Three New Structures of Left-Handed RadA Helical Filaments: Structural Flexibility of N-Terminal Domain Is Critical for Recombinase Activity
RecA family proteins, including bacterial RecA, archaeal RadA, and eukaryotic Dmc1 and Rad51, mediate homologous recombination, a reaction essential for maintaining genome integrity. In the presence of ATP, these proteins bind a single-strand DNA to form a right-handed nucleoprotein filament, which catalyzes pairing and strand exchange with a homologous double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), by as-yet un...
متن کاملThe conducting form of gramicidin A is a right-handed double-stranded double helix.
The linear pentadecapeptide antibiotic, gramicidin D, is a naturally occurring product of Bacillus brevis known to form ion channels in synthetic and natural membranes. The x-ray crystal structures of the right-handed double-stranded double-helical dimers (DSDH) reported here agree with 15N-NMR and CD data on the functional gramicidin D channel in lipid bilayers. These structures demonstrate si...
متن کاملThe left-handed double helical nucleic acids.
The conversion of right-handed dsDNA and dsRNA to the left-handed Z-conformation involves a reorganization of the nucleotides relative to each other. This conversion can be facilitated by the tight binding of a Z-conformation-specific protein domain from the editing enzyme dsRNA adenosine deaminase. This may influence the modification of both pre-mRNAs as well as some replicating RNA viruses.
متن کاملPhotoresponsive double-stranded helices composed of complementary strands.
A photoresponsive single-handed double helical supramolecule composed of complementary strands bearing azobenzene moieties underwent a reversible trans-cis-isomerization regulated by photoirradiation, resulting in a change in its molecular length.
متن کاملTriple-helical DNA pairing intermediates formed by recA protein.
RecA protein aligns homologous single- and double-stranded DNA molecules in three-stranded joints that can extend over thousands of base pairs. When cross-linked by 4'-amino-4,5',8-trimethyl-psoralen the joint structure observed in nonuniform and divided into multiple substructures each a few hundred base pairs long. Two paired substructures are observed; at least one, and possibly both, are ri...
