The MnmE-MnmG complex is involved in tRNA modification. We have determined the crystal structure of Escherichia coli MnmG at 2.4-A resolution, mutated highly conserved residues with putative roles in flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) or tRNA binding and MnmE interaction, and analyzed the effects of these mutations in vivo and in vitro. Limited trypsinolysis of MnmG suggests significant conformational changes upon FAD binding.
MnmE-MnmG复合物参与tRNA修饰。我们已确定大肠杆菌MnmG在2.4埃分辨率下的晶体结构,对在黄素腺嘌呤二核苷酸(FAD)或tRNA结合以及MnmE相互作用中具有假定作用的高度保守残基进行了突变,并分析了这些突变在体内和体外的影响。对MnmG进行的有限胰蛋白酶消化表明,FAD结合后会发生显著的构象变化。
