Crystal structure of an archaeal dps-homologue from Halobacterium salinarumCrystal structure of an archaeal dps-homologue from Halobacterium salinarum
Structural highlights
FunctionDPS_HALSA Protects DNA from oxidative damage by sequestering intracellular Fe(2+) ion and storing it in the form of Fe(3+) oxyhydroxide mineral. One hydrogen peroxide oxidizes two Fe(2+) ions, which prevents hydroxyl radical production by the Fenton reaction (By similarity). Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
