Crystallization and X-ray crystallographic analysis of recombinant TylP, a putative γ-butyrolactone receptor protein from Streptomyces fradiae.

TylP is one of five regulatory proteins involved in the regulation of antibiotic (tylosin) production, morphological and physiological differentiation in Streptomyces fradiae. Its function is similar to those of various γ-butyrolactone receptor proteins. In this report, N-terminally His-tagged recombinant TylP protein (rTylP) was overproduced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity.
