The 1.5 Å resolution crystal structure of DynU16, a protein identified in the dynemicin-biosynthetic gene cluster, is reported. The structure adopts a di-domain helix-grip fold with a uniquely positioned open cavity connecting the domains. The elongated dimensions of the cavity appear to be compatible with the geometry of a linear polyene, suggesting the involvement of DynU16 in the upstream steps of dynemicin biosynthesis.
报道了一种在 dynemicin 生物合成基因簇中鉴定到的蛋白质 DynU16 的 1.5 Å 分辨率晶体结构。该结构采用双结构域螺旋夹折叠,具有独特定位的开放腔连接两个结构域。腔的细长尺寸似乎与线性多烯的几何形状兼容,表明 DynU16 参与了 dynemicin 生物合成的上游步骤。
