DNA RECOGNITION BY BETA-SHEETS IN THE ARC REPRESSOR-OPERATOR CRYSTAL STRUCTURE
Overview
Transcription of the ant gene during lytic growth of bacteriophage P22 (ref. 1) is regulated by the cooperative binding of two Arc repressor dimers to a 21-base-pair operator site. Here we report the co-crystal structure of this Arc tetramer-operator complex at 2.6 A resolution. As expected from genetic and structural studies and from the co-crystal structure of the homologous Escherichia coli MetJ repressor, each Arc dimer uses an antiparallel beta-sheet to recognize bases in the major groove. However, the Arc and MetJ complexes differ in several important ways: the beta-sheet-DNA interactions of Arc are far less symmetrical; DNA binding by Arc is accompanied by important conformational changes in the beta-sheet; and Arc uses a different part of its protein surface for dimer-dimer interactions.
