The bacteriophage T4 59 protein (gp59) plays a
vital role in recombination and replication by promoting the assembly
of the gene 41 helicase (gp41) onto DNA, thus enabling replication as well as strand exchange in recombination. Loading of the helicase onto
gp32 (the T4 single strand binding protein)-coated single-stranded DNA
requires gp59 to remove gp32 and replace it with gp41. Cross-linking studies between gp32 and gp59 reveal an interaction between Cys-166 of
gp32 and Cys-42 of gp59. Since Cys-166 lies in the DNA binding core
domain of gp32, this interaction may affect the association of gp32
with DNA. In the presence of gp32 or DNA, gp59 is capable of forming a
multimer consisting of at least five gp59 subunits. Kinetics studies
suggest that gp59 and gp41 exist in a one-to-one ratio, predicting that
gp59 is capable of forming a hexamer (Raney, K. D., Carver,
T. E., and Benkovic, S. J. (1996) J. Biol.
Chem. 271, 14074-14081). The C-terminal A-domain of gp32 is
needed for gp59 oligomer formation. Cross-linking has established that
gp59 can interact with gp32-A (a truncated form of gp32 lacking the A-domain) but cannot form higher species. The results support a model
in which gp59 binds to gp32 on a replication fork, destabilizing the
gp32-single-stranded DNA interaction concomitant with the oligomerization of gp59 that results in a switching of gp41 for gp32 at
the replication fork.
