摘要
The gene coding for the human spliceosomal U5 snRNP-specific 15 kDa protein (U5-15kD) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, its product purified to homogeneity and crystallized. Well diffracting single crystals were obtained by the vapour-diffusion method in hanging drops and subsequent macroseeding, The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2 with a = 62.3, b = 65.7, c = 37.1 Angstrom. They diffract to at least 3.0 Angstrom and contain one molecule in the asymmetric unit. A selenomethionine derivative of the protein was prepared and crystallized for multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) data collection.
