SOLUTION STRUCTURE AND DNA-BINDING PROPERTIES OF A THERMOSTABLE PROTEIN FROM THE ARCHAEON SULFOLOBUS SOLFATARICUS
Overview
The archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus expresses large amounts of a small, basic protein, Sso7d, which was previously identified as a DNA-binding, protein possibly involved in compaction of DNA. We have determined the, solution structure of Sso7d. The protein consists of a triple-stranded, anti-parallel beta-sheet onto which an orthogonal double-stranded, beta-sheet is packed. This topology is very similar to that found in, eukaryotic Src homology-3 (SH3) domains. Sso7d binds strongly (Kd < 10, microM) to double-stranded DNA and protects it from thermal denaturation., In addition, we note that epsilon-mono-methylation of lysine side chains, of Sso7d is governed by cell growth temperatures, suggesting that, methylation is related to the heat-shock response.
