Single-molecule imaging reveals the mechanism of Exo1 regulation by single-stranded DNA binding proteins.
Exonuclease 1 (Exo1) is a 5'→3' exonuclease and 5'-flap endonuclease that plays a critical role in multiple eukaryotic DNA repair pathways. Exo1 processing at DNA nicks and double-strand breaks creates long stretches of single-stranded DNA, which are rapidly bound by replication protein A (RPA) and other single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSBs). Here, we use single-molecule fluorescence imag...
متن کاملSingle-stranded DNA-binding Proteins
The emergence of DNA as the predominant hereditary material of life has necessitated the evolution of proteins whose sole function is the maintenance and care of these vital molecules. In a typical cell, there is a wide array of proteins with specialized functions in DNA metabolism that allow the cell to maintain and replicate its genome. In order to copy or make repairs to DNA, the double heli...
متن کاملRegulation of single-stranded DNA binding by the C termini of Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB) protein.
The homotetrameric Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB) protein plays a central role in DNA replication, repair, and recombination. In addition to its essential activity of binding to transiently formed single-stranded (ss) DNA, SSB also binds an array of partner proteins and recruits them to their sites of action using its four intrinsically disordered C-terminal tails. Here we s...
متن کاملThe SOSS1 single-stranded DNA binding complex promotes DNA end resection in concert with Exo1.
The human SSB homologue 1 (hSSB1) has been shown to facilitate homologous recombination and double-strand break signalling in human cells. Here, we compare the DNA-binding properties of the SOSS1 complex, containing SSB1, with Replication Protein A (RPA), the primary single-strand DNA (ssDNA) binding complex in eukaryotes. Ensemble and single-molecule approaches show that SOSS1 binds ssDNA with...
متن کاملThe process of displacing the single-stranded DNA-binding protein from single-stranded DNA by RecO and RecR proteins
The regions of single-stranded (ss) DNA that result from DNA damage are immediately coated by the ssDNA-binding protein (SSB). RecF pathway proteins facilitate the displacement of SSB from ssDNA, allowing the RecA protein to form protein filaments on the ssDNA region, which facilitates the process of recombinational DNA repair. In this study, we examined the mechanism of SSB displacement from s...
