Abstract excerpt
Translin protein is highly conserved in eukaryotes. Human translin binds both ssDNA and RNA. Its nucleic acid binding site results from a combination of basic regions in the octameric structure. We report here the first biochemical characterization of wild-type Drosophila melanogaster (drosophila) translin and a chimeric translin, and present 3.5 A resolution crystal structures of drosophila P168S mutant translin...
