摘要
The Azotobacter vinelandii NifL protein is a redox-sensing flavoprotein which inhibits the activity of the nitrogen-specific transcriptional activator NifA. The N-terminal PAS domain has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystal belongs to the rhombohedral space group R32, with unit-cell parameters a=b=65.0, c=157.3 Angstrom, and has one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Native data were collected to 3.0 Angstrom on the BW7B synchrotron beamline at the EMBL Hamburg Outstation.
