Abstract
Human HIP/PAP is an adhesion protein expressed in normal pancreatic and Pan eth cells and overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. HIP/PAP was crysta llized using the Hampton Research Crystal Screen and SAmBA software to defi ne the optimal crystallization protocol. The crystals belong to the orthorh ombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), With unit-cell parameters a = 30.73, b = 4 9.35, c = 92.15 Angstrom and one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Flash-fro zen crystals diffract to 1.78 Angstrom resolution using synchrotron. radiat ion. A molecular-replacement solution was obtained using the human Reg/ lit hostathine structure and the AMoRe software.
