Positively charged C-terminal subdomains of EcoRV endonuclease: contributions to DNA binding, bending, and cleavage.
Biochemistry - 26 Sept 2006
Hiller David A, Perona John J
Abstract excerpt
The carboxy-terminal subdomains of the homodimeric EcoRV restriction endonuclease each bear a net charge of +4 and are positioned on the inner concave surface of the 50 degree DNA bend that is induced by the enzyme. A complete kinetic and structural analysis of a truncated EcoRV mutant lacking these domains was performed to assess the importance of this diffuse charge in facilitating DNA binding, bending, and...
