چکیده

The active DNA-dependent ATPase A domain (ADAAD), a member of the SWI2/SNF2 family, has been shown to bind DNA in a structure-specific manner, recognizing DNA molecules possessing double-stranded to single-stranded transition regions leading to ATP hydrolysis. Extending these studies we have delineated the structural requirements of the DNA effector for ADAAD and have shown that the single-stranded and double-stranded regions both contribute to binding affinity while the double-stranded region additionally plays a role in determining the rate of ATP hydrolysis. We have also investigated the mechanism of interaction of DNA and ATP with ADAAD and shown that each can interact independently with ADAAD in the absence of the other. Furthermore, the protein can bind to dsDNA as well as ssDNA molecules. However, the conformation change induced by the ssDNA is different from the conformational change induced by stem-loop DNA (slDNA), thereby providing an explanation for the observed ATP hydrolysis only in the presence of the double-stranded:single-stranded transition (i.e. slDNA).

The CSB protein actively wraps DNA.

The CSB protein is a member of the SWI2/SNF2 family of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factors and is essential for transcription-coupled DNA repair. The role of CSB in this DNA repair process is unclear, but the protein was found to remodel nucleosomes and alter DNA double helix conformation upon binding. Elucidating the nature of the change in DNA structure induced by CSB is of great inter...

Yeast recombination factor Rdh54 functionally interacts with the Rad51 recombinase and catalyzes Rad51 removal from DNA.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RDH54-encoded product, a member of the Swi2/Snf2 protein family, is needed for mitotic and meiotic interhomologue recombination and DNA repair. Previous biochemical studies employing Rdh54 purified from yeast cells have shown DNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis and DNA supercoiling by this protein, indicative of a DNA translocase function. Importantly, Rdh54 physically int...

Phosphoaminoglycosides inhibit SWI2/SNF2 family DNA-dependent molecular motor domains.

Members of the SWI2/SNF2 family of proteins participate in an array of nucleic acid metabolic functions, including chromatin remodeling and transcription. The present studies identify a novel strategy to specifically inhibit the functional DNA-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) motor domain common to SWI2/SNF2 family members. We have identified preparations of phosphoaminoglycosides, wh...

A eukaryotic SWI2/SNF2 domain, an exquisite detector of double-stranded to single-stranded DNA transition elements.

Many members of the SWI2/SNF2 family of adenosine triphosphatases participate in the assembly/disassembly of multiprotein complexes involved in the DNA metabolic processes of transcription, recombination, repair, and chromatin remodeling. The DNA molecule serves as an essential effector or catalyst for most of the members of this particular class of proteins, and the structure of the DNA may be...

X-Ray Structures of the Sulfolobus solfataricus SWI2/SNF2 ATPase Core and Its Complex with DNA

SWI2/SNF2 ATPases remodel chromatin or other DNA:protein complexes by a poorly understood mechanism that involves ATP-dependent DNA translocation and generation of superhelical torsion. Crystal structures of a dsDNA-translocating SWI2/SNF2 ATPase core from Sulfolobus solfataricus reveal two helical SWI2/SNF2 specific subdomains, fused to a DExx box helicase-related ATPase core. Fully base paire...
