The 3,N4-ethenocytosine (EDC) containing DNA duplex was prepared by annealing the EDC containing 13-mer crystallization oligonucleotide ('5-GAC ATG (EDC)TT GCC T-3') with its complementary strand that contained G opposite EDC (5'-GGC AAG CAT GTC A-3'). The delta79AAG-EDC complexes were prepared by mixing equimolar ratios of delta79AAG and EDC:G 13-mer DNA duplex at the final protein-DNA complex concentration of 0.3 mM in the complex buffer (20 mM Hepes-NaOH pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 5% v/v glycerol and 1 mM DTT). The complex was incubated on ice for 15 min and used for crystallization. The crystals were obtained upon mixing 1 uL of complex and 1 ul of the reservoir solution (100 mM sodium cacodylate pH 6.0, 200 mM manganese chloride and 20% polyethylene glycol (PEG)-3350) over 0.5 ml of the reservoir solution, followed by incubation for 2 days, VAPOR DIFFUSION, HANGING DROP, temperature 295K |
