LOW RESOLUTION SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF THE TWO DNA-BINDING DOMAINS IN Schizosaccharomyces pombe ABP1 PROTEIN
Overview
We have solved the solution structure of the N-terminal region of the, fission yeast centromere protein, Abp1, bound to a 21-base pair DNA, fragment bearing its recognition site (Mw = 30 kDa). Although the two, DNA-binding domains in the Abpl protein were defined well by a, conventional NOE-based NMR methodology, the overall structure of the Abpl, protein was poorly defined, due to the lack of interdomain distance, restraints. Therefore, we additionally used residual dipolar couplings, measured in a weakly aligned state, and rotational diffusion anisotropies., Neither the NH residual dipolar couplings nor the backbone 15N T1/T2 data, were sufficient to determine the overall structure of the Abpl protein, due to spectral overlap. We used a combination of these two orientational, restraints (residual dipolar coupling and rotational diffusion, anisotropy), which significantly improved the convergence of the overall, structures. The range of the observed T1/T2 ratios was wider (20-50 for, the secondary structure regions of Abp 1) than the previously reported, data for several globular proteins, indicating that the overall shape of, the Abp1.DNA complex is ellipsoid. This extended form would facilitate the, recognition of the two separate sites in the relatively long DNA sequence, by the DNA-binding domains of Apb1.
