Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the reduced Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin derived from Pseudomonas sp. strain KKS102

The reduced form of BphA3, a Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin component of the biphenyl dioxygenase BphA from Pseudomonas sp. strain KKS102, was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method under anaerobic conditions. The crystal belongs to space group P3₁21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 49.6, c = 171.9 Å, and diffracts to a resolution of 1.95 Å. A molecular-replacement calculation using oxidized BphA3 as a search model yielded a satisfactory solution.
