The Zα domain of fish PKZ converts DNA hairpin with d(GC)(n) inserts to Z-conformation.

Abstract：

:PKZ, protein kinase containing Z-DNA domains, is a novel member of the vertebrate eIF2α kinase family. Containing a catalytic domain in C-terminus and two Z-DNA binding domains (Zα1 and Zα2) in N-terminus, PKZ can be activated through the binding of Zα to Z-DNA. However, the regulatory function of PKZ Zα remains to be established. Here, to understand the impact of PKZ Zα on DNA conformational transition, wild-type Zα1Zα2 and 11 mutant proteins were expressed and purified. At the same time, several different lengths of DNA hairpins-d(GC)nT4(GC)n (n = 2-6) and an RNA hairpin-r(GC)6T4(GC)6 were synthesized. The effects of Zα1Zα2 and mutant proteins on the conformation of these synthetic DNA or RNA hairpins were investigated by using circular dichroism spectrum and gel mobility shift assays. The results showed that DNA hairpins retained a conventional B-DNA conformation in the absence of Zα1Zα2, while some of the DNA hairpins (n≥3) were converted to Z-conformation under Zα1Zα2 induction. The tendency was proportionally associated with the increasing amount of GC repeat. In comparison with Zα1Zα2, Zα1Zα1 rather than Zα2Zα2 displayed a higher ability in converting d(GC)6T4(GC)6 from B- to Z-DNA. These results demonstrated that Zα1 sub-domain played a more essential role in the process of B-Z conformational transition than Zα2 sub-domain did. Mutant proteins (K34A, N38A, R39A, Y42A, P57A, P58A, and W60A) could not convert d(GC)6T4(GC)6 into Z-DNA, whereas S35A or K56A retained some partial activities. Interestingly, Zα1Zα2 was also able to induce r(GC)6T4(GC)6 RNA from A-conformation to Z-conformation under appropriate conditions.
