The modifications at the CRP dimer interface, and the site-specific DNA strand cleavage are proposed to occur via oxidation of two species Met residues (Met114 and Met189, respectively) to reactive persulfoxides that damage neighbouring amino acids and DNA bases. Panel B: Material balance for Trp and Tyr residues determined by UPLC analysis with direct fluorescence detection on acid-hydrolysed UV-exposed CRP-cAMP complex. UPLC analysis of native and oxidized CRP showed that UV exposure of CRP resulted in significant modification (relative to controls) to Trp, Tyr, Ser, Met and Arg residues (Fig. 3A) . Q-TOF MS analysis of cAMP-CRP-DNA complexes exposed to UV light showed a similar pattern of damage, but higher extents of Met modification (7.6%; Fig. 3C ). ./cache/cord-004378-g1rxygef.txt ./txt/cord-004378-g1rxygef.txt
