NMR study of the structure and dynamics of the BRCT domain from the kinetochore protein KKT4

KKT4 is a multi-domain kinetochore protein specific to kinetoplastids, such as Trypanosoma brucei. It lacks significant sequence similarity to known kinetochore proteins in other eukaryotes. Our recent X-ray structure of the C-terminal region of KKT4 shows that it has a tandem BRCT (BRCA1 C Terminus) domain fold with a sulfate ion bound in a typical binding site for a phosphorylated serine or threonine. Here we present the ¹H, ^(13)C and ^(15)N resonance assignments for the BRCT domain of KKT4...
