To learn the structural basis for the unusually tight binding of 8-oxo-nucleotides to the MutT pyrophosphohydrolase of Escherichia coli (129 residues), the solution structure of the MutT-Mg(2+)-8-oxo-dGMP product complex (K(D) = 52 nM) was determined by standard 3-D heteronuclear NMR methods. Using 1746 NOEs (13.5 NOEs/residue) and 186 phi and psi values derived from backbone (15)N, Calpha, Halpha, and Cbeta chemical shifts, 20 converged structures were computed with NOE violations |
