The structure-specific recognition protein SSRP1 plays a role in transcription and replication in the chromatin context. Mediated by its C-terminal HMG-box domain, SSRP1 binds DNA non-sequence-specifically, but recognises certain DNA structures. Using acetic acid urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry we have examined the phosphorylation of maize SSRP1 by protein kinase CK2alpha . The kinase phosphorylated several amino acid residues in the C-terminal part of the SSRP1 protein. Two phosphorylation sites were mapped in the very C-terminal region next to the HMG-box domain and about seven sites are localised within the acidic domain. Circular dichroism showed that the phosphorylation of the two C-terminal sites by CK2alpha resulted in a structural change in the region of HMG-box domain, since the negative peak of the CD spectrum at 222 nm was decreased by ~10%. In parallel, the phosphorylation induced the recognition of UV-damaged DNA, whereas the non-phosphorylated protein does not discriminate UV-damaged DNA and control DNA. The affinity of CK2alpha -phosphorylated SSRP1 for the DNA correlates with the degree of UV-induced DNA damage. Moreover, maize SSRP1 can restore the increased UV-sensitivity of a yeast strain lacking the NHP6A/B HMG-domain proteins to levels of the control strain. Collectively, these findings indicate a role for SSRP1 in the UV response of eukaryotic cells.
