Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.8Å Ligands: 5CM, ZN Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function VSR_ECOLI Deamination of 5-methylcytosine in DNA results in T/G mismatches. If unrepaired, these mismatches can lead to C-to-C transition mutations. The very short patch (VSP) repair process in E.coli counteracts the mutagenic process by repairing the mismatches in favor of the G-containing strand. This enzyme is an endonuclease that nicks double-stranded DNA within the sequence CT(AT)GN or NT(AT)GG next to the thymidine residue that is mismatched to 2'-deoxyguanosine. The incision is mismatch-dependent and strand-specific. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Very-short-patch repair (Vsr) enzymes occur in a variety of bacteria, where they initiate nucleotide excision repair of G:T mismatches arising by deamination of 5-methyl-cytosines in specific regulatory sequences. We have now determined the structure of the archetypal dcm-Vsr endonuclease from Escherichia coli bound to the cleaved authentic hemi-deaminated/hemi-methylated dcm sequence 5'-C-OH-3' 5'-p-T-p-A-p-G-p-G-3'/3'-G-p-G-p-T-p(Me5)C-p-C formed by self-assembly of a 12mer oligonucleotide into a continuous nicked DNA superhelix. The structure reveals the presence of a Hoogsteen base pair within the deaminated recognition sequence and the substantial distortions of the DNA that accompany Vsr binding to product sites.
