Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of cyclic imide hydrolase (CIH) from Pseudomonas putida YZ-26.

A recombinant form of cyclic imide hydrolase from Pseudomonas putida YZ-26 has been crystallized by the hanging-drop method. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.9 Å resolution. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 111.91, b = 176.04, c = 176.06 Å. Assuming the presence of four molecules in the asymmetric unit gives a V(M) value of 3.10 Å(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 60.31%.
