Stabilization of an archaeal DNA-sliding clamp protein, PCNA, by proteasome-activating nucleotidase gene knockout in Haloferax volcanii

Journal Article Kirkland, P. Aaron ; Maupin-Furlow, Julie A. - FEMS Microbiology Letters

Many details of structure, function and substrate specificity of eukaryotic proteasomal systems have been elucidated. This information far-exceeds that available for the archaeal and bacterial counterparts. While structural and functional studies have provided some insight into the workings of prokaryotic proteasomes, the question of substrate targeting and global cellular influence remain largely unaddressed. In this communication, we report an over 720-fold increase in the half-life of the DNA-sliding clamp protein proliferating cell nuclear antigen after knockout of the panA gene, encoding a proteasome-activating nucleotidase A, on the chromosome of the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii. This discovery marks the first identificationmore »« less

Structural insight into recruitment of translesion DNA polymerase Dpo4 to sliding clamp PCNA

Journal Article Xing, G ; Kirouac, K ; Shin, Y J ; ... - Mol. Microbiol.

DNA polymerases are co-ordinated by sliding clamps (PCNA/{beta}-clamp) in translesion synthesis. It is unclear how these enzymes assemble on PCNA with geometric and functional compatibility. We report the crystal structure of a full-length Y-family polymerase, Dpo4, in complex with heterodimeric PCNA1-PCNA2 at 2.05 {angstrom} resolution. Dpo4 exhibits an extended conformation that differs from the Dpo4 structures in apo- or DNA-bound form. Two hinges have been identified in Dpo4, which render the multidomain polymerase flexible conformations and orientations relative to PCNA. Dpo4 binds specifically to PCNA1 on the conserved ligand binding site. The C-terminal peptide of Dpo4 becomes structured with amore »« less

Analysis of the role of PCNA-DNA contacts during clamp loading

Journal Article McNally, Randall ; Bowman, Gregory D. ; Goedken, Eric R. ; ... - BMC Structural Biology (Online)

Background: Sliding clamps, such as Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) in eukaryotes, are ring-shaped protein complexes that encircle DNA and enable highly processive DNA replication by serving as docking sites for DNA polymerases. In an ATP-dependent reaction, clamp loader complexes, such as the Replication Factor-C (RFC) complex in eukaryotes, open the clamp and load it around primer-template DNA. Results: We built a model of RFC bound to PCNA and DNA based on existing crystal structures of clamp loaders. This model suggests that DNA would enter the clamp at an angle during clamp loading, thereby interacting with positively charged residues inmore »« less

DNA Sliding Clamps: Just the Right Twist to Load onto DNA

Journal Article Barsky, D ; Venclovas, C - Current Biology

Two recent papers illuminate a long sought step in DNA sliding clamp loading. One paper reveals the structure of the PCNA clamp wrapped around DNA--still open from being loaded--while a second paper discovers that the clamp may assist this process by forming a right-handed helix upon opening.
