摘要: Nectin-4 belongs to a family of immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecules and is highly expressed in cancer cells. Recently, nectin-4 was found to be a receptor of measles virus and the IgV domain sustains strong binding to measles virus H protein. In this study, the successful expression and purification of human nectin-4 V domain (nectin-4v) is reported. The purified protein was crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted to 1.8 angstrom resolution and belonged to space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a = 33.1, b = 51.7, c = 56.9 angstrom, beta = 94.7 degrees. Preliminary analysis of the diffraction data was also performed.
