Loading of the Mcm2-7 DNA replicative helicase onto origin-proximal DNA is a critical and tightly regulated event during the initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication. The resulting protein-DNA assembly is called the prereplicative complex (pre-RC), and its formation requires the origin recognition complex (ORC), Cdc6, Cdt1, and ATP. ATP hydrolysis by ORC is required for multiple rounds of Mcm2-7 loading. Here, we investigate the role of ATP hydrolysis by Cdc6 during pre-RC assembly. We find that Cdc6 is an ORC- and origin DNA-dependent ATPase that functions at a step preceding ATP hydrolysis by ORC. Inhibiting Cdc6 ATP hydrolysis stabilizes Cdt1 on origin DNA and prevents Mcm2-7 loading. In contrast, the initial association of Mcm2-7 with the other pre-RC components does not require ATP hydrolysis by Cdc6. Importantly, these coordinated yet distinct functions of ORC and Cdc6 ensure the correct temporal and spatial regulation of pre-RC formation. 相似文献

Lag times in DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase delta holoenzyme were due to ATP-mediated formation of an initiation complex on the primed DNA by the polymerase with the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and replication factor C (RF-C). Lag time analysis showed that high affinity binding of RF-C to the primer terminus required PCNA and that this complex was recognized by the polymerase. The formation of stable complexes was investigated through their isolation by Bio-Gel A-5m filtration. A stable complex of RF-C and PCNA on primed single-stranded mp18 DNA was isolated when these factors were preincubated with the DNA and with ATP, or, less efficiently with ATP gamma S. These and additional experiments suggest that ATP binding promotes the formation of a labile complex of RF-C with PCNA at the primer terminus, whereas its hydrolysis is required to form a stable complex. Subsequently, DNA polymerase delta binds to either complex in a replication competent fashion without further energy requirement. DNA polymerase epsilon did not associate stably with RF-C and PCNA onto the DNA, but its transient participation with these cofactors into a holoenzyme-like initiation complex was inferred from its kinetic properties and replication product analysis. The kinetics of the elongation phase at 30 degrees, 110 nucleotides/s by DNA polymerase delta holoenzyme and 50 nucleotides/s by DNA polymerase epsilon holoenzyme, are in agreement with in vivo rates of replication fork movement in yeast. A model for the eukaryotic replication fork involving both DNA polymerase delta and epsilon is proposed. 相似文献

Cdc6 performs an essential role in the initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication by recruiting the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex onto DNA. Using immunodepletion/add-back experiments in Xenopus egg extracts, we have determined that both Walker A (ATP binding) and Walker B (ATP hydrolysis) motifs of Xenopus Cdc6 (Xcdc6) are essential, but have distinct functional roles. Although Walker B mutant protein binds chromatin well, Walker A mutant protein binds chromatin poorly. Neither Walker A nor Walker B mutant protein, however, load appreciable MCM onto DNA. Herein, we provide evidence that Cdc6 functions as a multimer: 1) mutant and wild-type Xcdc6 form multimers; 2) either mutant protein is dominant negative when added before wild-type Xcdc6, but stimulates DNA replication when added simultaneously with wild-type Xcdc6; and 3) the two mutants restore DNA replication when added together, in the absence of wild-type Xcdc6. Our findings suggest that ATP may play a key regulatory role within this multimer: its binding to Cdc6 promotes chromatin association and its hydrolysis facilitates MCM loading. Moreover, ATP binding and hydrolysis may occur in trans between Cdc6 subunits within the complex. 相似文献

The DnaC helicase loader is a dual ATP/ADP switch protein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Helicases are transferred to replication origins by helicase loading factors. The Escherichia coli DnaC and eukaryotic Cdc6/18 helicase loaders contain ATP sites and are both members of the AAA+ family. One might expect that ATP is required for helicase loading; however, this study on DnaC illustrates that ATP is not actually needed for DnaC to load helicase onto single-strand DNA (ssDNA). In fact, it seems to be a paradox that after transfer of helicase to DNA, DnaC-ATP inhibits helicase action. In addition, ATP is required for DnaC function at an early step in oriC replication in which ATP stimulates ssDNA binding by DnaC, leading to expansion of the ssDNA bubble at the origin. Two cofactors, ssDNA and DnaB, trigger hydrolysis of ATP, converting DnaC to the ADP form that no longer inhibits DnaB. These observations have led to the idea that DnaC is a 'dual' switch protein, where both the ATP and the ADP forms are sequentially required for replication. This dual switching process may underlie the sensitivity of DnaB to even small fluctuations in DnaC levels. 相似文献

Mechanisms of conformational change for a replicative hexameric helicase of SV40 large tumor antigen 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
The large tumor antigen (LTag) of simian virus 40, an AAA(+) protein, is a hexameric helicase essential for viral DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. LTag functions as an efficient molecular machine powered by ATP binding and hydrolysis for origin DNA melting and replication fork unwinding. To understand how ATP binding and hydrolysis are coupled to conformational changes, we have determined high-resolution structures ( approximately 1.9 A) of LTag hexamers in distinct nucleotide binding states. The structural differences of LTag in various nucleotide states detail the molecular mechanisms of conformational changes triggered by ATP binding/hydrolysis and reveal a potential mechanism of concerted nucleotide binding and hydrolysis. During these conformational changes, the angles and orientations between domains of a monomer alter, creating an "iris"-like motion in the hexamer. Additionally, six unique beta hairpins on the channel surface move longitudinally along the central channel, possibly serving as a motor for pulling DNA into the LTag double hexamer for unwinding. 相似文献

RAD51 forms nucleoprotein filaments to promote homologous recombination, replication fork reversal, and fork protection. Numerous factors regulate the stability of these filaments and improper regulation leads to genomic instability and ultimately disease including cancer. RADX is a single stranded DNA binding protein that modulates RAD51 filament stability. Here, we utilize a CRISPR-dependent base editing screen to tile mutations across RADX to delineate motifs required for RADX function. We identified separation of function mutants of RADX that bind DNA and RAD51 but have a reduced ability to stimulate its ATP hydrolysis activity. Cells expressing these RADX mutants accumulate RAD51 on chromatin, exhibit replication defects, have reduced growth, accumulate DNA damage, and are hypersensitive to DNA damage and replication stress. These results indicate that RADX must promote RAD51 ATP turnover to regulate RAD51 and genome stability during DNA replication. 相似文献

The archaeal replication apparatus appears to be a simplified version of the eukaryotic one with fewer polypeptides and simpler protein complexes. Herein, we report evidence that a Cdc6-like factor from the hyperthermophilic crenarchaea Sulfolobus solfataricus stimulates binding of the homohexameric MCM-like complex to bubble- and fork-containing DNA oligonucleotides that mimic early replication intermediates. This function does not require the Cdc6 ATP and DNA binding activities. These findings may provide important clues to understanding how the DNA replication initiation process has evolved in the more complex eukaryotic organisms. 相似文献

Threading of DNA through the central channel of a replicative ring helicase is known as helicase loading, and is a pivotal event during replication initiation at replication origins. Once loaded, the helicase recruits the primase through a direct protein-protein interaction to complete the initial 'priming step' of DNA replication. Subsequent assembly of the polymerases and processivity factors completes the structure of the replisome. Two replisomes are assembled, one on each strand, and move in opposite directions to replicate the parental DNA during the 'elongation step' of DNA replication. Replicative helicases are the motor engines of replisomes powered by the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy through ATP binding and hydrolysis. Bidirectional loading of two ring helicases at a replication origin is achieved by strictly regulated and intricately choreographed mechanisms, often through the action of replication initiation and helicase-loader proteins. Current structural and biochemical data reveal a wide range of different helicase-loading mechanisms. Here we review advances in this area and discuss their implications. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli, interactions between the replication initiation protein DnaA, the beta subunit of DNA polymerase III (the sliding clamp protein), and Hda, the recently identified DnaA-related protein, are required to convert the active ATP-bound form of DnaA to an inactive ADP-bound form through the accelerated hydrolysis of ATP. This rapid hydrolysis of ATP is proposed to be the main mechanism that blocks multiple initiations during cell cycle and acts as a molecular switch from initiation to replication. However, the biochemical mechanism for this crucial step in DNA synthesis has not been resolved. Using purified Hda and beta proteins in a plate binding assay and Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid pulldown analysis, we show for the first time that Hda directly interacts with beta in vitro. A new beta-binding motif, a hexapeptide with the consensus sequence QL[SP]LPL, related to the previously identified beta-binding pentapeptide motif (QL[SD]LF) was found in the amino terminus of the Hda protein. Mutants of Hda with amino acid changes in the hexapeptide motif are severely defective in their ability to bind beta. A 10-amino-acid peptide containing the E. coli Hda beta-binding motif was shown to compete with Hda for binding to beta in an Hda-beta interaction assay. These results establish that the interaction of Hda with beta is mediated through the hexapeptide sequence. We propose that this interaction may be crucial to the events that lead to the inactivation of DnaA and the prevention of excess initiation of rounds of replication. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli, the recovery of replication following disruption by UV-induced DNA damage requires the RecF protein and occurs through a process that involves stabilization of replication fork DNA, resection of nascent DNA to allow the offending lesion to be repaired, and reestablishment of a productive replisome on the DNA. RecF forms a homodimer and contains an ATP binding cassette ATPase domain that is conserved among eukaryotic SMC (structural maintenance of chromosome) proteins, including cohesin, condensin, and Rad50. Here, we investigated the functions of RecF dimerization, ATP binding, and ATP hydrolysis in the progressive steps involved in recovering DNA synthesis following disruption by DNA damage. RecF point mutations with altered biochemical properties were constructed in the chromosome. We observed that protein dimerization, ATP binding, and ATP hydrolysis were essential for maintaining and processing the arrested replication fork, as well as for restoring DNA synthesis. In contrast, stabilization of the RecF protein dimer partially protected the DNA at the arrested fork from degradation, although overall processing and recovery remained severely impaired. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli, regulatory inactivation of the replication initiator DnaA occurs after initiation as a result of hydrolysis of bound ATP to ADP, but it has been unknown how DnaA is controlled to coordinate cell growth and chromosomal replication in Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. This study examined the roles of ATP binding and its hydrolysis in the regulation of the S. aureus DnaA activity. In vitro, S. aureus DnaA melted S. aureus oriC in the presence of ATP but not ADP by a mechanism independent of ATP hydrolysis. Unlike E. coli DnaA, binding of ADP to S. aureus DnaA was unstable. As a result, at physiological concentrations of ATP, ADP bound to S. aureus DnaA was rapidly exchanged for ATP, thereby regenerating the ability of DnaA to form the open complex in vitro. Therefore, we examined whether formation of ADP-DnaA participates in suppression of replication initiation in vivo. Induction of the R318H mutant of the AAA+ sensor 2 protein, which has decreased intrinsic ATPase activity, caused over-initiation of chromosome replication in S. aureus, suggesting that formation of ADP-DnaA suppresses the initiation step in S. aureus. Together with the biochemical features of S. aureus DnaA, the weak ability to convert ATP-DnaA into ADP-DnaA and the instability of ADP-DnaA, these results suggest that there may be unidentified system(s) for reducing the cellular ratio of ATP-DnaA to ADP-DnaA in S. aureus and thereby delaying the re-initiation of DNA replication. 相似文献

Replication of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA is dependent upon the binding of the viral T-antigen to the SV40 origin of replication. Structural changes in the origin of replication induced by binding of T-antigen were probed by chemical modifications of the DNA. In the presence of ATP, T-antigen rendered two of three domains in the SV40 core origin hypersensitive to attack by either dimethyl sulfate or potassium permanganate (KMnO4). One of these domains, the early palindrome, was shown to contain an 8-bp region of melted DNA as determined from methylation of cytosine residues and by nuclease S1 cleavage of methylated DNA. DNA melting was not dependent upon either the hydrolysis of ATP or the binding of T-antigen to an adjacent site (site I). A second domain, the A/T element, was extensively modified by KMnO4 but no significant melting was detected. Rather, the pattern of modification indicates that T-antigen caused a conformational change of the double-stranded DNA in this region. These results suggest that T-antigen, in the presence of ATP, destabilizes the SV40 origin by melting and structurally deforming two flanking regions within the core origin sequence. These DNA structural changes may provide access to other replication factors, allowing complete denaturation of the SV40 origin and the initiation of SV40 DNA replication. 相似文献

Simian virus 40 large tumor antigen (SV40 T antigen) untwists DNA at the SV40 replication origin. In the presence of ATP, T antigen shifted the average linking number of an SV40 origin-containing plasmid topoisomer distribution. The loss of up to two helical turns was detected. The reaction required the presence of the 64-base pair core origin of replication containing T antigen DNA binding site II; binding site I had no effect on the untwisting reaction. The presence of human single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) slightly reduced the degree of untwisting in the presence of ATP. ATP hydrolysis was not required since untwisting occurred in the presence of nonhydrolyzable analogs of ATP. However, in the presence of a nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP, the requirement for the SV40 origin sequence was lost. The origin requirement for DNA untwisting was also lost in the absence of dithiothreitol. The origin-specific untwisting activity of T antigen is distinct from its DNA helicase activity, since helicase activity does not require the SV40 origin but does require ATP hydrolysis. The lack of a requirement for SSB or ATP hydrolysis and the reduction in the pitch of the DNA helix by just a few turns at the replication origin distinguishes this reaction from the T antigen-mediated DNA unwinding reaction, which results in the formation of a highly underwound DNA molecule. Untwisting occurred without a lag after the start of the reaction, whereas unwound DNA was first detected after a lag of 10 min. It is proposed that the formation of a multimeric T antigen complex containing untwisted DNA at the SV40 origin is a prerequisite for the initiation of DNA unwinding and replication. 相似文献

The ATP-bound DnaA protein opens duplex DNA at the Escherichia coli origin of replication, leading to a series of initiation reactions in vitro. When loaded on DNA, the DNA polymerase III sliding clamp stimulates hydrolysis of DnaA-bound ATP in the presence of the IdaB/Hda protein, thereby yielding ADP-DnaA, which is inactive for initiation in vitro. This negative feedback regulation of DnaA activity is proposed to play a crucial role in the replication cycle. We here report that the mutant protein DnaA R334A is inert to hydrolysis of bound ATP, although its affinities for ATP and ADP remain unaffected. The ATP-bound DnaA R334A protein, but not the ADP form, initiates minichromosomal replication in vitro at a level similar to that seen for wild-type DnaA. When expressed at moderate levels in vivo, DnaA R334A is predominantly in the ATP-bound form, unlike the wild-type and DnaA E204Q proteins, which in vitro hydrolyze ATP in a sliding clamp- and IdaB/Hda-dependent manner. Furthermore, DnaA R334A, but not the wild-type or the DnaA E204Q proteins, promotes overinitiation of chromosomal replication. These in vivo data support a crucial role for bound nucleotides in regulating the activity of DnaA during replication. Based on a homology modeling analysis, we suggest that the Arg-334 residue closely interacts with bound nucleotides. 相似文献

ParA and ParB of Caulobacter crescentus belong to a conserved family of bacterial proteins implicated in chromosome segregation. ParB binds to DNA sequences adjacent to the origin of replication and localizes to opposite cell poles shortly following the initiation of DNA replication. ParA has homology to a conserved and widespread family of ATPases. Here, we show that ParB regulates the ParA ATPase activity by promoting nucleotide exchange in a fashion reminiscent of the exchange factors of eukaryotic G proteins. Furthermore, we demonstrate that ADP-bound ParA binds single-stranded DNA, whereas the ATP-bound form dissociates ParB from its DNA binding sites. Increasing the fraction of ParA-ADP in the cell inhibits cell division, suggesting that this simple nucleotide switch may regulate cytokinesis. 相似文献

In complex with ATP, but not ADP, DnaA protein multimers unwind a specific region of duplex DNA within the chromosomal replication origin, oriC, triggering a series of reactions that result in initiation of DNA replication. Following replication initiation, ATP hydrolysis, which is coupled to DNA replication, results in the generation of initiation-incompetent ADP-DnaA. Suppression of overinitiation of replication requires that ADP-DnaA complexes be stably maintained until the next round of replication. Thus, the functional and structural requirements that ensure stable nucleotide binding to DnaA are crucial for proper regulation of replication. Here, we demonstrate that Glu143 of DnaA, located within the AAA+ box II N-linker motif, is a key residue involved in stable nucleotide binding. A Glu143 substitution variant of DnaA (DnaA E143A) bound to ADP on ice with an affinity similar to wild-type DnaA, but the resultant ADP-DnaA E143A complex was more labile at 37 °C than wild-type ADP-DnaA complexes. Consistent with this, conversion of ADP-DnaA E143A to ATP-DnaA E143A was stimulated at 37°C in the presence of ATP, which also stimulated replication of a minichromosome in an in vitro reconstitution reaction. Expression of DnaA E143A in vivo inhibited cell growth in an oriC-dependent manner, suggesting that DnaA E143A caused over-initiation of replication, consistent with the in vitro results. Glu is a highly conserved residue at the corresponding position of γ-proteobacterial DnaA orthologs. Our finding of the novel role for the DnaA N-linker region may represent a conserved function of this motif among those DnaA orthologs. 相似文献
