==Crystal structure of chi and psi subunit heterodimer from DNA POL III==
-
The chi (chi) and psi (psi) subunits of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase, III form a heterodimer that is associated with the ATP-dependent, clamp-loader machinery. In E. coli, the chi:psi heterodimer serves as a, bridge between the clamp-loader complex and the single-stranded, DNA-binding protein. We determined the crystal structure of the chi:psi, heterodimer at 2.1 A resolution. Although neither chi (147 residues) nor, psi (137 residues) bind to nucleotides, the fold of each protein is, similar to the folds of mononucleotide-(chi) or dinucleotide-(psi) binding, proteins, without marked similarity to the structures of the clamp-loader, subunits. Genes encoding chi and psi proteins are found to be readily, identifiable in several bacterial genomes and sequence alignments showed, that residues at the chi:psi interface are highly conserved in both, proteins, suggesting that the heterodimeric interaction is of functional, significance. The conservation of surface-exposed residues is restricted, to the interfacial region and to just two other regions in the chi:psi, complex. One of the conserved regions was found to be located on chi, distal to the psi interaction region, and we identified this as the, binding site for a C-terminal segment of the single-stranded DNA-binding, protein. The other region of sequence conservation is localized to an, N-terminal segment of psi (26 residues) that is disordered in the crystal, structure. We speculate that psi is linked to the clamp-loader complex by, this flexible, but conserved, N-terminal segment, and that the chi:psi, unit is linked to the single-stranded DNA-binding protein via the distal, surface of chi. The base of the clamp-loader complex has an open C-shaped, structure, and the shape of the chi:psi complex is suggestive of a loose, docking within the crevice formed by the open faces of the delta and, delta' subunits of the clamp-loader.
