Human replication protein A (RPA), composed of RPA70, RPA32, and RPA14 subunits, undergoes hyperphosphorylation in cells in response to DNA damage. Hyperphosphorylation that occurs predominately in the N-terminal region of RPA32 is believed to play a role in modulating the cellular activities of RPA essential for almost all DNA metabolic pathways. In order to understand how the hyperphosphorylation modulates the functions of RPA, we compared the structural characteristics of full length native and hyperphosphorylated RPAs using mass spectrometric protein foot-printing, fluorescence spectroscopy and limited proteolysis. Our mass spectrometric data showed that of 24 lysines and 18 arginines readily susceptible to small chemical reagent modification in native RPA, the three residues K343, R335 and R382 located in DNA binding domain B (DBD-B) of RPA70 were significantly shielded in the hyperphosphorylated protein. Tryptophan fluorescence studies indicated significant quenching of W361, located in the DBD-B domain, induced by hyperphosphorylation of RPA. Consistently, DBD-B became more resistant to the limited proteolysis by chymotrypsin after RPA hyperphosphorylation. Taken together, our results indicate that upon hyperphosphorylation of RPA32 N-terminus (RPA32N), RPA undergoes a conformational change involving the ssDNA binding cleft of DBD-B. Comparison of interactions of native and hyperphosphorylated RPAs with short single stranded oligonucleotides or partial DNA duplexes with a short 5 or 3 ssDNA tails showed reduced affinity for the latter protein. We propose that the hyperphosphorylation may play a role in modulating the cellular pathways by altering the DBD-B mediated RPA-DNA and RPA-protein interactions, hypothetically via the interaction of hyperphosphorylated RPA32N with DBD-B.
