Abstract

Hfq protein from Escherichia coli (EcoHfq) has been overproduced in E. coli, purified to homogeneity and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique. Crystallization conditions for EcoHfq were found which yielded X-ray quality crystals. Crystals of EcoHfq and of Cd-, Hg- and Se-containing derivatives grew in two months, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 127.41, c = 170.36 A. The crystals belong to space group I4 and diffract to 2.1 A resolution. Two hexamers are predicted per asymmetric unit.
