Crystals of the Msx-1 homeodomain–DNA complex have been obtained by hanging-drop vapor diffusion at 293 K in 12% PEG 4000 and 0.1 M sodium acetate pH 4.6. The homeodomain consists of 60 amino acids and is the DNA-binding domain. The DNA in the complex was 16 base pairs with the sequence 5′-TGTCACTAATTGAAGG-3′, containing an overhang T at each end. The crystals diffract to 2.15 Å (99.8% completeness) using cryogenic (123 K) conditions. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 33.66, b = 60.96, c = 83.37 Å. The structure will illuminate the details of Msx-1–DNA binding specificity and clarify its role in transcriptional regulation. Mutations in Msx-1 cause craniofacial deformities in mice.

DNA gyrase, a prokaryotic type II topoisomerase, can introduce negative supercoils into DNA in an ATP-dependent manner and relax negative supercoils in the absence of ATP. Gyrase is a tetramer of two A subunits (MW 105,000) and two B subunits (MW 95,000), and it interacts with about 140 base pairs of DNA (based on staphylococcal nuclease and DNase I protection experiments). We have undertaken an electron microscopic study of gyrase and its binding to DNA, in order to determine how DNA wraps in its complex with the protein.
