Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the signal recognition particle SRPphi14-9 fusion protein

FEBS Lett. 1996 Apr 22;384(3):215-8. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(96)00315-8.

Abstract

The SRPphi14-9 fusion protein, which can functionally replace the SRP9/14 heterodimer in the mammalian signal recognition particle (SRP), has been crystallized using the vapor diffusion method. Four different crystal forms were grown. SRPphi14-9 form IV crystals belong to the space group P4(1)22/ P4(3)22 with cell parameters a = b = 69.7 Angstroms, c = 95.7 Angstroms, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees. A complete data set to 2.8 Angstroms resolution with an Rsym on intensities of 7.0% was collected on a single flash-frozen crystal.
