Structural basis for 3' end recognition of nucleic acids by the Drosophila Argonaute 2 PAZ domain
Overview
We describe the solution structures of the Argonaute2 PAZ domain bound to RNA and DNA oligonucleotides. The structures reveal a unique mode of single-stranded nucleic acid binding in which the two 3'-terminal nucleotides are buried in a hydrophobic cleft. We propose that the PAZ domain contributes to the specific recognition of siRNAs by providing a binding pocket for their characteristic two-nucleotide 3' overhangs.
About this Structure
1T2R is a Single protein structure of sequence from Drosophila melanogaster. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
