Overexpression, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of a putative xylose isomerase from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

A putative xylose isomerase from B. thetaiotaomicron has been crystallized (space group P1, unit-cell parameters a = 96.3, b = 101.7, c = 108.3 Å, α = 82.8, β = 68.2, γ = 83.0°). Diffraction data have been collected to 2.10 Å resolution using synchrotron X-rays.
