Selenium derivatization of nucleic acids for crystallography
The high-resolution structure of the DNA (5'-GTGTACA-C-3') with the selenium derivatization at the 2'-position of T2 was determined via MAD and SAD phasing. The selenium-derivatized structure (1.28 A resolution) with the 2'-Se modification in the minor groove is isomorphorous to the native structure (2.0 A). To directly compare with the conventional bromine derivatization, we incorporated bromi...
متن کاملSelenium Derivatization of Nucleic Acids for Phase and Structure Determination in Nucleic Acid X-ray Crystallography
Selenium derivatization (via selenomethionine) of proteins for crystal structure determination via MAD phasing has revolutionized protein X-ray crystallography. It is estimated that over two thirds of all new crystal structures of proteins have been determined via Se-Met derivatization. Similarly, selenium functionalities have also been successfully incorporated into nucleic acids to facilitate...
متن کاملInternal derivatization of oligonucleotides with selenium for X-ray crystallography using MAD.
We have developed a route for the synthesis of 2'-selenium uridine analogues and oligonucleotides containing selenium labels, and have demonstrated for the first time a new strategy to covalently derivatize nucleotides with selenium for phase and structure determination in X-ray crystallography.
متن کاملTriiodide derivatization in protein crystallography.
Methods for producing protein derivatives using cryosoak techniques with triiodide solutions are described. The methods have been tested using six different proteins. SAD/SIRAS phasing was attempted for each protein using data measured with conventional Cu Kalpha X-ray equipment and synchrotron radiation. Refinement of all six derivative structures showed that iodine is able to bind as I(-) (as...
متن کاملStructure and Function Studies of Selenium Substituted Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are responsible for the storage of genetic information and directly participate in gene replication, transcription and expression, and thereby the control of nucleic acids leads to the regulation of genetic information flow and gene expression. Meanwhile, many non-coding RNAs are involved in signal transduction directly. Moreover, nucleic acid-based therapeutic strategies have bee...
