Ligands: CA NonStd Res: 5CM, DI Activity: Type II site-specific deoxyribonuclease, with EC number 3.1.21.4 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum Function [T2E5_ECOLX] Recognizes the double-stranded sequence GATATC and cleaves after T-3. Publication Abstract from PubMed Specific recognition by EcoRV endonuclease of its cognate, sharply bent GATATC site at the center TA step occurs solely via hydrophobic interaction with thymine methyl groups. Mechanistic kinetic analyses of base analog-substituted DNAs at this position reveal that direct readout provides 5 kcal mol(-1) toward specificity, with an additional 6-10 kcal mol(-1) arising from indirect readout. Crystal structures of several base analog complexes show that the major-groove hydrophobic contacts are crucial to forming required divalent metal-binding sites, and that indirect readout operates in part through the sequence-dependent free-energy cost of unstacking the center base-pair step of the DNA.
