Stereochemical support for Serratia endonuclease active-site geometry*
Earlier observation that stereoregular All-Rp-PS-oligonucleotides in the presence of nonsequence-specific Serratia endonuclease undergo nucleolytic degradation, confronted with recently published results on the active-site architecture of this enzyme, strongly supports an involvement of 3′-bridging and pro-Sp-nonbridging oxygen atoms of scissile internucleotide bond in the interactions with hyd...
متن کاملActive site substitutions delineate distinct classes of eubacterial flap endonuclease
FENs (flap endonucleases) play essential roles in DNA replication, pivotally in the resolution of Okazaki fragments. In eubacteria, DNA PolI (polymerase I) contains a flap processing domain, the N-terminal 5'-->3' exonuclease. We present evidence of paralogous FEN-encoding genes present in many eubacteria. Two distinct classes of these independent FEN-encoding genes exist with four groups of eu...
متن کاملActive Site-directed Inhibition by Optically Pure Epoxyalkyl Cellobiosides Reveals Differences in Active Site Geometry
1,31,4-@-~-Glucan 4-glucanohydrolases (EC 3.2.1.73) from Bacillus subtilis and barley (Hordeum vulgare) with identical substrate specificities but unrelated primary structures have been probed with (R,S)epoxyalkyl (-propyl, -butyl, -pentyl) 8-cellobiosides and with optically pure (3s)and (3R)-3,4-cellobiosides as active site-directed inhibitors. The optimal aglycon length for inactivation diff...
متن کاملStructure of chromatin subunits: an endonuclease Serratia marcescens study.
Electrophoretic properties of chromatin subunits--nucleosomes--obtained by treatment of chromatin with the Serratia marcescens endonuclease have been studied. Double-stranded breaks of DNA between adjacent nucleosomes do not necessarily lead to their disjunction. Fragmentation of the DNA within the nucleosomes may proceed simultaneously with the breakdown of the DNA between the nucleosomes at e...
متن کاملActive site geometry of glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase.
Glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, or UGPase, catalyzes the production of UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate and UTP. Because of the biological role of UDP-glucose in glycogen synthesis and in the formation of glycolipids, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans, the enzyme is widespread in nature. Recently this laboratory reported the three-dimensional structure of UGPase from Escherichia col...
