Replication protein A (RPA) is the predominant eukaryotic single-stranded DNA binding protein composed of 70, 34, and 14 kDa subunits. RPA plays central roles in the processes of DNA replication, repair, and recombination, and the p34 subunit of RPA is phosphorylated in a cell-cycle-dependent fashion and is hyperphosphorylated in response to DNA damage. We have developed an in vitro procedure for the preparation of hyperphosphorylated RPA and characterized a series of novel sites of phosphorylation using a combination of in gel tryptic digestion, SDS-PAGE and HPLC, MALDI-TOF MS analysis, 2D gel electrophoresis, and phosphospecific antibodies. We have mapped five phosphorylation sites on the RPA p34 subunit and five sites of phosphorylation on the RPA p70 subunit. No modification of the 14 kDa subunit was observed. Using the procedures developed with in vitro phosphorylated RPA, we confirmed a series of phosphorylation events on RPA from HeLa cells that was hyperphosphorylated in vivo in response to the DNA damaging agents, aphidicolin and hydroxyurea. 相似文献

Escherichia coli phage PRD1 protein P12, involved in PRD1 DNA replication in vivo, has been highly purified from E. coli cells harbouring a gene XII-containing plasmid. Protein P12 binds to single-stranded DNA as shown by gel retardation assays and nuclease protection experiments. Binding of protein P12 to single-stranded DNA increases about 14% the contour length of the DNA as revealed by electron microscopy. Binding to single-stranded DNA seems to be cooperative, and it is not sequence specific. Protein P12 also binds to double-stranded DNA although with an affinity 10 times lower than to single-stranded DNA. Using the in vitro phage phi 29 DNA replication system, it is shown that protein P12 stimulates the overall phi 29 DNA replication. 相似文献

DNA unwinding activity of replication protein A. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Replication protein A (RP-A) is a heterotrimeric complex conserved in eukaryotic cells. It binds to single-stranded DNA and is essential for initiation and elongation of DNA replication. In this communication we give evidence that this protein can unwind DNA independent of magnesium and ATP, two essential cofactors for bona fide DNA helicase activity. RP-A can unwind up to at least 350 basepairs and appears to be required in stoichiometric amounts. The reaction is extremely sensitive to NaCl and MgCl2. This activity of RF-A is suggestive for a possible unwinding function in initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotes. 相似文献

Exposure to DNA-damaging agents triggers signal transduction pathways that are thought to play a role in maintenance of genomic stability. A key protein in the cellular processes of nucleotide excision repair, DNA recombination, and DNA double-strand break repair is the single-stranded DNA binding protein, RPA. We showed previously that the p34 subunit of RPA becomes hyperphosphorylated as a delayed response (4-8 h) to UV radiation (10-30 J/m(2)). Here we show that UV-induced RPA-p34 hyperphosphorylation depends on expression of ATM, the product of the gene mutated in the human genetic disorder ataxia telangiectasia (A-T). UV-induced RPA-p34 hyperphosphorylation was not observed in A-T cells, but this response was restored by ATM expression. Furthermore, purified ATM kinase phosphorylates the p34 subunit of RPA complex in vitro at many of the same sites that are phosphorylated in vivo after UV radiation. Induction of this DNA damage response was also dependent on DNA replication; inhibition of DNA replication by aphidicolin prevented induction of RPA-p34 hyperphosphorylation by UV radiation. We postulate that this pathway is triggered by the accumulation of aberrant DNA replication intermediates, resulting from DNA replication fork blockage by UV photoproducts. Further, we suggest that RPA-p34 is hyperphosphorylated as a participant in the recombinational postreplication repair of these replication products. Successful resolution of these replication intermediates reduces the accumulation of chromosomal aberrations that would otherwise occur as a consequence of UV radiation. 相似文献

Exposure of mammalian cells to DNA damage-inducing agents (DDIA) inhibits ongoing DNA replication. The molecular mechanism of this inhibition remains to be elucidated. We employed a simian virus 40 (SV40) based in vitro DNA replication assay to study biochemical aspects of this inhibition. We report here that the reduced DNA replication activity in extracts of DDIA-treated cells is partly caused by a reduction in the amount of replication protein A (RPA). We also report that the dominant inhibitory effect is caused by the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) which inactivates SV40 T antigen (TAg) by phosphorylation. The results demonstrate that RPA and DNA-PK are involved in the regulation of viral DNA replication after DNA damage and suggest that analogous processes regulate cellular DNA replication with the DNA-PK targeting the functional homologues of TAg. 相似文献

Ultraviolet A (UVA) makes up more than 90% of incident terrestrial ultraviolet radiation. Unlike shorter wavelength UVB, which damages DNA directly, UVA is absorbed poorly by DNA and is therefore considered to be less hazardous. Organ transplant patients treated with the immunosuppressant azathioprine frequently develop skin cancer. Their DNA contains 6-thioguanine-a base analogue that generates DNA-damaging singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) when exposed to UVA. Here, we show that this (1)O(2) damages proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), the homotrimeric DNA polymerase sliding clamp. It causes covalent oxidative crosslinking between the PCNA subunits through a histidine residue in the intersubunit domain. Crosslinking also occurs after treatment with higher-although still moderate-doses of UVA alone or with chemical oxidants. Chronic accumulation of oxidized proteins is linked to neurodegenerative disorders and ageing. Our findings identify oxidative damage to an important DNA replication and repair protein as a previously unrecognized hazard of acute oxidative stress. 相似文献

Eukaryotic replication protein A (RPA) is a single-stranded DNA-binding protein with multiple functions in DNA replication, repair, and genetic recombination. RPA contains an evolutionarily conserved 4-cysteine-type zinc finger motif (X(3)CX(2-4)CX(12-15)CX(2)C) that has a potential role in regulation of DNA replication and repair (Dong, J., Park, J-S., and Lee, S-H. (1999) Biochem. J. 337, 311-317 and Lin, Y.-L., Shivji, M. K. K., Chen, C., Kolodner, R., Wood, R. D., and Dutta, A. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 1453-1461), even though the zinc finger itself is not essential for its DNA binding activity (Kim, D. K., Stigger, E., and Lee, S.-H. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 15124-15129). Here, we show that RPA single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding activity is regulated by reduction-oxidation (redox) through its zinc finger domain. RPA-ssDNA interaction was stimulated 10-fold by the reducing agent, dithiothreitol (DTT), whereas treatment of RPA with oxidizing agent, diazene dicarboxylic acid bis[N,N-dimethylamide] (diamide), significantly reduced this interaction. The effect of diamide was reversed by the addition of excess DTT, suggesting that RPA ssDNA binding activity is regulated by redox. Redox regulation of RPA-ssDNA interaction was more effective in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl or higher. Cellular redox factor, thioredoxin, was able to replace DTT in stimulation of RPA DNA binding activity, suggesting that redox protein may be involved in RPA modulation in vivo. In contrast to wild-type RPA, zinc finger mutant (cysteine to alanine mutation at amino acid 486) did not require DTT for its ssDNA binding activity and is not affected by redox. Together, these results suggest a novel function for a putative zinc finger in the regulation of RPA DNA binding activity through cellular redox. 相似文献

The genome of the geminivirus tomato golden mosaic virus (TGMV) consists of two circular DNA molecules designated as components A and B. The A component encodes the only viral protein, AL1, that is required for viral replication. We showed that AL1 interacts specifically with TGMV A and B DNA by using an immunoprecipitation assay for AL1:DNA complex formation. In this assay, a monoclonal antibody against AL1 precipitated AL1:TGMV DNA complexes, whereas an unrelated antibody failed to precipitate the complexes. Competition assays with homologous and heterologous DNAs established the specificity of AL1:DNA binding. AL1 produced by transgenic tobacco plants and by baculovirus-infected insect cells exhibited similar DNA binding activity. The AL1 binding site maps to 52 bp on the left side of the common region, a 235-bp region that is highly conserved between the two TGMV genome components. The AL1:DNA binding site does not include the putative hairpin structure that is conserved in the common regions or the equivalent 5' intergenic regions of all geminiviruses. These studies demonstrate that a geminivirus replication protein is a sequence-specific DNA binding protein, and the studies have important implications for the role of this protein in virus replication. 相似文献

DDB2 was identified as a protein involved in the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER), a major DNA repair mechanism that repairs UV damage to prevent accumulation of mutations and tumorigenesis. However, recent studies indicated additional functions of DDB2 in the DNA damage response pathway. Herein, we discuss the proposed mechanisms by which DDB2 activates NER and programmed cell death upon DNA damage through its E3 ligase activity. 相似文献

Werner syndrome is an inherited disease characterized by premature aging, genetic instability and a high incidence of cancer. The wild type Werner syndrome protein (WRN) has been demonstrated to exhibit DNA helicase activity in vitro. Here we report further biochemical characterization of the WRN helicase. The enzyme unwinds double-stranded DNA, translocating 3'-->5' on the enzyme-bound strand. Hydrolysis of dATP or ATP, and to a lesser extent hydrolysis of dCTP or CTP, supports WRN-catalyzed strand-displacement. K m values for ATP and dATP are 51 and 119 microM, respectively, and 2.1 and 3.9 mM for CTP and dCTP, respectively. Strand-displacement activity of WRN is stimulated by single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs). Among the SSBs from Escherichia coli, bacteriophage T4 and human, stimulation by human SSB (human replication protein A, hRPA) is the most extensive and occurs with a stoichiometry which suggests direct interaction with WRN. A deficit in the interaction of WRN with hRPA may be associated with deletion mutations that occur at elevated frequency in Werner syndrome cells. 相似文献

Abstract The heterotrimeric eukaryotic Replication protein A (RPA) is a master regulator of numerous DNA metabolic processes. For a long time, it has been viewed as an inert protector of ssDNA and a platform for assembly of various genome maintenance and signaling machines. Later, the modular organization of the RPA DNA binding domains suggested a possibility for dynamic interaction with ssDNA. This modular organization has inspired several models for the RPA-ssDNA interaction that aimed to explain how RPA, the high-affinity ssDNA binding protein, is replaced by the downstream players in DNA replication, recombination, and repair that bind ssDNA with much lower affinity. Recent studies, and in particular single-molecule observations of RPA-ssDNA interactions, led to the development of a new model for the ssDNA handoff from RPA to a specific downstream factor where not only stability and structural rearrangements but also RPA conformational dynamics guide the ssDNA handoff. Here we will review the current knowledge of the RPA structure, its dynamic interaction with ssDNA, and how RPA conformational dynamics may be influenced by posttranslational modification and proteins that interact with RPA, as well as how RPA dynamics may be harnessed in cellular decision making. 相似文献

Replication protein A (RPA) is a heterotrimeric, single-stranded DNA-binding complex comprised of 70-kDa (RPA1), 32-kDa (RPA2), and 14-kDa (RPA3) subunits that is essential for DNA replication, recombination, and repair in eukaryotes. In addition, recent studies using vertebrate model systems have suggested an important role for RPA in the initiation of cell cycle checkpoints following exposure to DNA replication stress. Specifically, RPA has been implicated in the recruitment and activation of the ATM-Rad3-related protein kinase, ATR, which in conjunction with the related kinase, ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated), transmits checkpoint signals via the phosphorylation of downstream effectors. In this report, we have explored the effects of RPA insufficiency on DNA replication, cell survival, and ATM/ATR-dependent signal transduction in response to genotoxic stress. RNA interference-mediated suppression of RPA1 caused a slowing of S phase progression, G2/M cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in HeLa cells. RPA-deficient cells demonstrated high levels of spontaneous DNA damage and constitutive activation of ATM, which was responsible for the terminal G2/M arrest phenotype. Surprisingly, we found that neither RPA1 nor RPA2 were essential for the hydroxyurea- or UV-induced phosphorylation of the ATR substrates CHK1 and CREB (cyclic AMP-response element-binding protein). These findings reveal that RPA is required for genomic stability and suggest that activation of ATR can occur through RPA-independent pathways. 相似文献

1. The human adenoviruses types 2, 5 and 12 code for the production of a single strand specific DNA binding protein. The molecular weights of these proteins were 72,000 for types 2 and 5 and 60,000 for type 12. In all three cases proteolytic breakdown fragments of these binding proteins (48,000 MW) were also observed. 2. Analysis of the methionine containing tryptic peptides of these proteins indicate that the types 2 and 5 proteins are similar and clearly distinguishable from the type 12 protein. The peptide maps of these three viral proteins are clearly different from a similar protein found in mock infected cells. 3. Temperature sensitive mutants of type 5 (H5ts125) and type 12(H12tsA275) adenoviruses fail to produce these proteins at the nonpermissive temperature. H5ts125 infected cells grown at the permissive temperature produce a 72,000 MW protein that is thermolabile, for continued binding to DNA, when compared to type 5 wild type adenovirus 72,000 MW protein. An analysis of the phenotype of this adenovirus mutant indicates that it codes for a viral function at early times after infection that is required for viral DNA replication. 4. The in vitro translation of adenovirus specific m-RNA results in the synthesis of a small amount of a 72,000 MW protein that binds to single stranded DNA just like the authentic adenovirus DNA binding proteins produced in infected cells. 5. Adenovirus anti-Tumor antigen (T) anti-serum from hamsters carrying independently derived adenovirus tumors, have been tested for the presence of antibody to purified DNA binding proteins. One antiserum is positive for these antibodies while the other is negative. These results indicate that some, but not all, adenovirus tumors contain large enough levels of the DNA binding proteins to elicit an antibody response. 6. The type 5 adenovirus temperature sensitive mutant, H5ts125, that codes for a thermolabile DNA binding protein, was complemented or suppressed at the nonpermissive temperature, for the replication of adenovirus DNA, by SV40. SV40tsA temperature sensitive mutants, defective in SV40 DNA replication, do not suppress or complement H5ts125 at the nonpermissive temperature. 相似文献

The DnaA protein specifically binds to the origin of chromosomal DNA replication and initiates DNA synthesis. In addition to this sequence-specific DNA binding, DnaA protein binds to DNA in a sequence-independent manner. We here compared the two DNA binding activities. Binding of ATP and ADP to DnaA inhibited the sequence-independent DNA binding, but not sequence-specific binding. Sequence-independent DNA binding, but not sequence-specific binding, required incubation at high temperatures. Mutations in the C-terminal domain affected the sequence-independent DNA binding activity less drastically than they did the sequence-specific binding. On the other hand, the mutant DnaA433, which has mutations in a membrane-binding domain (K327 to I344) was inert for sequence-independent binding, but could bind specifically to DNA. These results suggest that the two DNA binding activities involve different domains and perform different functions from each other in Escherichia coli cells. 相似文献

This study examined the cellular response to DNA damage induced by antitumor enediynes C-1027 and neocarzinostatin. Treatment of cells with either agent induced hyperphosphorylation of RPA32, the middle subunit of replication protein A, and increased nuclear retention of RPA. Nearly all of the RPA32 that was not readily extractable from the nucleus was hyperphosphorylated, compared to < or =50% of the soluble RPA. Enediyne concentrations that induced RPA32 hyperphosphorylation also decreased cell-free SV40 DNA replication competence in extracts of treated cells. This decrease did not result from damage to the DNA template, indicating trans-acting inhibition of DNA replication. Enediyne-induced RPA hyperphosphorylation was unaffected by the replication elongation inhibitor aphidicolin, suggesting that the cellular response to enediyne DNA damage was not dependent on elongation of replicating DNA. Neither recovery of replication competence nor reversal of RPA effects occurred when treated cells were further incubated in the absence of drug. C-1027 and neocarzinostatin doses that caused similar levels of DNA damage resulted in equivalent increases in RPA32 hyperphosphorylation and RPA nuclear retention and decreases in replication activity, suggesting a common response to enediyne-induced DNA damage. By contrast, DNA damage induced by C-1027 was at least 5-fold more cytotoxic than that induced by neocarzinostatin. 相似文献

Replication protein A (RPA), the nuclear single-stranded DNA binding protein is involved in DNA replication, nucleotide excision repair (NER) and homologous recombination. It is a stable heterotrimer consisting of subunits with molecular masses of 70, 32 and 14 kDa (p70, p32 and p14, respectively). Gapped DNA structures are common intermediates during DNA replication and NER. To analyze the interaction of RPA and its subunits with gapped DNA we designed structures containing 9 and 30 nucleotide gaps with a photoreactive arylazido group at the 3′-end of the upstream oligonucleotide or at the 5′-end of the downstream oligonucleotide. UV crosslinking and subsequent analysis showed that the p70 subunit mainly interacts with the 5′-end of DNA irrespective of DNA structure, while the subunit orientation towards the 3′-end of DNA in the gap structures strongly depends on the gap size. The results are compared with the data obtained previously with the primer–template systems containing 5′- or 3′-protruding DNA strands. Our results suggest a model of polar RPA binding to the gapped DNA. 相似文献

The DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions proposed for the stability of nucleoprotein complexes at the origin of replication in prokaryotes are also thought to impart regulatory precision in eukaryotic DNA replication. This type of specificity can be observed, for example, during adenovirus DNA replication where efficient initiation requires that nuclear factor I (NFI) binds to the origin of DNA replication. Addition of purified NFI stimulates the initiation of adenovirus DNA replication in vitro in a reaction that is dependent on the concentration of the adenovirus DNA binding protein (DBP). However, the molecular basis for the synergistic action of NFI and DBP during replication is at present unknown. We report here that DBP increases the affinity of NFI for its binding site in the replication origin. DBP did not, however, increase the affinity of another eukaryotic sequence-specific DNA binding protein, EBP1, for its recognition site. Other single-stranded DNA binding proteins could not substitute for DBP in increasing NFI affinity for its binding site. In addition, DBP was found to alter the binding kinetics of NFI, both by increasing the rate of association and decreasing the rate of dissociation of NFI with the DNA template. The co-operativity between NFI and DBP was also demonstrated on another DNA template, a human NFI site (FIB2), suggesting that this interaction is of general occurrence and not restricted to the adenovirus origin of replication. 相似文献
