In Escherichia coli, SSB's association with the χ subunit of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme has been proposed to confer stability to the replisome and to aid delivery of primers to the lagging-strand DNA polymerase. Here, the SSB-binding site on χ is identified crystallographically and biochemical and cellular studies delineate the consequences of destabilizing the χ/SSB interface. An essential role for the χ/SSB interaction in lagging-strand primer utilization is not supported. However, sequence changes in χ that block complex formation with SSB lead to salt-dependent uncoupling of leading- and lagging-strand DNA synthesis and to a surprising obstruction of the leading-strand DNA polymerase in vitro, pointing to roles for the χ/SSB complex in replisome establishment and maintenance. Destabilization of the χ/SSB complex in vivo produces cells with temperature-dependent cell cycle defects that appear to arise from replisome instability.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21857649?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Handa, Naofumi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amitani, Ichiro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gumlaw, Nathan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, Steven J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kowalczykowski, Stephen C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Single molecule analysis of a red fluorescent RecA protein reveals a defect in nucleoprotein filament nucleation that relates to its reduced biological functions.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Biol Chem</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Unfortunately, some proteins are rendered inactive by the fusion. To circumvent this problem, we fused a hyperactive RecA protein (RecA803 protein) to monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP1) to produce a functional protein (RecA-RFP) that is suitable for in vivo and in vitro analysis. In vivo, the RecA-RFP partially restores UV resistance, conjugational recombination, and SOS induction to recA(-) cells. In vitro, the purified RecA-RFP protein forms a nucleoprotein filament whose k(cat) for single-stranded DNA-dependent ATPase activity is reduced approximately 3-fold relative to wild-type protein, and which is largely inhibited by single-stranded DNA-binding protein. However, RecA protein is also a dATPase; dATP supports RecA-RFP nucleoprotein filament formation in the presence of single-stranded DNA-binding protein. Furthermore, as for the wild-type protein, the activities of RecA-RFP are further enhanced by shifting the pH to 6.2. As a consequence, RecA-RFP is proficient for DNA strand exchange with dATP or at lower pH. Finally, using single molecule visualization, RecA-RFP was seen to assemble into a continuous filament on duplex DNA, and to extend the DNA approximately 1.7-fold. Consistent with its attenuated activities, RecA-RFP nucleates onto double-stranded DNA approximately 3-fold more slowly than the wild-type protein, but still requires approximately 3 monomers to form the rate-limited nucleus needed for filament assembly. Thus, RecA-RFP reveals that its attenuated biological functions correlate with a reduced frequency of nucleoprotein filament nucleation at the single molecule level.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19419960?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long, Jarukit E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renzette, Nicholas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, Steven J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suppression of constitutive SOS expression by recA4162 (I298V) and recA4164 (L126V) requires UvrD and RecX in Escherichia coli K-12.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Microbiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

In Escherichia coli, RecA polymerizes on ssDNA produced by DNA damage creating a RecA-DNA filament that interacts with the LexA repressor inducing the SOS response. RecA filament stability is negatively modulated by RecX and UvrD. recA730 (E38K) and recA4142 (F217Y) constitutively express the SOS response. recA4162 (I298V) and recA4164 (L126V) are intragenic suppressors of the constitutive SOS phenotype of recA730. Herein, it is shown that these suppressors are not allele specific and can suppress SOS(C) expression of recA730 and recA4142 in cis and in trans. recA4162 and recA4164 single mutants (and the recA730 and recA4142 derivatives) are Rec(+), UV(R) and are able to induce the SOS response after UV treatment like wild-type. UvrD and RecX are required for the suppression in two (recA730,4164 and recA4142,4162) of the four double mutants tested. To explain the data, one model suggests that recA(C) alleles promote SOS(C) expression by mimicking RecA filament structures that induce SOS and the suppressor alleles mimic RecA filament at end of SOS. UvrD and RecX are attracted to these latter structures to help dismantle or destabilize the RecA filament.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19555451?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gruenig, Marielle C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renzette, Nicholas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long, Edward</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chitteni-Pattu, Sindhu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inman, Ross B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cox, Michael M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, Steven J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RecA-mediated SOS induction requires an extended filament conformation but no ATP hydrolysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Microbiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

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 induction in vivo. We have combined the K72R variant of RecA with another mutation, RecA E38K (recA730). In vitro, the double mutant RecA E38K/K72R (recA730,2201) mimics the K72R mutant protein in that it has no ATPase activity. The double mutant protein will form long extended filaments on ssDNA and facilitate LexA cleavage almost as well as wild-type, and do so in the presence of ATP. Unlike recA K72R, the recA E38K/K72R double mutant promotes SOS induction in vivo after UV treatment. Thus, SOS induction does not require ATP hydrolysis by the RecA protein, but does require formation of extended RecA filaments. The RecA E38K/K72R protein represents an improved reagent for studies of the function of ATP hydrolysis by RecA in vivo and in vitro.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18627467?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renzette, Nicholas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, Steven J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Requirements for ATP binding and hydrolysis in RecA function in Escherichia coli.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Microbiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

ATP hydrolysis is known to be important for RecA's roles in recombination and DNA repair. In vitro reactions modelling SOS induction minimally require ssDNA and non-hydrolyzable ATP analogues. This predicts that ATP hydrolysis will not be required for SOS induction in vivo. The requirement of ATP binding and hydrolysis for SOS induction in vivo is tested here through the study of recA4159 (K72A) and recA2201 (K72R). RecA4159 is thought to have reduced affinity for ATP. RecA2201 binds, but does not hydrolyse ATP. Neither mutant was able to induce SOS expression after UV irradiation. RecA2201, unlike RecA4159, could form filaments on DNA and storage structures as measured with RecA-GFP. RecA2201 was able to form hybrid filaments and storage structures and was either recessive or dominant to RecA(+), depending on the ratio of the two proteins. RecA4159 was unable to enter RecA(+) filaments on DNA or storage structures and was recessive to RecA(+). It is concluded that ATP hydrolysis is essential for SOS induction. It is proposed that ATP binding is essential for storage structure formation and ability to interact with other RecA proteins in a filament.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18298444?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renzette, Nicholas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gumlaw, Nathan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, Steven J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DinI and RecX modulate RecA-DNA structures in Escherichia coli K-12.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Microbiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

Biochemical observations show that at low ratios to RecA, DinI and RecX stabilize and destabilize RecA-DNA filaments, respectively, and that the C-terminal 17 residues of RecA are important for RecX function. RecA-DNA filament formation was assayed in vivo using RecA-GFP foci formation in log-phase and UV-irradiated cells. In log-phase cells, dinI mutants have fewer foci than wild type and that recX mutants have more foci than wild type. A recADelta17::gfp mutant had more foci like a recX mutant. dinI recX double mutants have the same number of foci as dinI mutants alone, suggesting that dinI is epistatic to recX. After UV treatment, the dinI, recX and dinI recX mutants differed in their ability to form foci. All three mutants had fewer foci than wild type. The dinI mutant's foci persisted longer than wild-type foci. Roles of DinI and RecX after UV treatment differed from those during log-phase growth and may reflect the different DNA substrates, population of proteins or amounts during the SOS response. These experiments give new insight into the roles of these proteins.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17163974?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lopper, Matthew</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boonsombat, Ruethairat</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, Steven J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Keck, James L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A hand-off mechanism for primosome assembly in replication restart.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Cell</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

In E. coli, the PriA-dependent pathway is the major replication restart mechanism and requires primosome proteins PriA, PriB, and DnaT for replisome reloading. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate origin-independent replisome loading are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that assembly of primosome protein complexes represents a key regulatory mechanism, as inherently weak PriA-PriB and PriB-DnaT interactions are strongly stimulated by single-stranded DNA. Furthermore, the binding site on PriB for single-stranded DNA partially overlaps the binding sites for PriA and DnaT, suggesting a dynamic primosome assembly process in which single-stranded DNA is handed off from one primosome protein to another as a repaired replication fork is reactivated. This model helps explain how origin-independent initiation of DNA replication is restricted to repaired replication forks, preventing overreplication of the genome.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17588514?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boonsombat, Ruethairat</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yeh, Su-Ping</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milne, Amy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, Steven J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A novel dnaC mutation that suppresses priB rep mutant phenotypes in Escherichia coli K-12.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Microbiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

During replication restart in Escherichia coli, the PriA, PriB, PriC, DnaT and Rep proteins form multiple pathways that bind to repaired replication forks. These complexes are then recognized by DnaC as sites to load DnaB, the replicative helicase. Several dnaC mutations have been isolated that suppress phenotypes of some replication restart mutants. A new dnaC mutation (dnaC824) is reported here that efficiently suppresses priB rep mutant phenotypes. Furthermore, it is shown that dnaC824 will suppress phenotypes of priB priA300, rep priA300 and priB priC strains. Unlike other dnaC suppressors, it can only weakly suppress the absence of priA. Others have reported a different type of dnaC mutation, dnaC1331, is able to mimic priB mutant phenotypes. This is supported herein by showing that like dnaC1331, a priB mutation is synthetically lethal with a dam mutation and this can be rescued by a mutH mutation. Furthermore, priB dam lethality can also be suppressed by dnaC824. Like a priB mutation, a dnaC1331 mutation causes a priA2::kan-like phenotype when combined with priA300. Lastly, we show that dnaC824 is dominant to wild type and that dnaC1331 is recessive to wild type. Several models are discussed for the action of these mutant dnaC proteins in replication restart.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16677308?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renzette, Nicholas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gumlaw, Nathan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nordman, Jared T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krieger, Marlee</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yeh, Su-Ping</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long, Edward</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centore, Richard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boonsombat, Ruethairat</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, Steven J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Localization of RecA in Escherichia coli K-12 using RecA-GFP.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Microbiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

It functions through the production of a protein-DNA filament. To study the localization of RecA in live Escherichia coli cells, the RecA protein was fused to the green fluorescence protein (GFP). Strains with this gene have recombination/DNA repair activities three- to tenfold below wild type (or about 1000-fold above that of a recA null mutant). RecA-GFP cells have a background of green fluorescence punctuated with up to five foci per cell. Two types of foci have been defined: 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)-sensitive foci that are bound to DNA and DAPI-insensitive foci that are DNA-less aggregates/storage structures. In log phase cells, foci were not localized to any particular region. After UV irradiation, the number of foci increased and they localized to the cell centre. This suggested colocalization with the DNA replication factory. recA, recB and recF strains showed phenotypes and distributions of foci consistent with the predicted effects of these mutations.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16091045?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, Steven J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Requirements for replication restart proteins during constitutive stable DNA replication in Escherichia coli K-12.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetics</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacterial Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA Replication</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA, Bacterial</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA-Binding Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Escherichia coli</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Escherichia coli Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome, Bacterial</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macromolecular Substances</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Models, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation, Missense</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rec A Recombinases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SOS Response (Genetics)</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">169</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1799-806</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Constitutive stable DNA replication (cSDR) is a mechanism for replisome loading in Escherichia coli K-12. This occurs in a dnaA-independent fashion in an rnhA mutant. cSDR is dependent on recA, priA, and transcription. In this report, it is shown that dnaA rnhA mutants using cSDR for initiation of their DNA replication additionally require priB, but not priC, for viability. Two subtle priA missense mutations either eliminated the ability to grow using cSDR (priA301 C479Y) or resulted in very small colonies (priA300 K230R). DnaC809, a priA suppressor, failed to allow priA or priB mutants to grow using cSDR to initiate DNA replication. Furthermore, unlike dnaC(+) strains, dnaC809 strains require priC for cSDR. DnaC809,820, a priC-independent suppressor of priA2::kan phenotypes, allowed priA and priC (but not priB) mutants to grow using cSDR to initiate DNA replication. It is also shown that rep and rnhA mutations are synthetically lethal. DnaC809 and dnaC809,820 mutations suppress this lethality. Rep is further shown to be required for cSDR in a dnaC809 strain. A model whereby these different sets of replication restart proteins interact preferentially with substrates associated with either RecA or SSB during replication restart and cSDR, respectively, is proposed.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15716497?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
