Ligands: ZN Gene: rad50, PF1167 (PYRFU) Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [RAD50_PYRFU] Involved in DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR). The Rad50/Mre11 complex possesses single-strand endonuclease activity and ATP-dependent double-strand-specific 3'-5' exonuclease activity. Rad50 provides an ATP-dependent control of Mre11 by unwinding and/or repositioning DNA ends into the Mre11 active site.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00449] Publication Abstract from PubMed The Rad50-Mre11 nuclease complex plays a vital role in DNA repair in all domains of life. It recognizes and processes DNA double-strand breaks. Rad50 proteins fold into an extended structure with a ~ 20-60 nm long coiled coil connecting a globular ABC ATPase domain with a zinc hook dimerization domain. A published structure of an archaeal Rad50 zinc hook shows coiled coils pointing away from each other. Here we present the crystal structure of an alternate conformation displaying co-aligned coiled coils. Archaeal Rad50 may thus switch between rod-shaped and ring-like conformations as recently proposed for a bacterial homolog. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
