DNA nicking by HinP1I endonuclease: bending, base flipping and minor groove expansion
HinP1I recognizes and cleaves the palindromic tetranucleotide sequence G downward arrowCGC in DNA. We report three structures of HinP1I-DNA complexes: in the presence of Ca(2+) (pre-reactive complex), in the absence of metal ion (binary complex) and in the presence of Mg(2+) (post-reactive complex). HinP1I forms a back-to-back dimer with two active sites and two DNA duplexes bound on the outer ...
متن کاملSimultaneous DNA Binding, Bending, and Base Flipping
We measured the kinetics of DNA bending by M.EcoRI using DNA labeled at both 5 -ends and observed changes in fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Although known to bend its cognate DNA site, energy transfer is decreased upon enzyme binding. This unanticipated effect is shown to be robust because we observe the identical decrease with different dye pairs, when the dye pairs are placed on the ...
متن کاملStrong minor groove base conservation in sequence logos implies DNA distortion or base flipping during replication and transcription initiation.
The sequence logo for DNA binding sites of the bacteriophage P1 replication protein RepA shows unusually high sequence conservation ( approximately 2 bits) at a minor groove that faces RepA. However, B-form DNA can support only 1 bit of sequence conservation via contacts into the minor groove. The high conservation in RepA sites therefore implies a distorted DNA helix with direct or indirect co...
متن کاملCooperative cluster formation, DNA bending and base-flipping by O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase
O6-Alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) repairs mutagenic O6-alkylguanine and O4-alkylthymine adducts in DNA, protecting the genome and also contributing to the resistance of tumors to chemotherapeutic alkylating agents. AGT binds DNA cooperatively, and cooperative interactions are likely to be important in lesion search and repair. We examined morphologies of complexes on long, unmodified D...
