Molecular mechanism of DNA association with single-stranded DNA binding protein
During DNA replication, the single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) wraps single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with high affinity to protect it from degradation and prevent secondary structure formation. Although SSB binds ssDNA tightly, it can be repositioned along ssDNA to follow the advancement of the replication fork. Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, we characterized the molecular me...
متن کاملContinuous association of Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein with stable complexes of recA protein and single-stranded DNA.
The single-stranded DNA binding protein of Escherichia coli (SSB) stimulates recA protein promoted DNA strand exchange reactions by promoting and stabilizing the interaction between recA protein and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Utilizing the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of SSB, an ATP-dependent interaction has been detected between SSB and recA-ssDNA complexes. This interaction is continuo...
متن کاملBinding of the dimeric Deinococcus radiodurans single-stranded DNA binding protein to single-stranded DNA.
Deinococcus radiodurans single-stranded (ss) DNA binding protein (DrSSB) originates from a radiation-resistant bacterium and participates in DNA recombination, replication, and repair. Although it functions as a homodimer, it contains four DNA binding domains (OB-folds) and thus is structurally similar to the Escherichia coli SSB (EcoSSB) homotetramer. We examined the equilibrium binding of DrS...
متن کاملMechanism of RecO recruitment to DNA by single-stranded DNA binding protein
RecO is a recombination mediator protein (RMP) important for homologous recombination, replication repair and DNA annealing in bacteria. In all pathways, the single-stranded (ss) DNA binding protein, SSB, plays an inhibitory role by protecting ssDNA from annealing and recombinase binding. Conversely, SSB may stimulate each reaction through direct interaction with RecO. We present a crystal stru...
متن کاملMechanism of Interaction between Single-Stranded DNA Binding Protein and DNA†
A single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB), labeled with a fluorophore, interacts with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), giving a 6-fold increase in fluorescence. The labeled protein is the adduct of the G26C mutant of the homotetrameric SSB from Escherichia coli and a diethylaminocoumarin {N-[2-(iodoacetamido)ethyl]-7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-carboxamide}. This adduct can be used to assay production...
