1107/S1744309112040031. Epub 2012 Oct 30.

Abstract

A stable intramolecular complex comprising the LIM domains of the LIM-homeodomain protein Isl1 tethered to a peptide region of Ldb1 has been engineered, purified and crystallized. The orthorhombic crystals belonged to space group P222(1), with unit-cell parameters a=57.2, b=56.7, c=179.8 Å, and diffracted to 3.10 Å resolution.
