NMR STRUCTURE OF THE CARBOXYTERMINAL DOMAINS OF ESCHERICHIA COLI NUSA
Overview
The carboxy-terminal domain of the transcription factor Escherichia coli, NusA, NusACTD, interacts with the protein N of bacteriophage lambda, lambdaN, and the carboxyl terminus of the E. coli RNA polymerase alpha, subunit, alphaCTD. We solved the solution structure of the unbound NusACTD, with high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Additionally, we, investigated the binding sites of lambdaN and alphaCTD on NusACTD using, NMR titrations. The solution structure of NusACTD shows two structurally, similar subdomains, NusA(353-416) and NusA(431-490), matching, approximately two homologous acidic sequence repeats. Further, characterization of NusACTD with 15N NMR relaxation data suggests that the, interdomain region is only weakly structured and that the subdomains are, not interacting. Both subdomains adopt an (HhH)2 fold. These folds are, normally involved in DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions. NMR, titration experiments show clear differences of the interactions of these, two domains with alphaCTD and lambdaN, in spite of their structural, similarity.
