Publication Abstract from PubMed The x-ray crystal structure of a mutant of staphylococcal nuclease that contains a single glycine residue inserted in the C-terminal alpha-helix has been solved to 1.67 A resolution and refined to a crystallographic R value of 0.170. This inserted glycine residue is accommodated in the alpha-helix by formation of a previously uncharacterized bulge, which we term the alpha aneurism. A conformational search of known protein structures has identified the alpha aneurism in a number of protein families, including the histocompatibility antigens and hemoglobins. The alpha aneurism: a structural motif revealed in an insertion mutant of staphylococcal nuclease.,Keefe LJ, Sondek J, Shortle D, Lattman EE Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1993 Apr 15;90(8):3275-9.
