Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction of the G3BP1 NTF2-like domain

The human G3BP1 NTF2-like domain was crystallized. Diffraction data were collected to 3.6 Å resolution. The nuclear transport factor 2-like (NTF2-like) domain of human G3BP1 was subcloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Crystals were obtained using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. Diffraction data were collected to 3.6 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belonged to the hexagonal space group P6₃22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 89.84, c = 70.02 Å. The crystals contained one molecule per asymmetric unit, with an estimated solvent content of 56%. Initial phases were obtained by molecular replacement
