Crystallization and preliminary diffraction studies of the RNA polymerase subunit RPB5 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Crystals of the RNA polymerase subunit RPB5 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been obtained by vapour-diffusion techniques. The protein has been overexpressed in bacterial cells as a fusion with glutathione S-transferase. Two monoclinic crystal forms can be grown under different sets of conditions. In both cases, the diffraction is consistent with space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a = 45. 3, b = 135.3, c = 47.3 A, beta = 118.6 degrees for crystal form I and a = 48.4, b = 137.1, c = 47.1 A, beta = 118.6 degrees for crystal form II.
