The production and crystallization of the tetratricopeptide-repeat domain of human small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide-repeat protein are reported. A 2.4 Å native diffraction data set has been obtained. Human small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide-repeat protein (hSGT) is a 35 kDa protein implicated in a number of biological processes that include apoptosis, cell division and intracellular cell transport. The tetratricopeptide-repeat (TPR) domain of hSGT has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Here, the crystallization and preliminary diffraction analysis of the TPR domain of hSGT is reported. X-ray diffraction data were processed to a resolution of 2.4 Å. Crystals belong to space group P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2, with unit-cell parameters a = 67.82, b = 81.93, c = 55.92 Å, α = β = γ = 90°.
