title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the 10 kDa C-terminal subdomain of 70 kDa heat-shock cognate protein.
abstract: The 70 kDa heat-shock cognate protein (Hsc70) is a cytosolic molecular chaperone. It is composed of a 44 kDa N-terminal nucleotide-binding domain, an 18 kDa peptide-binding subdomain and a 10 kDa C-terminal subdomain. Single crystals of recombinant 10 kDa subdomain of rat Hsc70 have been obtained using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant at room temperature. The crystals diffract beyond 3.5 A using a synchrotron-radiation source at a wavelength of 1.0 A. The crystals belong to the hexagonal space group P6(1)22 or P6(5)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 119.0, c = 166.4 A.
