Figure 4. Stereo views of the WT M.HhaI and R165A M.HhaI bound to cognate DNA, and the WT M.HhaI bound to DNA with constrained sugar analog substitution.^25 (a)1 The active site of the WT M.HhaI is shown with Cys81, Glu119, Val121, Arg163, Arg165, and AdoHcy, which have contacts (dotted red lines) to the flipped out cytosine base (3MHT.pdb). (a)2 The flipped out cytosine is positioned in the active site pocket in the WT M.HhaI protein. (b)1 The active site of the R165A M.HhaI is shown with Cys81, Glu119, Asn120, Val121, Arg163, Glu164, and Ala165, which have contacts to the flipped out cytosine base (dotted red lines). (b)2 The flipped out cytosine base is positioned in the active site pocket in the R165A M.HhaI protein. (c) The flipped out South-constrained abasic carbocyclic sugar is rotated in the active site pocket in the WT M.HhaI protein (1SKM.pdb).The distance unit is Å and the heteroatom colors are: red, oxygen; blue, nitrogen; orange, sulfur; hot pink, phosphorus.
