Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies on the chromo shadow domain (CSD) of mouse heterochromatin protein M31

The chromo shadow domain (CSD) of the murin HP1-like protein M31 has been crystallized and X-ray diffraction data have been collected to 2.9 Å. The native crystals belong to space group C222₁ with unit-cell parameters a = 60.0, b = 95.6, c = 91.7 Å and α = β = γ = 90°
