== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The B3 DNA binding domain is a plant-specific domain, found throughout the plant kingdom from the alga Chlamydomonas to grasses and flowering plants. Over 100 B3 domain-containing proteins are found in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and one of these is critical for accelerating flowering in response to prolonged cold treatment; an epigenetic process called vernalization. Despite the specific phenotype of genetic vrn1 mutants, the VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1) protein localizes throughout the nucleus and in vitro shows sequence non-specific binding. In this work we used a dominant repressor tag that overcomes genetic redundancy to show that VRN1 is involved in processes beyond vernalization that are essential for Arabidopsis development. To understand its sequence non-specific binding we crystallized VRN1208-341 and solved its crystal structure to 1.6 A resolution using Se-SAD methods. The crystallized construct comprises the second VRN1 B3 domain and a preceding region conserved among VRN1 orthologs, but absent in other B3 domains. We established the DNA binding face using NMR then mutated positively charged residues on this surface with a series of 16 Ala and Glu substitutions ensuring the protein fold was not disturbed using HSQC NMR spectra. A triple mutant R249E R289E R296E was almost completely incapable of DNA binding in vitro. Thus, we have revealed that although VRN1 is sequence non-specific in DNA binding, it has a defined DNA binding surface.
