THE STRUCTURE OF COLE1 ROP IN SOLUTION
Structural highlights
FunctionROP_ECOLX Regulates plasmid DNA replication by modulating the initiation of transcription of the primer RNA precursor. Processing of the precursor of the primer, RNAII, is inhibited by hydrogen bonding of RNAII to its complementary sequence in RNAI. ROP increases the affinity of RNAI for RNAII and thus decreases the rate of replication initiation events. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe structure of the ColE1 repressor of primer (rop) protein in solution was determined from the proton nuclear magnetic resonance data by a combined use of distance geometry and restrained molecular dynamics calculations. A set of structures was determined with low internal energy and virtually no violations of the experimental distance restraints. Rop forms homodimers: Two helical hairpins are arranged as an antiparallel four helix bundle with a left-handed rope-like twist of the helix axes and with left-handed bundle topology. The very compact packing of the side chains in the helix interfaces of the rop coiled-coil structure may well account for its high stability. Overall, the solution structure is highly similar to the recently determined X-ray structure (Banner, D.W., Kokkinidis, M. and Tsernoglou, D. (1987) J. Mol. Biol., 196, 657-675), although there are minor differences in regions where packing forces appear to influence the crystal structure.
