Translesion DNA Polymerases02:10

Translesion DNA Polymerases

11.5K
Translesion (TLS) polymerases rescue stalled DNA polymerases at sites of damaged bases by replacing the replicative polymerase and installing a nucleotide across the damaged site. Doing so, TLS allows additional time for the cell to repair the damage before resuming regular DNA replication.
TLS polymerases are found in all three domains of life - archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Of the different classes of TLS polymerases, members of the Y family are fitted with specialized structures that...

The DNA Replication Fork01:02

The DNA Replication Fork

42.5K
An organism’s genome needs to be duplicated in an efficient and error-free manner for its growth and survival. The replication fork is a Y-shaped active region where two strands of DNA are separated and replicated continuously. The coupling of DNA unzipping and complementary strand synthesis is a characteristic feature of a replication fork.   Organisms with small circular DNA, such as E. coli, often have a single origin of replication; therefore, they have only two replication...

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

6.5K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Homologous Recombination02:31

Homologous Recombination

65.0K
The basic reaction of homologous recombination (HR) involves two chromatids that contain DNA sequences sharing a significant stretch of identity. One of these sequences uses a strand from another as a template to synthesize DNA in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The final product is a novel amalgamation of the two substrates. To ensure an accurate recombination of sequences, HR is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. At these stages, the DNA has been replicated already and the...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Microbial Genetics

Background:

  • IS200/IS605 insertion sequences (IS) possess a unique single-strand (ss) DNA transposition mechanism.
  • Transposition is mediated by the Y1 transposase, TnpA, a HuH enzyme that processes ssDNA substrates.
  • The 'peel and paste' pathway involves ssDNA excision and integration into ssDNA targets, often linked to replication forks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate factors influencing replication fork targeting by IS200/IS605 transposase.
  • Analyze DNA-binding properties of TnpA for ssDNA substrate localization at replication forks.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro analysis of TnpA interactions with replication fork mimics.
  • Assessing TnpA binding to DNA structures resembling replication forks.
  • Evaluating the impact of Ssb and RecA proteins on TnpA activity.

Main Results:

  • TnpA interacts with the β sliding clamp (DnaN) and recognizes replication fork-mimicking DNA structures.
  • Double-strand DNA (dsDNA) facilitates TnpA targeting of ssDNA substrates.
  • Ssb protein inhibits TnpA integration, while RecA shows no significant effect.

Conclusions:

  • TnpA's interactions with DnaN and fork-like DNA structures facilitate ssDNA substrate targeting.
  • dsDNA can enhance TnpA's ability to locate ssDNA targets.
  • Ssb protein negatively regulates TnpA integration, suggesting a role in controlling transposition at the replication fork.
