Single-molecule FRET and linear dichroism studies of DNA breathing and helicase binding at replication fork junctions.

Abstract:

:DNA "breathing" is a thermally driven process in which base-paired DNA sequences transiently adopt local conformations that depart from their most stable structures. Polymerases and other proteins of genome expression require access to single-stranded DNA coding templates located in the double-stranded DNA "interior," and it is likely that fluctuations of the sugar-phosphate backbones of dsDNA that result in mechanistically useful local base pair opening reactions can be exploited by such DNA regulatory proteins. Such motions are difficult to observe in bulk measurements, both because they are infrequent and because they often occur on microsecond time scales that are not easy to access experimentally. We report single-molecule fluorescence experiments with polarized light, in which tens-of-microseconds rotational motions of internally labeled iCy3/iCy5 donor-acceptor Förster resonance energy transfer fluorophore pairs that have been rigidly inserted into the backbones of replication fork constructs are simultaneously detected using single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer and single-molecule fluorescence-detected linear dichroism signals. Our results reveal significant local motions in the ∼100-μs range, a reasonable time scale for DNA breathing fluctuations of potential relevance for DNA-protein interactions. Moreover, we show that both the magnitudes and the relaxation times of these backbone breathing fluctuations are significantly perturbed by interactions of the fork construct with a nonprocessive, weakly binding bacteriophage T4-coded helicase hexamer initiation complex, suggesting that these motions may play a fundamental role in the initial binding, assembly, and function of the processive helicase-primase (primosome) component of the bacteriophage T4-coded DNA replication complex.
