Crystal structure of the NurA–dAMP–Mn2+ complex

Generation of the 3' overhang is a critical event during homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA double strand breaks. A 5'-3' nuclease, NurA, plays an important role in generating 3' single-stranded DNA during archaeal HR, together with Mre11-Rad50 and HerA. We have determined the crystal structures of apo- and dAMP-Mn(2)(+)-bound NurA from Pyrococcus furiousus (Pf NurA) to provide the bas...
