We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

1fiu is a 12 chain structure with sequence from Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
The crystal structure of the NgoMIV restriction endonuclease in complex with cleaved DNA has been determined at 1.6 A resolution. The crystallographic asymmetric unit contains a protein tetramer and two DNA molecules cleaved at their recognition sites. This is the first structure of a tetrameric restriction enzyme-DNA complex. In the tetramer, two primary dimers are arranged back to back with two oligonucleotides bound in clefts on opposite sides of the tetramer. The DNA molecules retain a B-type conformation and have an enclosed angle between their helical axes of 60 degrees. Sequence-specific interactions occur in both the major and minor grooves. Two Mg2+ ions are located close to the cleaved phosphate at the active site of NgoMIV. Biochemical experiments show that interactions between the recognition sites within the tetramer greatly increase DNA cleavage efficiency.
