HLTF (helicase-like transcription factor) is a yeast RAD5 homolog that is found in mammals. HLTF has E3 ubiquitin ligase and DNA helicase activities, and is a pivotal protein in template-switched DNA synthesis that allows DNA replication to continue even in the presence of DNA damage by utilizing a newly synthesized undamaged strand as a template. In addition, HLTF has a DNA-binding domain termed HIRAN (HIP116 and RAD5 N-terminal). HIRAN has been hypothesized to play a role in DNA binding; however, the structural basis of its role in DNA binding has remained unclear. In the past five years, several crystal structures of HIRAN have been reported. These structures revealed new insights into the molecular mechanism underlying DNA binding by HIRAN. Here, the structural information on HIRAN is summarized and the function of HIRAN in recognizing the 3′-terminus of the daughter strand at a stalled replication fork and the implications for its involvement in fork regression are discussed.

ABSTRACT We show here that the DNA helicase activity of the parvoviral initiator protein NS1 is highly directional, binding to the single strand at a recessed 5′ end and displacing the other strand while progressing in a 3′-to-5′ direction on the bound strand. NS1 and a cellular site-specific DNA binding factor, PIF, also known as glucocorticoid modulating element binding protein, bind to the left-end minimal replication origin of minute virus of mice, forming a ternary complex. In this complex, NS1 is activated to nick one DNA strand, becoming covalently attached to the 5′ end of the nick in the process and providing a 3′ OH for priming DNA synthesis. In this situation, the helicase activity of NS1 did not displace the nicked strand, but the origin duplex was distorted by the NS1-PIF complex, as assayed by its sensitivity to KMnO4 oxidation, and a stretch of about 14 nucleotides on both strands of the nicked origin underwent limited unwinding. Addition of Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) did not lead to further unwinding. However, addition of recombinant human single-stranded DNA binding protein (RPA) to the initiation reaction catalyzed extensive unwinding of the nicked origin, suggesting that RPA may be required to form a functional replication fork. Accordingly, the unwinding mediated by NS1 and RPA promoted processive leading-strand synthesis catalyzed by recombinant human DNA polymerase δ, PCNA, and RFC, using the minimal left-end origin cloned in a plasmid as a template. The requirement for RPA, rather than SSB, in the unwinding reaction indicated that specific NS1-RPA protein interactions were formed. NS1 was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for binding to two- or three-subunit RPA complexes expressed from recombinant baculoviruses. NS1 efficiently bound each of the baculovirus-expressed complexes, indicating that the small subunit of RPA is not involved in specific NS1 binding. No NS1 interactions were observed with E. coli SSB or other proteins included as controls.

ABSTRACT In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, postreplication repair (PRR) of UV-damaged DNA occurs by a Rad6-Rad18- and an Mms2-Ubc13-Rad5-dependent pathway or by a Rad52-dependent pathway. The Rad5 DNA helicase activity is specialized for promoting replication fork regression and template switching; previously, we suggested a role for the Rad5-dependent PRR pathway when the lesion is located on the leading strand and a role for the Rad52 pathway when the lesion is located on the lagging strand. In this study, we present evidence for the requirement of Nse1, a subunit of the Smc5-Smc6 complex, in Rad52-dependent PRR, and our genetic analyses suggest a role for the Nse1 and Mms21 E3 ligase activities associated with this complex in this repair mode. We discuss the possible ways by which the Smc5-Smc6 complex, including its associated ubiquitin ligase and SUMO ligase activities, might contribute to the Rad52-dependent nonrecombinational and recombinational modes of PRR.

AbstractThe yeast protein Rad5 and its orthologs in other eukaryotes promote replication stress tolerance and cell survival using their multiple activities, including ubiquitin ligase, replication fork remodeling and DNA lesion targeting activities. Here, we present the crystal structure of a nearly full-length Rad5 protein. The structure shows three distinct, but well-connected, domains required for Rad5’s activities. The spatial arrangement of these domains suggest that different domains can have autonomous activities but also undergo intrinsic coordination. Moreover, our structural, biochemical and cellular studies demonstrate that Rad5’s HIRAN domain mediates interactions with the DNA metabolism maestro factor PCNA and contributes to its poly-ubiquitination, binds to DNA and contributes to the Rad5-catalyzed replication fork regression, defining a new type of HIRAN domains with multiple activities. Our work provides a framework to understand how Rad5 integrates its various activities in replication stress tolerance.

Escherichia coli UvrD DNA helicase functions in several DNA repair processes. As a monomer, UvrD can translocate rapidly and processively along ssDNA; however, the monomer is a poor helicase. To unwind duplex DNA in vitro, UvrD needs to be activated either by self-assembly to form a dimer or by interaction with an accessory protein. However, the mechanism of activation is not understood. UvrD can exist in multiple conformations associated with the rotational conformational state of its 2B subdomain, and its helicase activity has been correlated with a closed 2B conformation. Using single-molecule total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, we examined the rotational conformational states of the 2B subdomain of fluorescently labeled UvrD and their rates of interconversion. We find that the 2B subdomain of the UvrD monomer can rotate between an open and closed conformation as well as two highly populated intermediate states. The binding of a DNA substrate shifts the 2B conformation of a labeled UvrD monomer to a more open state that shows no helicase activity. The binding of a second unlabeled UvrD shifts the 2B conformation of the labeled UvrD to a more closed state resulting in activation of helicase activity. Binding of a monomer of the structurally similar Escherichia coli Rep helicase does not elicit this effect. This indicates that the helicase activity of a UvrD dimer is promoted via direct interactions between UvrD subunits that affect the rotational conformational state of its 2B subdomain.

ABSTRACT Rrm3p is a 5′-to-3′ DNA helicase that helps replication forks traverse protein-DNA complexes. Its absence leads to increased fork stalling and breakage at over 1,000 specific sites located throughout the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome. To understand the mechanisms that respond to and repair rrm3-dependent lesions, we carried out a candidate gene deletion analysis to identify genes whose mutation conferred slow growth or lethality on rrm3 cells. Based on synthetic phenotypes, the intra-S-phase checkpoint, the SRS2 inhibitor of recombination, the SGS1/TOP3 replication fork restart pathway, and the MRE11/RAD50/XRS2 (MRX) complex were critical for viability of rrm3 cells. DNA damage checkpoint and homologous recombination genes were important for normal growth of rrm3 cells. However, the MUS81/MMS4 replication fork restart pathway did not affect growth of rrm3 cells. These data suggest a model in which the stalled and broken forks generated in rrm3 cells activate a checkpoint response that provides time for fork repair and restart. Stalled forks are converted by a Rad51p-mediated process to intermediates that are resolved by Sgs1p/Top3p. The rrm3 system provides a unique opportunity to learn the fate of forks whose progress is impaired by natural impediments rather than by exogenous DNA damage.
