The ytxM gene product from Bacillus subtilis has been cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using PEG 3350 as the precipitant. Multiple-wavelength anomalous dispersive X-ray data have been collected to 2.0 Å resolution on a single selenomethionine-incorporated crystal. This crystal belongs to the primitive orthorhombic system, with approximate unit-cell parameters a = 44.3, b = 90.9, c = 136.1 Å, α = β = γ = 90° and two monomers in the asymmetric unit.
