Mitogillin is a ribonuclease secreted by the fungus Aspergillus restrictus. The substrate for mitogillin is a short, universally conserved, sequence in ribosomal RNA. Cleavage of this sequence inactivates protein synthesis. Mitogillin was crystallized by a two-chamber vapor/liquid diffusion method using ethanol as the precipitant. This method has wider potential in the use of volatile organic solvents as precipitants. Crystals of mitogillin diffract X-rays to lattice d-spacings of at least 1.6 A, and belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with a = 50.4 A, b = 82.4 A, c = 38.2 A and beta = 99.8 degrees.
