To facilitate the preparation of ribonuclease H from Escherichia coli in an amount sufficient for crystallographic studies, we have constructed an overproduction system for the enzyme. The structural gene for the enzyme was subcloned from pSK750 (Kanaya, S., and Crouch, R. J. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 1276-1281) to make a plasmid vector pPL801, in which the gene was under the control of bacteriophage lambda PL promoter. Thermal induction of the gene accumulated the enzyme in E. coli N4830-1 to approximately 8% of the total cytosolic protein. The level of production of the enzyme in N4830-1 harboring pPL801 was 14 mg/liter culture, which was 3000 times as high as that in the host cell. The enzyme was purified with a yield of more than 80% and crystallized by utilizing the property that the solubility of the enzyme decreased at pH values close to its isoelectric point (pI = 9). Crystals were grown by successive seeding (hanging drop method) for x-ray crystallographic analysis. The crystals belong to space group P212121 with unit cell dimensions of alpha = 44.1 A, b = 87.0 A, c = 35.5 A and contain one molecule in an asymmetric unit. They diffracted x-rays beyond 2.5 A resolution.
