Human DNA polymerase iota (Poliota) is one of the Y-family DNA polymerases involved in translesion synthesis (TLS), which allows continued replication at damaged DNA templates. Poliota has a noncanonical PCNA-interacting protein box (PIP-box) within an internal region of the protein. Poliota activity is stimulated by PCNA binding through the noncanonical PIP-box. To clarify the interaction of PCNA with the noncanonical PIP-box of Poliota, PCNA and a Poliota peptide carrying the noncanonical PIP-box complex have been cocrystallized. The crystal belongs to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 167.1, b = 68.7, c = 90.0 A, beta = 95.1 degrees . Structural analysis by molecular replacement is in progress.
人类DNA聚合酶ι(Poliota)是参与跨损伤合成(TLS)的Y家族DNA聚合酶之一,TLS可使受损DNA模板继续进行复制。Poliota在该蛋白质的内部区域有一个非典型的增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)相互作用蛋白框(PIP框)。通过非典型PIP框与PCNA的结合可刺激Poliota的活性。为阐明PCNA与Poliota非典型PIP框之间的相互作用,已使PCNA与携带非典型PIP框复合物的Poliota肽共结晶。该晶体属于空间群C2,晶胞参数为a = 167.1、b = 68.7、c = 90.0 Å,β = 95.1°。正在通过分子置换进行结构分析。
