Publication Abstract from PubMed

SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily A-like1 (SMARCAL1) is a recently identified DNA damage response protein involved in remodeling stalled replication forks. The eukaryotic single-strand (ss) DNA-binding protein Replication Protein A (RPA) recruits SMARCAL1 to stalled forks in vivo and facilitates regression of forks containing leading strand gaps. Both activities are mediated by a direct interaction between an RPA-binding motif (RBM) at the N-terminus of SMARCAL1 and the C-terminal winged-helix domain of the RPA 32-kDa subunit (RPA32C). Here we report a biophysical and structural characterization of the SMARCAL1-RPA interaction. Isothermal titration calorimetry and CD spectroscopy revealed that RPA32C binds the SMARCAL1-RBM with a Kd of 3 muM and induces a disorder-to-helix transition. The crystal structure of RPA32C was refined to 1.4 A resolution and the SMARCAL1-RBM binding site was mapped on the structure on the basis of NMR chemical shift perturbations. Conservation of the interaction surface to other RBM-containing proteins enabled construction of a model for the RPA32C/SMARCAL1-RBM complex. The implications of our results are discussed with respect to the recruitment of SMARCAL1 and other DNA damage response and repair proteins to stalled replication forks.
