Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the human RuvB-like protein RuvBL1

RuvBL1, an evolutionary highly conserved protein related to the AAA+ family of ATPases, has been crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 293 K. The crystals are hexagonal and belong to space group P6, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 207.1, c = 60.7 A and three molecules in the asymmetric unit.
