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...
متن کاملBacterial 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...
متن کاملIntrinsically disordered C-terminal tails of E. coli single-stranded DNA binding protein regulate cooperative binding to single-stranded DNA.
The homotetrameric Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) plays a central role in DNA replication, repair and recombination. E. coli SSB can bind to long single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in multiple binding modes using all four subunits [(SSB)65 mode] or only two subunits [(SSB)35 binding mode], with the binding mode preference regulated by salt concentration and SSB binding dens...
متن کاملBinding of the dimeric Deinococcus radiodurans single-stranded DNA binding protein to single-stranded DNA.
Deinococcus radiodurans single-stranded (ss) DNA binding protein (DrSSB) originates from a radiation-resistant bacterium and participates in DNA recombination, replication, and repair. Although it functions as a homodimer, it contains four DNA binding domains (OB-folds) and thus is structurally similar to the Escherichia coli SSB (EcoSSB) homotetramer. We examined the equilibrium binding of DrS...
متن کاملThe 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...
