Abstract

MRP14 is a protein that is specifically expressed in myeloid and epithelial cells during the stages of acute or chronic inflammatory states such as rheumatoid arthritis or sarcoidosis. MRP14 has EF-hand motifs as Ca(2+)-binding sites and belongs to the S100 family of proteins. This paper deals with the sample preparation (cloning, overexpression and purification), crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of recombinant human MRP14. Crystals of MRP14 were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. MRP14 crystals belong to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 57.59, b = 178.44, c = 61.23 A, beta = 113.17 degrees, and diffract to 2.1 A resolution.
