Popis: A complex comprising the epsilon subunit of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase (ECF1-ATPase) and a glutathione-S-transferase gamma subunit (of ECF1-ATPase) fusion protein was formed in vivo and purified from cell extracts by binding to glutathione-agarose beads. The glutathione-S-transferase was released from the complex by digestion with thrombin and the gamma/epsilon complex purified by cation-exchange chromatography. Crystals of the complex were grown by vapour diffusion using PEG8000 as precipitant. The crystals are orthorhombic, space-group P2(1)2(1)2 with a = 161.9 A, b = 44.1 A and c = 63.4 A. The volume of the asymmetric unit is consistent with the presence of a complex of one gamma subunit and one epsilon subunit.
