Title: Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray studies of Vibrio cholerae pseudopilin EpsH

Journal Article · · Acta Crystallogr. F

EpsH is a minor pseudopilin protein of the Vibrio cholerae type II secretion system. A truncated form of EpsH with a C-terminal noncleavable His tag was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by sitting-drop vapor diffusion. A complete data set was collected to 1.71 {angstrom} resolution. The crystals belonged to space group P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1}, with unit-cell parameters a = 53.39, b = 71.11, c = 84.64 {angstrom}. There were two protein molecules in the asymmetric unit, which gave a Matthews coefficient V{sub M} of 2.1 {angstrom}{sup 3} Da{sup -1}, corresponding to 41.5% solvent content.
