The role of MutS ATPase in mismatch repair is
controversial. To clarify further the function of this activity, we
have examined adenine nucleotide effects on interactions of
Escherichia coli MutS with homoduplex and heteroduplex
DNAs. In contrast to previous results with human MutS
, we find that
a physical block at one end of a linear heteroduplex is sufficient to
support stable MutS complex formation in the presence of
ATP·Mg2+. Surface plasmon resonance analysis at low ionic
strength indicates that the lifetime of MutS complexes with
heteroduplex DNA depends on the nature of the nucleotide present when
MutS binds. Whereas complexes prepared in the absence of nucleotide or
in the presence of ADP undergo rapid dissociation upon challenge with
ATP·Mg2+, complexes produced in the presence of
ATP·Mg2+, adenosine 5'-(
,
-imino)triphosphate
(AMPPNP)·Mg2+, or ATP (no Mg2+) are resistant
to dissociation upon ATP challenge. AMPPNP·Mg2+ and ATP
(no Mg2+) reduce MutS affinity for heteroduplex but have
little effect on homoduplex affinity, resulting in abolition of
specificity for mispaired DNA at physiological salt concentrations.
Conversely, the highest mismatch specificity is observed in the absence
of nucleotide or in the presence of ADP. ADP has only a limited effect on heteroduplex affinity but reduces MutS affinity for homoduplex DNA.
