Abstract

Coat protein I (COPI) is a protein complex composed of seven subunits that mediates retrograde transport of proteins and lipids from the cis-Golgi network to the endoplasmic reticulum and intra-Golgi membranes. The medium-sized δ subunit of COPI (δ-COP) is a 57 kDa protein with a C-terminal domain (CTD) and an N-terminal longin domain. Here, the δ-COP CTD was successfully cloned, purified and crystallized. Diffraction data were collected from native and selenomethionyl crystals of δ-COP CTD to resolutions of 2.60 and 2.30 Å, respectively. Both crystals belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2, with similar unit-cell parameters. The native crystals had unit-cell parameters a = 100.23, b = 136.77, c= 44.39 Å.
