Solution Structure of the C-Terminal domain of UvrC from E-coli
Overview
The C-terminal domain of the UvrC protein (UvrC CTD) is essential for 5' incision in the prokaryotic nucleotide excision repair process. We have determined the three-dimensional structure of the UvrC CTD using heteronuclear NMR techniques. The structure shows two helix-hairpin-helix (HhH) motifs connected by a small connector helix. The UvrC CTD is shown to mediate structure-specific DNA binding. The domain binds to a single-stranded-double-stranded junction DNA, with a strong specificity towards looped duplex DNA that contains at least six unpaired bases per loop ("bubble DNA"). Using chemical shift perturbation experiments, the DNA-binding surface is mapped to the first hairpin region encompassing the conserved glycine-valine-glycine residues followed by lysine-arginine-arginine, a positively charged surface patch and the second hairpin region consisting of glycine-isoleucine-serine. A model for the protein-DNA complex is proposed that accounts for this specificity.
