The authors need to take the initiative and let the PDB know when their
structures have been published. The correspondence from the PDB people when
they are curating the structure deposition says something along these lines:
"When the primary citation associated with your entry is published, please
notify
us at depo...@deposit.rcsb.org and provide pubmed ID (if available), journal
name,
volume, page numbers, title and authors list."

We have recently obtained crystals from a small protein, and
interestingly, at least for me, they are hollow trigonal
rods (please see pictures attached).
Just out of curiosity, has anybody ever seen such feature for protein
crystals before?
Yes, I had very similar crystals once (PDB ID 2i6f*). They were in the I4
space group, and the lattice formed two solvent channels,
one large, one small, which I assumed ran the entire length of the crystal.
The chains adjacent to the large solvent channel were
poorly ordered and nearly uninterpretable in some datasets, so my best guess is
that the hollow crystals were the result of this
disorder. Fortunately, it didn't appear to have any effect on the diffraction
quality.
