title: Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of a 40 kDa N-terminal fragment of the yeast prion-remodeling factor Hsp104.
abstract: A 40 kDa N-terminal fragment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hsp104 was crystallized in two different crystal forms. Native 1 diffracted to 2.6 A resolution and belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 66.6, b = 75.8, c = 235.7 A. Native 2 diffracted to 2.9 A resolution and belonged to space group P6(1)22 or P6(5)22, with unit-cell parameters a = 179.1, b = 179.1, c = 69.7 A. This is the first report of the crystallization of a eukaryotic member of the Hsp100 family of molecular chaperones.
