An N-terminal clamp restrains the motor domains of the bacterial transcription-repair coupling factor Mfd
Motor proteins that translocate on nucleic acids are key players in gene expression and maintenance. While the function of these proteins is diverse, they are driven by highly conserved core motor domains. In transcription-coupled DNA repair, motor activity serves to remove RNA polymerase stalled on damaged DNA, making the lesion accessible for repair. Structural and biochemical data on the bac...
متن کاملE. coli Transcription Repair Coupling Factor (Mfd Protein) Rescues Arrested Complexes by Promoting Forward Translocation
Transcription and DNA repair are coupled in E. coli by the Mfd protein, which dissociates transcription elongation complexes blocked at nonpairing lesions and mediates recruitment of DNA repair proteins. We show that Mfd influences the elongation state of RNA polymerase (RNAP); transcription complexes that have reverse translocated into the backtracked position, a potentially important intermed...

متن کاملThe bacterial DNA repair protein Mfd confers resistance to the host nitrogen immune response
Production of reactive nitrogen species (NO) is a key step in the immune response following infections. NO induces lesions to bacterial DNA, thus limiting bacterial growth within hosts. Using two pathogenic bacteria, Bacillus cereus and Shigella flexneri, we show that the DNA-repair protein Mfd (Mutation-Frequency-Decline) is required for bacterial resistance to the host-NO-response. In both sp...
متن کاملStructural basis for the bacterial transcription-repair coupling factor/RNA polymerase interaction
The transcription-repair coupling factor (TRCF, the product of the mfd gene) is a widely conserved bacterial protein that mediates transcription-coupled DNA repair. TRCF uses its ATP-dependent DNA translocase activity to remove transcription complexes stalled at sites of DNA damage, and stimulates repair by recruiting components of the nucleotide excision repair pathway to the site. A protein/p...
