Abstract
The kinase associated phosphatase (KAP) is a human dual specificity protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates the cell cycle control protein, cyclin dependent kinase-2 on Thr 160 in a cyclin dependent manner (Poon & Hunter, 1995). We report here the over-expression of KAP in Escherichia coli as an N-terminal His-tagged protein using a modified pET-28a T7-expression vector. The recombinant protein was purified to homogeneity and crystallized. The crystals diffract to 2.3 A resolution when exposed to synchrotron radiation and belong to space group P6(1)22, or its enantiomorph P6(5)22, with unit cell dimensions a = b = 74.5 A, c = 139.5 A.
