title: Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the plant Rho protein ROP5.
abstract: The small G protein ROP5 from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana was purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. ROP5 crystals were obtained using PEG 3000 as precipitant and belong to space group P2(1). A data set was collected to 1.53 A resolution using synchrotron radiation at 100 K. A clear molecular-replacement solution was found using ROP4-GDP of the ROP4-GDP-PRONE8 complex as the search model.
