The E subunit of vacuole-type ATPase from P. horikoshii OT3 was overexpressed, purified and crystallized. The native crystals diffracted X-rays to 1.85 Å resolution. The vacuole-type ATPases in eukaryotic cells translocate protons across various biological membranes including the vacuolar membrane by consuming ATP molecules. The E subunit of the multisubunit complex V-ATPase from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3, which has a molecular weight of 22.88 kDa, has been cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the microbatch method using PEG 4000 as a precipitant at 296 K. A data set to 1.85 Å resolution with 98.8% completeness and an R{sub merge} of 6.5% was collected from a single flash-cooled crystal using synchrotron radiation. The crystal belonged to the orthorhombic space group P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1}, with unit-cell parameters a = 52.196, b = 55.317, c = 77.481 Å, and is most likely to contain one molecule per asymmetric unit.
