Abstract:
CprB, an autoregulator-receptor protein from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), was crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol 6000 as a precipitant. Three crystal forms (I, II and III) were obtained; crystal forms I and II were useful for structure determination. Form I crystals belong to an orthorhombic system with space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and diffracted to better than 2.4 A. Form II crystals belong to a tetragonal system with space group P4(1(3))2(1)2.
