Replication initiator proteins (Reps) from the HUH endonuclease family process specific single-stranded DNA sequences to initiate rolling-circle replication in viruses. Here, the first crystal structure of the apo state of a Rep domain from the smacovirus family is reported. The structure of the human smacovirus 1 Rep domain was obtained at 1.33 Å resolution and represents an expansion of the HUH endonuclease superfamily, allowing greater diversity in bioconjugation-tag applications.
复制起始蛋白 (Reps) 来自 HUH 内切酶家族,它们可以处理特定的单链 DNA 序列,从而在病毒中启动滚环复制。本文报道了 smacovirus 家族 Rep 结构域的 apo 状态的首个晶体结构。人源 smacovirus 1 Rep 结构域的晶体结构分辨率为 1.33 Å,属于 HUH 内切酶超家族的扩展,为生物偶联标签的应用提供了更大的多样性。
