Pyrococcus furiosus PF2050 is an uncharacterized putative protein that contains two DUF2666 domains. Functional and structural studies of PF2050 have not previously been performed. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of PF2050. The structure of PF2050 showed that the two DUF2666 domains interact tightly, forming a globular structure. Each DUF2666 domain comprises an antiparallel β-sheet and an α-helical bundle. One side of the PF2050 structure has a positively charged basic cleft, which may have a DNA-binding function. Furthermore, we confirmed that PF2050 interacts with circular and linear dsDNA.

PDBsum (tool)

RRID:SCR_006511

Pictorial database of an at-a-glance overview of the contents of each 3D structure deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). It shows the molecule(s) that make up the structure (ie protein chains, DNA, ligands and metal ions) and schematic diagrams of their interactions. Extensive use is made of the freely available RasMol molecular graphics program to view the molecules and their interactions in 3D. Entries are accessed either by their 4-character PDB code, or by one of the two search boxes provided on the PDBsum home page: text search or sequence search. The information given on each PDBsum entry is spread across several pages, as listed below and accessible from the tabs at the top of the page. Only the relevant tabs will be present on any given page. * Top page - summary information including thumbnail image of structure, molecules in structure, enzyme reaction diagram (where relevant), GO functional assignments, and selected figures from key reference * Protein - wiring diagram, topology diagram(s) by CATH domain, and residue conservation (where available) * DNA/RNA - DNA/RNA sequence and NUCPLOT showing interactions made with protein * Ligands - description of bound molecule and LIGPLOT showing interactions made with protein * Prot-prot - schematic diagrams of any protein-protein interfaces and the residue-residue interactions made across them * Clefts - listing of top ten clefts in the surface of the protein, listed by volume with any bound ligands shown * Links - links to external databases Additionally, it accepts users'''' own PDB format files and generates a private set of analyses for each uploaded structure.

MolProbity (tool)

RRID:SCR_014226

A structure-validation web application which provides an expert-system consultation about the accuracy of a macromolecular structure model, diagnosing local problems and enabling their correction. MolProbity works best as an active validation tool (used as soon as a model is available and during each rebuild/refine loop) and when used for protein and RNA crystal structures, but it may also work well for DNA, ligands and NMR ensembles. It produces coordinates, graphics, and numerical evaluations that integrate with either manual or automated use in systems such as PHENIX, KiNG, or Coot.
