TOROIDAL STRUCTURE OF LAMBDA EXONUCLEASE DETERMINED AT 2.4 ANGSTROMSTOROIDAL STRUCTURE OF LAMBDA EXONUCLEASE DETERMINED AT 2.4 ANGSTROMS

Structural highlights 1avq is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Enterobacteria phage lambda. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Ligands: , Activity: Exodeoxyribonuclease (lambda-induced), with EC number 3.1.11.3 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, RCSB, PDBsum Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed Structure determination at 2.4 angstrom resolution shows that lambda-exonuclease consists of three subunits that form a toroid. The central channel is funnel shaped, tapering from an inner diameter of about 30 angstroms at the wider end to 15 angstroms at the narrow end. This is adequate to accommodate the DNA substrate and thus provides a structural basis for the ability of the enzyme to sequentially hydrolyze thousands of nucleotides in a highly processive manner. The results also suggest the locations of the active sites and the constraints that limit cleavage to a single strand.
