title: Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of HP1352, a putative DNA methyltransferase in Helicobacter pylori.
abstract: The putative methyltransferase gene HP1352 from Helicobacter pylori strain 26695 was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The 359-amino-acid gene product was purified and crystallized. The crystals belong to space group I2(1)2(1)2(1) and show diffraction to at least 2.5 A resolution. The unit-cell parameters are a = 69.6, b = 86.6, c = 140.0 A. A greater than 90% complete native data set has been collected and structure determination using the molecular-replacement method is ongoing.
