Structural highlights
1ji5 is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Bacillus anthracis. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
DPS2_BACAN 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). It is capable of binding and sequestering Fe(2+) ion. Does not bind DNA.
