Abstract
The crystallographic structure of the CAP-DNA complex at 3.0 A resolution has been reported previously. For technical reasons, the reported structure had been determined using a gapped DNA molecule lacking two phosphates important for CAP-DNA interaction. In this work, we report the crystallographic structure of the CAP-DNA complex at 2.5 A resolution using a DNA molecule having all phosphates important for CAP-DNA interaction. The present resolution permits unambiguous identification of amino acid-base and amino acid-phosphate hydrogen bonded contacts in the CAP-DNA complex. In addition, the present resolution permits accurate definition of the kinked DNA conformation in the CAP-DNA complex.
Figure 1.
Figure 1. (a) DNA site for CAP. There are two conventions for numbering of positions within the DNA site for CAP: convention 1 (Ebright et al., 1984a,b, 1987, 1989; Zhang & Ebright, 1990; Zhang et al., 1991; Gunasekera et al., 1992) and convention 2 (Schultz et al., 1991). In this paper we use convention 1. (b) DNA molecule ``31-2'' used in the previously reported structure of the CAP-DNA complex (Schultz et al., 1990, 1991). DNA molecule ``31-2'' contains symmetry-related single-phosphate gaps between positions 9' and 10' and 13 and 14 (filled bars; see the text). (c) DNA molecule ``31-2E'' used in the present structure of CAP-DNA complex. DNA molecule ``31-2E'' contains symmetry-related single-phosphate gaps between positions 9 and 10 and 13' and 14' (filled bars; see the text).

Figure 4. Summary of CAP-DNA contacts in the structure of Schultz et al. (1991) (see footnote to p. 000). Contacts in the half-complex A are from Schultz et al. (1991); contacts in the half-complex B are from the inspection of coordinates (Brookhaven Protein Data Bank accession code 1cgp). (b) Summary of the CAP-DNA contacts in the present structure. Contacts to the DNA phosphates missing in the structure of Schultz et al (1991) are in boldface.
