The expression and crystallization of recombinant E. coli YeaZ protein, which belongs to a family of proteins of unknown function that are conserved in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, is reported. Phasing of the diffraction data was performed by the MAD method using the anomalous signal of a gadolinium complex, Gd-DOTMA.
