Solution structure of the E. coli bacteriophage P1 encoded HOT protein: a homologue of the theta subunit of E. coli DNA polymerase III
Overview
DNA polymerase III, the main replicative polymerase of E. coli, contains a, small subunit, theta, that binds to the epsilon proofreading subunit and, appears to enhance the enzyme's proofreading function--especially under, extreme conditions. It was recently discovered that E. coli bacteriophage, P1 encodes a theta homolog, named HOT. The (1)H-(15)N HSQC spectrum of HOT, exhibits more uniform intensities and less evidence of conformational, exchange than that of theta; this uniformity facilitates a determination, of the HOT solution structure by NMR. The structure contains three alpha, helices, as reported previously for theta; however, the folding topology, of the two proteins is very different. Residual dipolar coupling, measurements on labeled theta support the conclusion that it is, structurally homologous with HOT. As judged by CD measurements, the, melting temperature of HOT was 62 degrees C, compared to 56 degrees C for, theta, consistent with other data suggesting greater thermal stability of, the HOT protein.
