Figure 3. Dimerization of SsoCas6.

Figure 3

(A) View of Leu170 and Val202 at the dimer interface. These residues were each changed to aspartate to disrupt the interface. (B) Gel-filtration elution profiles of dimeric SsoCas6 and the SsoCas6-L170D/V202D variant, which elutes with a retention volume consistent with a monomeric composition (expected molecular mass of 33 kDa). (C) Thermofluor analysis of heat-induced denaturation of wild-type (WT) and monomeric SsoCas6, showing the 7°C difference in melting temperatures (Tm). (D) Single-turnover kinetic comparison of wild-type and monomeric SsoCas6. The catalytic activity of the monomer is reduced by 95% compared with the wild-type (WT) enzyme.
