Replication protein A (RPA) is a heterotrimeric (subunits of 70, 32, and 14
kDa) single-stranded DNA-binding protein that is required for DNA replication,
recombination, and repair. The 40-residue N-terminal domain of the 32-kDa
subunit of RPA (RPA32) becomes phosphorylated during S-phase and after DNA
damage. Recently it has been shown that phosphorylation or the addition of
negative charges to this N-terminal phosphorylation domain modulates
RPA-protein interactions and increases cell sensitivity to DNA damage. We
found that addition of multiple negative charges to the N-terminal
phosphorylation domain also caused a significant decrease in the ability of a
mutant form of RPA to destabilize double-stranded (ds) DNA. Kinetic studies
suggested that the addition of negative charges to the N-terminal
phosphorylation domain caused defects in both complex formation (nucleation)
and subsequent destabilization of dsDNA by RPA. We conclude that the
N-terminal phosphorylation domain modulates RPA interactions with dsDNA.
Similar changes in DNA interactions were observed with a mutant form of RPA in
which the N-terminal domain of the 70-kDa subunit was deleted. This suggested
a functional link between the N-terminal domains of the 70- and 32-kDa
subunits of RPA. NMR experiments provided evidence for a direct interaction
between the N-terminal domain of the 70-kDa subunit and the negatively charged
N-terminal phosphorylation domain of RPA32. These findings suggest that
phosphorylation causes a conformational change in the RPA complex that
regulates RPA function.
