title: Crystallization and X-ray analysis of a single fab binding domain from protein L of Peptostreptococcus magnus.
abstract: Protein L is a multidomain cell wall constituent of certain strains of Peptostreptococcus magnus which binds to the variable domain of immunoglobulin kappa-light chains. A single immunoglobulin-binding domain of M(r) = 9000 from this protein has been isolated and crystallized. The crystals are of space group P4(2)2(1)2, with cell dimensions a = b = 66.9 A, c = 68.3 A, and diffract to at least 2.2 A resolution. The asymmetric unit of the crystal contains two molecules of the protein L domain, related by a noncrystallographic 2-fold axis, as revealed by a self-rotation function calculated with native diffraction data.
