Abstract:
Rec3 is a subdomain of the recognition (Rec) lobe within CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats)-associated protein Cas9 that is involved in nucleic acid binding and is critical to HNH endonuclease activation. Here, we report the backbone resonance assignments of an engineered construct of the Rec3 subdomain from Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9. We also analyze backbone chemical shift data to predict secondary structure and an overall fold that is consistent with that of Rec3 from the full-length S. pyogenes Cas9 protein.
