Mechanistic understanding of MuB function has previously been hindered by MuB's poor solubility. Here we combine bioinformatic, mutagenic, biochemical, and electron microscopic analyses to unmask the structure and function of MuB. We demonstrate that MuB is an ATPase associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA+ ATPase) and forms ATP-dependent filaments with or without DNA. We also identify critical residues for MuB's ATPase, DNA binding, protein polymerization, and MuA interaction activities. Using single-particle electron microscopy, we show that MuB assembles into a helical filament, which binds the DNA in the axial channel. The helical parameters of the MuB filament do not match those of the coated DNA. Despite this protein-DNA symmetry mismatch, MuB does not deform the DNA duplex. These findings, together with the influence of MuB filament size on strand-transfer efficiency, lead to a model in which MuB-imposed symmetry transiently deforms the DNA at the boundary of the MuB filament and results in a bent DNA favored by MuA for transposition.
