Expression, purification and preliminary crystallographic analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa RocR protein

Pseudomonas aeruginosa RocR, an EAL-domain protein which regulates the expression of virulence genes and biofilm formation, has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Here, the crystallization and preliminary diffraction analysis of RocR are reported. The X-ray diffraction data were processed to a resolution of 2.50 A. The crystals belonged to space group P6(1)22 or P6(5)22, with unit-cell parameters a = 118.8, b = 118.8, c = 495.1 A, alpha = beta = 90, gamma = 120 degrees .
