CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF DCOH, A BIFUNCTIONAL, PROTEIN-BINDING TRANSCRIPTION COACTIVATOR
Overview
DCoH, the dimerization cofactor of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1, stimulates, gene expression by associating with specific DNA binding proteins and also, catalyzes the dehydration of the biopterin cofactor of phenylalanine, hydroxylase. The x-ray crystal structure determined at 3 angstrom, resolution reveals that DCoH forms a tetramer containing two saddle-shaped, grooves that comprise likely macromolecule binding sites. Two equivalent, enzyme active sites flank each saddle, suggesting that there is a spatial, connection between the catalytic and binding activities. Structural, similarities between the DCoH fold and nucleic acid-binding proteins argue, that the saddle motif has evolved to bind diverse ligands or that DCoH, unexpectedly may bind nucleic acids.
