Title: Structural Studies of MJ1529, an O6-methylguanine-DNAMethyltransferase

Journal Article · · Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry
OSTI ID:891630

The structure of an O{sub 6}-methylguanine methyltransferase from the thermophile Methanococcus jannaschii has been determined using multinuclear multidimensional NMR spectroscopy. The structure is similar to homologues from other organisms that have been determined by crystallography, with some variation in the N-terminal domain. The C-terminal domain is more highly conserved in both sequence and structure. Regions of the protein show broadening reflecting conformational flexibility that is likely related to function.
