==Overview==
==Overview==
BACKGROUND: Restriction endonucleases form a diverse family of proteins, with substantial variation in sequence, structure, and interaction with, recognition site DNA. BsoBI is a thermophilic restriction endonuclease, that exhibits both base-specific and degenerate recognition within the, sequence CPyCGPuG. RESULTS: The structure of BsoBI complexed to cognate, DNA has been determined to 1.7 A resolution, revealing several, unprecedented features. Each BsoBI monomer is formed by inserting a, helical domain into an expanded EcoRI-type catalytic domain. DNA is, completely encircled by a BsoBI dimer. Recognition sequence DNA lies, within a 20 A long tunnel of protein that excludes bulk solvent., Interactions with the specific bases are made in both grooves through, direct and water-mediated hydrogen bonding. Interaction with the, degenerate position is mediated by a purine-specific hydrogen bond to N7, ensuring specificity, and water-mediated H bonding to the purine N6/O6 and, pyrimidine N4/O4, allowing degeneracy. In addition to the conserved active, site residues of the DX(n)(E/D)ZK restriction enzyme motif, His253 is, positioned to act as a general base. CONCLUSIONS: A catalytic mechanism, employing His253 and two metal ions is proposed. If confirmed, this would, be the first example of histidine-mediated catalysis in a restriction, endonuclease. The structure also provides two novel examples of the role, of water in protein-DNA interaction. Degenerate recognition may be, mediated by employing water as a hydrogen bond donor or acceptor. The, structure of DNA in the tunnel may also be influenced by the absence of, bulk solvent.
