title: The cloning, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of XC2113, a YaeQ protein from Xanthomonas campestris.
abstract: Xanthomonas campestris is a Gram-negative bacterium that is phytopathogenic to cruciferous plants and causes worldwide agricultural loss. It is therefore important to identify potential pathogenic factors involved in this plant disease. Here, the cloning, expression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of XC2113, a YaeQ protein possibly involved in the production of virulence factors in Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris, are reported. The XC2113 crystals diffracted well to a resolution of at least 1.28 A. They are orthorhombic and belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 32.86, b = 62.69, c = 79.96 A.
