The peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein (Pal) from Escherichia coli is part of
the Tol--Pal multiprotein complex used by group A colicins to penetrate and kill
cells. Pal homologues are found in many Gram-negative bacteria and the Tol--Pal
system is thought to play a role in bacterial envelope integrity. The Pal
protein comprises 152 amino acids. Crystals of the C-terminal 109-amino-acid
fragment of the Pal protein have been produced. The crystals belong to the
tetragonal space group I4(1), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 89.3, c = 67.2
A. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Frozen crystals diffract to
at least 2.8 A resolution using synchrotron radiation.
Selenomethionine-substituted truncated Pal protein is currently being produced
in order to use multiwavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) for phasing.
