(a) Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions of purified A. thaliana cry3. Lane 1, Sigma molecular-weight markers 7B (kDa; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA). Lane 2, purified cry3 (10 [micro]g) used for crystallization. The gel was stained with Coomassie blue. (b) Typical morphology of A. thaliana cry3 crystals. Crystals were obtained by equilibration against a solution of 85 mM sodium citrate pH 4.6, 170 mM ammonium acetate, 21.5% PEG 4000 and 7.5% glycerol. The average dimensions of the cry3 crystals were about 0.2 x 0.1 x 0.1 mm. (c) Self-rotation function calculated with a native A. thaliana cry3 data set employing data between 20.0 and 2.5 A resolution. A self-rotation search with the program MOLREP at the angle [chi] = 180[deg] was used to identify the twofold rotation axis.
