Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a structure-specific nuclease that removes the RNA/DNA primer associated with Okazaki fragments in DNA replication. Here, crystals of the complex between the catalytic domain of human FEN1 and a DNA product have been obtained. For efficient crystallization screening, a DNA-protein complex crystallization screening (DPCS) kit was designed based on commercial crystallization kits. The crystal was found to belong to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 61.0, b = 101.3, c = 106.4 A, beta = 106.4 degrees. The asymmetric unit is predicted to contain two complexes in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. A diffraction data set was collected to a resolution of 2.75 A.
瓣内切核酸酶1(FEN1)是一种结构特异性核酸酶,可去除DNA复制过程中与冈崎片段相关的RNA/DNA引物。在此,已获得人FEN1催化结构域与DNA产物之间复合物的晶体。为了进行高效的结晶筛选,基于商业结晶试剂盒设计了一种DNA-蛋白质复合物结晶筛选(DPCS)试剂盒。发现该晶体属于空间群P2(1),晶胞参数为a = 61.0、b = 101.3、c = 106.4 Å,β = 106.4°。预计不对称单位在晶体学不对称单位中包含两个复合物。收集了分辨率为2.75 Å的衍射数据集。
