1H, 13C and 15N backbone resonance assignment of the calcium-activated EndoU endoribonuclease

Biomol NMR Assign. 2024 Dec;18(2):263-267. doi: 10.1007/s12104-024-10198-y. Epub 2024 Sep 9.

Abstract

The catalytic domain of the calcium-dependent endoribonuclease EndoU from Homo sapiens was expressed in E. coli with 13C and 15N labeling. A nearly complete assignment of backbone 1H, 15N, and 13C resonances was obtained, as well as a secondary structure prediction based on the assigned chemical shifts. The predicted secondary structures were almost identical to the published crystal structure of calcium-activated EndoU. This is the first NMR study of an eukaryotic member of the EndoU-like superfamily of ribonucleases.
