Solution NMR and X-ray crystal structures of Pseudomonas syringae Pspto_3016 from protein domain family PF04237 (DUF419) adopt a "double wing" DNA binding motif.

ABSTRACT: The protein Pspto_3016 is a 117-residue member of the protein domain family PF04237 (DUF419), which is to date a functionally uncharacterized family of proteins. In this report, we describe the structure of Pspto_3016 from Pseudomonas syringae solved by both solution NMR and X-ray crystallography at 2.5 Å resolution. In both cases, the structure of Pspto_3016 adopts a "double wing" α/β sandwich fold similar to that of protein YjbR from Escherichia coli and to the C-terminal DNA binding domain of the MotA transcription factor (MotCF) from T4 bacteriophage, along with other uncharacterized proteins. Pspto_3016 was selected by the Protein Structure Initiative of the National Institutes of Health and the Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium (NESG ID PsR293).
