Cooperative Conformational Transitions Keep RecA Filament Active During ATPase Cycle

The active, stretched conformation of the RecA filament bound to single-stranded DNA is required for homologous recombination. During this process, the RecA filament mediates the homology search and base pair exchange with a complementary sequence. Subsequently, the RecA filament dissociates from DNA upon reaction completion. ATP binding and hydrolysis is critical throughout these processes. Li...

RecA filament maintains structural integrity using ATP-driven internal dynamics

At the core of homologous DNA repair, RecA catalyzes the strand exchange reaction. This process is initiated by a RecA loading protein, which nucleates clusters of RecA proteins on single-stranded DNA. Each cluster grows to cover the single-stranded DNA but may leave 1- to 2-nucleotide (nt) gaps between the clusters due to three different structural phases of the nucleoprotein filaments. It rem...

RecA-mediated SOS induction requires an extended filament conformation but no ATP hydrolysis.

The Escherichia coli SOS response to DNA damage is modulated by the RecA protein, a recombinase that forms an extended filament on single-stranded DNA and hydrolyzes ATP. The RecA K72R (recA2201) mutation eliminates the ATPase activity of RecA protein. The mutation also limits the capacity of RecA to form long filaments in the presence of ATP. Strains with this mutation do not undergo SOS induc...

Organized Unidirectional Waves of ATP Hydrolysis within a RecA Filament

The RecA protein forms nucleoprotein filaments on DNA, and individual monomers within the filaments hydrolyze ATP. Assembly and disassembly of filaments are both unidirectional, occurring on opposite filament ends, with disassembly requiring ATP hydrolysis. When filaments form on duplex DNA, RecA protein exhibits a functional state comparable to the state observed during active DNA strand excha...

Asymmetry in the recA protein-DNA filament.

The apparent DNA site size obtained from an assay monitoring the ATPase activity of Escherichia coli recA protein (n = 3.5) differs from that determined from a direct DNA binding assay (n = 7) done under identical conditions. Investigation of this discrepancy indicates that at a DNA:protein ratio of 3.5:1, one-half of the recA protein population is less sensitive to ATPase activity inhibition b...
