The space group for the crystal structure of Smad5-MH1/GC-BRE was previously assigned as P31. After re-examining the crystallographic data, however, we wish to revise the space group to a higher symmetry one, P6422. As the sequence of GC-BRE DNA is palindromic, the revised structure contains one Smad5-MH1 monomer and a single GC-BRE DNA strand in an asymmetric unit, where the 14 ordered nucleotides form a double helix with a symmetry-related DNA strand. The physiological complex of two Smad5-MH1 monomers and one GC-BRE DNA duplex (the 2: 1 Smad5-MH1/GC-BRE complex) is basically the same as the previous Smad-DNA complex of P31 space group, with a C RMSD of∼ 0.4 A for 180 aligning residues.Owing to the limited resolution, not all side chains could be placed with high confidence and the side chains of some residues were removed. Fortunately, residues involved in the protein-DNA interactions are mostly ordered, and the interaction mode of two Smad5-MH1 monomers with the GC-BRE DNA duplex is unchanged. As the space group of this structure is changed, we revise Figure 3 (relabeling the molecules and side chains) and Supplementary Figure S3 (replacing panels A and B).
