8 Crystal structure of the met repressor-operator complex at 2.8Å resolution reveals DNA recognition by β -strands
9 The crystal structure of the met repressor-operator complex shows two dimeric repressor molecules bound to adjacent sites 8 base pairs apart on an 18-base-pair DNA fragment .
10 Expression of many of the structural genes in the methionine biosynthetic pathway of E. coli ( reviewed in ref. 18 ) is controlled largely by the met repressor protein , the product of the metJ gene .
11 The met repressor protein was overexpressed and purified as before .
12 The bends lie at the centres of the met boxes , and correspond to compression of the major groove to a width of 9.4 around the bound repressor β -ribbons , and opening of the opposite minor groove to 8.3 .
13 Bending is accompanied by an increase of these parameters to about 5° at the met box centres , and higher values towards the ends of the duplex .
14 This interaction mediates recognition of A1 and T8 of the met box , but probably only in the presence of adjacent met boxes with bound repressors .
15 The central bases of the met box , C4 and G5 make no direct contacts to the protein , but form the centre of the 25° bend in the DNA , which allows it to wrap tightly round the repressor .
16 The met repressor may serve as a useful model for such systems .
17 The non-crystallographic 2-fold axis of the repressor coincides with the central 2-fold of the met box .
18 The sequence numbering of the met operator is as the description of the DNA fragment in the crystal , where bases 1–8 and 9–16 correspond to consensus met boxes
19 Cell extracts were prepared by sonication , treated with DNaseI to remove nucleic acids and the met repressor concentration estimated using a combination of the Bradford assay and SDS-PAGE .
20 Autoradiographs of the gels were then analysed by densitometry and the met repressor protein concentration at which 50% of the input DNA was retarded from its unshifted position was estimated .
