Abstract
Sso7d and Sac7d are two small chromatin proteins from the hyperthermophilic archaeabacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, respectively. The crystal structures of Sso7d-GTGATCGC, Sac7d-GTGATCGC and Sac7d-GTGATCAC have been determined and refined at 1.45 A, 2.2 A and 2.2 A, respectively, to investigate the DNA binding property of Sso7d/Sac7d in the presence of a T-G mismatch base-pair. Detailed structural analysis revealed that the intercalation site includes the T-G mismatch base-pair and Sso7d/Sac7d bind to that mismatch base-pair in a manner similar to regular DNA. In the Sso7d-GTGATCGC complex, a new inter-strand hydrogen bond between T2O4 and C14N4 is formed and well-order bridging water molecules are found. The results suggest that the less stable DNA stacking site involving a T-G mismatch may be a preferred site for protein side-chain intercalation.

Figure 4. (a) Superposition of DNA intercalation sites for four Sso7d/Sac7d-DNA complexes: Sso7d-GCGATCGC, Sso7d-GTGATCGC, Sso7d-GTAATTAC and Sac7d-GTAATTAC. The models are fitted by the common backbone atoms of protein. (b) The schematic diagram of the DNA backbone conformation in Sso7d-GTGATCGC. The sugars around the intercalation site adopt C3'-endo (N-type) pucker, similar to A-DNA conformation. The right panel shows the intercalation site of DNA, fitted to A-DNA using base-pair atoms.
