Crystallization of and preliminary X-ray data for the mouse major urinary protein and rat alpha-2u globulin.

Abstract:

:Crystals of the mouse major urinary protein (MUP) and rat alpha-2u globulin (AMG) have been grown from solutions of polyethylene glycol 3350 and CdCl2, respectively. The crystals differ both in their morphologies and space groups but have very similar unit cell sizes. AMG crystallized in P2(1) (a = 56.6 A, b = 103.8 A, c = 62.7 A, beta = 95.1 degrees) with four subunits/asymmetric unit, while MUP gave crystals in P4(1)2(1)2 or P4(3)2(1)2 (a = 57.3 A, c = 109.9 A) with one subunit/asymmetric unit. Both crystal forms diffract beyond 2.8 A resolution.
