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.
