INTRON ENCODED HOMING ENDONUCLEASE I-PPOI/DNA COMPLEX LACKING CATALYTIC METAL ION
Overview
A novel mechanism of DNA endonucleolytic cleavage has been visualized for the homing endonuclease I-PpoI by trapping the uncleaved enzyme-substrate complex and comparing it to the previously visualized product complex. This enzyme employs a unique single metal mechanism. A magnesium ion is coordinated by an asparagine residue and two DNA oxygen atoms and stabilizes the phosphoanion transition state and the 3'oxygen leaving group. A hydrolytic water molecule is activated by a histidine residue for an in-line attack on the scissile phosphate. A strained enzyme-substrate-metal complex is formed before cleavage, then relaxed during the reaction.
