pubmed:abstractText |
We describe a structural model for DNA binding by the caspase-activated DNase (CAD). Results of a mutational analysis and computational modeling suggest that DNA is bound via a positively charged surface with two functionally distinct regions, one being the active site facing the DNA minor groove and the other comprising distal residues close to or directly from helix alpha4, which binds DNA in the major groove. This bipartite protein-DNA interaction is present once in the CAD/inhibitor of CAD heterodimer and repeated twice in the active CAD dimer.
