Replication protein A (RPA) participates in many
cellular functions including DNA replication and nucleotide excision
repair. A direct interaction between RPA and the xeroderma pigmentosum group A protein (XPA) facilitates the assembly of a preincision complex
during the processing of DNA damage by the nucleotide excision
repair pathway. We demonstrate here the formation of a ternary
RPA, XPA, and duplex cisplatin-damaged DNA complex as is evident by
electrophoretic supershift analysis. The RPA-XPA complex displays
modest specificity for damaged versus undamaged duplex DNA,
and the RPA-XPA complex displays a greater affinity for binding duplex
cisplatin-damaged DNA when compared with the RPA or XPA proteins alone,
consistent with previous results. Using DNA denaturation assays, we
demonstrate that the role of XPA is in the stabilization of the duplex
DNA structure via inhibition of the strand separation activity of RPA.
Rapid kinetic analysis indicates that the bimolecular
kon of the RPA-XPA complex is 2.5-fold faster
than RPA alone for binding a duplex cisplatin-damaged DNA. The
dissociation rate, koff, of the RPA-XPA complex
is slower than that of the RPA protein alone, suggesting that the XPA
protein stabilizes the initial binding of RPA to duplex DNA as well as maintaining the integrity of the duplex DNA. Interestingly, XPA has no
effect on the kon of RPA for a single-stranded
40-mer DNA.
