Structural highlights
FunctionCYPH_YEAST PPIases accelerate the folding of proteins. It catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides. Involved in histone deacetylase complexes, suggesting a function in chromatin. Imports fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) into the intermediate vacuole import and degradation (Vid) vesicles.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedFanzor (Fz) is an omegaRNA-guided endonuclease extensively found throughout the eukaryotic domain with unique gene editing potential. Here, we describe the structures of Fzs from three different organisms. We find that Fzs share a common omegaRNA interaction interface, regardless of the length of the omegaRNA, which varies considerably across species. The analysis also reveals Fz's mode of DNA recognition and unwinding capabilities as well as the presence of a non-canonical catalytic site. The structures demonstrate how protein conformations of Fz shift to allow the binding of double-stranded DNA to the active site within the R-loop. Mechanistically, examination of structures in different states shows that the conformation of the lid loop on the RuvC domain is controlled by the formation of the guide/DNA heteroduplex, regulating the activation of nuclease and DNA double-stranded displacement at the single cleavage site. Our findings clarify the mechanism of Fz, establishing a foundation for engineering efforts.
