Crystallization and Preliminary Crystallographic Analysis of Allograft Inflammatory Factor 1
Allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1) is a 17-kDa IFN- γ inducible Ca2+-binding EF-hand protein involved in immune dysfunction and smooth muscle cell activation. AIF-1 was solubly expressed in E. coli and purified. Crystals of AIF-1 were grown at 291 K using PEG-8000 as precipitant. Diffraction by the AIF-1 crystal extends to 3.3 Å resolution, and the crystal belongs to the space group P43 with unit cell parameters a=b=73.4, c=49.1 Å .

- Protein & Peptide Letters publishes short papers in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, drug design etc. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallisation, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins are acceptable. Purely theoretical papers are also acceptable provided they provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function.
