1VAPOR DIFFUSION, SITTING DROP7.5293The complex of pIRE1a (547-977) with staurosporine was prepared by mixing the protein with 0.5 mM staurosporine and incubated overnight on ice. The crystals were grown at 20C by vapor diffusion in sitting drop containing 2 ul of protein (13 mg/ml in 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 200 mM NaCl, 5 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA) and 2ul reservoir solution containing PEG 300 (30%-40%), 100 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 200 mM KCl. Small hexagonal plates appeared over 5-10 days and reached full size (0.05 X 0.75 X 0.15 mm) in ~20 days. The crystals were flash-frozen in liquid N2 directly from the crystallization drop. All diffraction data was collected at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratories, Life Sciences CAT, Sector 21
