Active site detailed view of both I-CreI variants in complex with cleavable and non-cleavable targets. (a) Cleavage analysis of I-CreI_D75N_target (left panel) vs I-CreI_D75N_target-null (right panel) and (b) I-CreI_3115_target (left panel) vs I-CreI_3115_target-null (right panel). Omit map (σ = 6.0) around the cleavable phosphodiester revealed no cleavage in the corresponding target-null and phosphodiester cleavage with their original targets. The green spheres represent the Mg2+ ions and the red sphere a water molecule. (c) Metal positioning analysis of I-CreI_D75N_target (left panel) vs I-CreI_D75N_target-null (right panel) and (d) I-CreI_3115_target (left panel) vs I-CreI_3115_target-null (right panel). Anomalous maps (σ = 6.0) around the active site revealed the presence of Mn2+ (grey spheres) as a catalytic ion with different occupancies depending on the target to cleave. Black arrows indicate the phosphodiester bond cleaved.
