title: Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic data of recombinant human osteogenic protein-1 (hOP-1).
abstract: We have obtained trigonal crystals of recombinant human osteogenic protein-1 (hOP-1), a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. hOP-1 (also referred to as BMP-7) is a bone morphogenetic protein and is active as a dimer of M(r) 32 to 36 kDa. The crystals have the symmetry of space group P3(1)21 or the enantiomorph P3(2)21 with unit cell dimensions of a = b = 99.46 A, c = 42.09 A. The crystals diffract to 2.2 A resolution and there is one hOP-1 monomer per asymmetric unit. In this paper we describe the first crystallization of a bone morphogenetic protein and present the results of preliminary X-ray diffraction data from the native protein and two heavy-atom derivatives.
