title: Crystallization and diffraction of an Lhx4-Isl2 complex.
abstract: A stable intramolecular complex comprising the LIM domains of the LIM-homeodomain protein Lhx4 tethered to a peptide region of Isl2 has been engineered, purified and crystallized. The monoclinic crystals belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 46.8, b = 88.7, c = 49.9 A, beta = 111.9 degrees, and diffracted to 2.16 A resolution.
