Abstract

The P31T mutant of Staphylococcus aureus thioredoxin crystallizes spontaneously in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 41.7, b = 49.5, c = 55.6 A. The crystals diffract to 2.2 A resolution. Isomorphous crystals of wild-type thioredoxin as well as of other point mutants only grow when seeded with the P31T mutant. These results suggest seeding as a valuable tool complementing surface engineering for proteins that are hard to crystallize.
