A prepriming DNA replication enzyme of Escherichia coli. II. Actions of protein n': a sequence-specific, DNA-dependent ATPase

J Shlomai and A Kornberg

Protein n' of Escherichia coli is required for formation of the prepriming complex in replication of the single-stranded circle of phiX174 DNA. The protein, purified to near homogeneity, possesses ATPase (dATPase) activity in the presence of single-stranded, but not duplex, DNAs. Except for phiX174 DNA, ATPase activity is completely suppressed by coating the DNA with single strand binding protein (SSB). phiX174 DNA possesses a unique sequence with a potential hairpin structure that is recognized as an effector (Shlomai, J., and Kornberg, A. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 77, 799-803). Sequences with secondary structure in SSB-coated M13 DNA which are recognized by RNA polymerase, and in coated G4 DNA by primase, are inert for protein n'. Approximately 30 of the 180 molecules of SSB bound to phiX DNA are destabilized by protein n' in an ATP-dependent reaction. These actions by protein n' may be important in recognizing an origin for forming the prepriming complex that leads to initiation of phiX complementary strand synthesis.
