THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF E. COLI MUTS BINDING TO DNA WITH A C:A MISMATCH
Overview
We have refined a series of isomorphous crystal structures of the, Escherichia coli DNA mismatch repair enzyme MutS in complex with G:T, A:A, C:A and G:G mismatches and also with a single unpaired thymidine. In all, these structures, the DNA is kinked by approximately 60 degrees upon, protein binding. Two residues widely conserved in the MutS family are, involved in mismatch recognition. The phenylalanine, Phe 36, is seen, stacking on one of the mismatched bases. The same base is also seen, forming a hydrogen bond to the glutamate Glu 38. This hydrogen bond, involves the N7 if the base stacking on Phe 36 is a purine and the N3 if, it is a pyrimidine (thymine). Thus, MutS uses a common binding mode to, recognize a wide range of mismatches.
