Crystal structure of P. furiosus Mre11 with manganese and dAMP
Overview
To clarify functions of the Mre11/Rad50 (MR) complex in DNA double-strand, break repair, we report Pyrococcus furiosus Mre11 crystal structures, revealing a protein phosphatase-like, dimanganese binding domain capped by, a unique domain controlling active site access. These structures unify, Mre11's multiple nuclease activities in a single endo/exonuclease, mechanism and reveal eukaryotic macromolecular interaction sites by, mapping human and yeast Mre11 mutations. Furthermore, the structure of the, P. furiosus Rad50 ABC-ATPase with its adjacent coiled-coil defines a, compact Mre11/Rad50-ATPase complex and suggests that Rad50-ATP-driven, conformational switching directly controls the Mre11 exonuclease. Electron, microscopy, small angle X-ray scattering, and ultracentrifugation data of, human and P. furiosus MR reveal a dual functional complex consisting of a, (Mre11)2/(Rad50)2 heterotetrameric DNA processing head and a double, coiled-coil linker.
