'''Crystal structure of Pot1 (protection of telomere)- ssDNA complex'''<br />


==Overview==
==Crystal structure of Pot1 (protection of telomere)- ssDNA complex==
Telomeres, specialized protein-DNA complexes that cap the ends of linear, chromosomes, are essential for protecting chromosomes from degradation and, end-to-end fusions. The Pot1 (protection of telomeres 1) protein is a, widely distributed eukaryotic end-capping protein, having been identified, in fission yeast, microsporidia, plants and animals. Schizosaccharomyces, pombe Pot1p is essential for telomere maintenance, and human POT1 has been, implicated in telomerase regulation. Pot1 binds telomeric single-stranded, DNA (ssDNA) with exceptionally high sequence specificity, the molecular, basis of which has been unknown. Here we describe the 1.9-A-resolution, crystal structure of the amino-terminal DNA-binding domain of S. pombe, Pot1p complexed with ssDNA. The protein adopts an, oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB) fold with two loops that, protrude to form a clamp for ssDNA binding. The structure explains the, sequence specificity of binding: in the context of the Pot1 protein, DNA, self-recognition involving base-stacking and unusual G-T base pairs, compacts the DNA. Any sequence change disrupts the ability of the DNA to, form this structure, preventing it from contacting the array of protein, hydrogen-bonding groups. The structure also explains how Pot1p avoids, binding the vast excess of RNA in the nucleus.
