CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE MUTANT HIS103ALA OF THE COLICIN E9 DNASE DOMAIN IN COMPLEX WITH ZN+2 (2.0 ANGSTROMS)
Overview
Controversy surrounds the metal-dependent mechanism of H-N-H, endonucleases, enzymes involved in a variety of biological functions, including intron homing and DNA repair. To address this issue we, determined the crystal structures for complexes of the H-N-H motif, containing bacterial toxin colicin E9 with Zn(2+), Zn(2+).DNA, and, Mg(2+).DNA. The structures show that the rigid V-shaped architecture of, the active site does not undergo any major conformational changes on, binding to the minor groove of DNA and that the same interactions are made, to the nucleic acid regardless of which metal ion is bound to the enzyme., The scissile phosphate contacts the single metal ion of the motif through, distortion of the DNA brought about by the insertion of the Arg-96-Glu-100, salt bridge into the ...
