The intact lac repressor tetramer, which regulates expression of the lac operon in Escherichia coli, has been crystallized in the native form, with an inducer, and in a ternary complex with operator DNA and an anti-inducer. The crystals without DNA diffract to better than 3.5 A. They belong to the monoclinic space group C2 and have cell dimensions a = 164.7 A, b = 75.6 A, and c = 161.2 A, with alpha = gamma = 90 degrees and beta = 125.5 degrees. Cocrystals have been obtained with a number of different lac operator-related DNA fragments. The complex with a blunt-ended 16-base-pair strand yielded tetragonal bipyramids that diffract to 6.5 A. These protein-DNA cocrystals crack upon exposure to the gratuitous inducer isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactoside, suggesting a conformational change in the repressor-operator complex. IMAGES:
