abstract = {Membrane-like nanodiscs (ND) have become an important tool
for the cell-free expression, solubilization, folding, and
in vitro structural and functional studies of membrane
proteins (MPs). Direct crystallization of MPs embedded in
NDs would be of high importance for structural biology.
However, despite considerable efforts we have been as yet
unable to obtain crystals suitable for X-ray
crystallography. In the present work, we show that an
ND-trapped MP can be transferred into the cubic phase and
crystallized in meso. Bacteriorhodopsin (BR) reconstituted
into nanodiscs was mixed with a lipidic mesophase and
crystallization was induced by adding a precipitant. The
resulting crystals diffract beyond 1.8 Å. The structure of
BR was solved at 1.9 Å and found to be indistinguishable
from previous structures obtained with the protein
solubilized in detergent. We suggest the proposed protocol
of in meso crystallization to be generally applicable to
ND-trapped MPs.},
