Abstract

RepA is the DNA replication initiator protein of the Pseudomonas plasmid pPS10. RepA has a dual function: as a dimer, it binds to an inversely-repeated sequence acting as a repressor of its own synthesis; as a monomer, RepA binds to four directly-repeated sequences to constitute a specialized nucleoprotein complex responsible for the initiation of DNA replication. We have previously shown that a Leucine Zipper-like motif (LZ) at the N-terminus of RepA is responsible for protein dimerization. In this paper we characterize the existence in RepA of two protein globular domains C-terminal to the LZ. We propose that dissociation of RepA dimers into monomers results in a conformational change from a compact arrangement of both domains, competent for binding to the operator, to an extended species that is suited for iteron binding. This model establishes the structural basis for the activation of DNA replication initiators in plasmids from Gram-negative bacteria.

摘要

RepA是假单胞菌质粒pPS10的DNA复制起始蛋白。RepA具有双重功能:作为二聚体,它与反向重复序列结合,作为自身合成的阻遏物;作为单体,RepA与四个直接重复序列结合,构成负责DNA复制起始的特殊核蛋白复合物。我们之前已经表明,RepA N端的一个类似亮氨酸拉链的基序(LZ)负责蛋白质二聚化。在本文中,我们描述了LZ C端RepA中存在的两个蛋白质球状结构域。我们提出,RepA二聚体解离成单体导致构象变化,从两个结构域紧密排列(能够结合操纵子)转变为适合结合迭代子的伸展形式。该模型为革兰氏阴性菌质粒中DNA复制起始蛋白的激活建立了结构基础。
