Single-stranded DNA-binding Proteins

The emergence of DNA as the predominant hereditary material of life has necessitated the evolution of proteins whose sole function is the maintenance and care of these vital molecules. In a typical cell, there is a wide array of proteins with specialized functions in DNA metabolism that allow the cell to maintain and replicate its genome. In order to copy or make repairs to DNA, the double heli...

Differential effects of single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSBs) on uracil DNA glycosylases (UDGs) from Escherichia coli and mycobacteria.

Deamination of cytosines results in accumulation of uracil residues in DNA, which unless repaired lead to GC-->AT transition mutations. Uracil DNA glyco-sylase excises uracil residues from DNA and initiates the base excision repair pathway to safeguard the genomic integrity. In this study, we have investigated the effect of single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSBs) from Escherichia coli (Eco ...

The process of displacing the single-stranded DNA-binding protein from single-stranded DNA by RecO and RecR proteins

The regions of single-stranded (ss) DNA that result from DNA damage are immediately coated by the ssDNA-binding protein (SSB). RecF pathway proteins facilitate the displacement of SSB from ssDNA, allowing the RecA protein to form protein filaments on the ssDNA region, which facilitates the process of recombinational DNA repair. In this study, we examined the mechanism of SSB displacement from s...

Characterization of a mitochondrial protein binding to single-stranded DNA.

A DNA-binding protein from Xenopus laevis oocyte mitochondria which has been found associated with the D-loop also shows a strong preference for single-stranded DNA. The binding to polynucleotides is dependent on the base composition, but no sequence specificity was found. This protein, called mtSSB, binds tightly and cooperatively to single-stranded DNA. By its amino-acid composition and its b...

Bacterial single-stranded DNA-binding proteins are phosphorylated on tyrosine

Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) are required for repair, recombination and replication in all organisms. Eukaryotic SSBs are regulated by phosphorylation on serine and threonine residues. To our knowledge, phosphorylation of SSBs in bacteria has not been reported. A systematic search for phosphotyrosine-containing proteins in Streptomyces griseus by immunoaffinity chromatography ide...
