- 结构生物学 结构生物学
背景情况:
- 复制性DNA聚合酶 (聚体) 具有高基因选择性,这是基因组完整性的关键过程.
- 目前的假设表明,与不正确的脱氧核酸三酸盐 (dNTPs) 的三元复合物不稳定是基础歧视的基础.
- 了解这种不稳定的分子基础是解释基选择性的关键.
研究的目的:
- 阐明RB69 DNA聚合酶通过不正确的dNTPs形成的三元复合物的破坏稳定的结构基础.
- 确定导致不匹配的dNTPs无效结合的特定分子相互作用和硬质因素.
主要方法:
- 使用工程RB69聚合酶四重突变 (qm) 来确定三元复合物的晶体结构.
- 在三元复合体内捕获新生的错配的dNTP.
- 模拟不匹配到野生类型 (wt) 聚合酶活性位点进行比较.
主要成果:
- 结构揭示了qm聚合酶新生的基对结合口袋 (NBP) 和二进制复合体中的不匹配之间的显著差异.
- 在12个模拟的不匹配中,只有3个导致了野生类型NBP中的立体碰撞;其他匹配但偏离了沃森-克里克配对.
- qm聚合酶的扩大NBP和重新定位的模板核酸适应了不正确的dNTP不同于 wt pol.
结论:
- 由wt RB69 pol对不正确的dNTP的无效整合被归因于Fingers域关闭后的固态冲突.
- 输入的dNTP和模板基之间的弱相互作用或差距,以及在疏水性NBP环境中埋葬的质子基,也会有所贡献.
- 这些因素破坏了封闭的三元复合体的稳定性,使得错误的dNTP结合成为罕见的事件,并确保高保真度的DNA复制.

Mismatch Repair
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Proofreading
Synthesis of new DNA molecules is carried out by the enzyme DNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides on the daughter strand complementary to the template DNA strand. DNA polymerase has a higher affinity to add the correct base and ensures fidelity during DNA replication. Furthermore, it exhibits proofreading activity during replication, using an exonuclease domain that cuts off incorrect nucleotides from the nascent DNA strand.

Translesion DNA Polymerases
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...
