Crystallization of the Protective Antigen Protein of Bacillus anthracis

Abstract

The protective antigen protein, one of the three separate proteins constituting the exotoxin system of Bacillus anthracis, has been crystallized in a form suitable for high resolution structural studies. The crystal form which is most amenable to x-ray analysis is orthorhombic, space group P2,12121, a = 101.1 A, b = 95.4 A, c = 87.3 A, with one protective antigen monomer per asymmetric unit.
