Plays a role in T4 DNA replication initiation by selecting and activating DNA origins. Acts by dissociating and reassociating with the DNA molecule being unwound. Unwinds DNA as a monomer in a 5'-to-3' direction at a rate of 250 bp/s and can efficiently displace proteins from the DNA.<ref>PMID:12411580</ref> <ref>PMID:18314134</ref> <ref>PMID:22504228</ref> |

| + | Bacteriophage T4 is a classic model system for studying the mechanisms of DNA processing. A key protein in T4 DNA processing is the gp32 single-stranded DNA-binding protein. gp32 has two key functions: it binds cooperatively to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to protect it from nucleases and remove regions of secondary structure, and it recruits proteins to initiate DNA processes including replication and repair. Dda is a T4 helicase recruited by gp32, and we purified and crystallized a gp32-Dda-ssDNA complex. The low-resolution structure revealed how the C-terminus of gp32 engages Dda. Analytical ultracentrifugation analyses were consistent with the crystal structure. An optimal Dda binding peptide from the gp32 C-terminus was identified using surface plasmon resonance. The crystal structure of the Dda-peptide complex was consistent with the corresponding interaction in the gp32-Dda-ssDNA structure. A Dda-dependent DNA unwinding assay supported the structural conclusions and confirmed that the bound gp32 sequesters the ssDNA generated by Dda. The structure of the gp32-Dda-ssDNA complex, together with the known structure of the gp32 body, reveals the entire ssDNA binding surface of gp32. gp32-Dda-ssDNA complexes in the crystal are connected by the N-terminal region of one gp32 binding to an adjacent gp32, and this provides key insights into this interaction. | ||
