NMR Structure of the Escherichia Coli Protein YacG; A Novel Sequence Motif in the Zinc-Finger Family of Proteins

Abstract

We have used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine the solution structure of YacG (gi|7466984), a small zinc-binding protein encoded by the Escherichia coli yacG gene. YacG is a conserved hypothetical protein (COG 3024) with homologs in various bacterial species (Fig. 1). A structure similarity search using Dali1 did not reveal any structurally similar proteins (Z-score all
