Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of Escherichia coli methionyl-tRNAfMet formyltransferase

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Methionyl-tRNAfMet formyltransferase from Escherichia coli, a monomer of 34kDa, was overexpressed from its cloned gene fmt (Guillon, J.M., Mechulam, Y., Schmitter, J.M., Blanquet, S., and Fayat, G., J. Bacteriol. 174:4294-4301, 1992) and crystallized using ammonium sulphate as precipitant. The crystals are trigonal and have unit cell parameters a=b=151.0Å, c=81.8Å. They belong to space group P3221 and diffract to 2.0Å resolution. The structure is being solved by multiple isomorphous replacement.
