Abstract
The Mhr1 protein is necessary for mtDNA homologous recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Homologous pairing (HP) is an essential reaction during homologous recombination, and is generally catalyzed by the RecA/Rad51 family of proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. Mhr1 catalyzes HP through a mechanism similar, at the DNA level, to that of the RecA/Rad51 proteins, but without utilizing ATP. However, it has no sequence homology with the RecA/Rad51 family proteins or with other ATP-independent HP proteins, and exhibits different requirements for DNA topology. We are interested in the structural features of the functional domains of Mhr1. In this study, we employed the native fluorescence of Mhr1's Trp residues to examine the energy transfer from the Trp residues to etheno-modified ssDNA bound to Mhr1. Our results showed that two of the seven Trp residues (Trp71 and Trp165) are spatially close to the bound DNA. A systematic analysis of mutant Mhr1 proteins revealed that Asp69 is involved in Mg(2+)-dependent DNA binding, and that multiple Lys and Arg residues located around Trp71 and Trp165 are involved in the DNA-binding activity of Mhr1. In addition, in vivo complementation analyses showed that a region around Trp165 is important for the maintenance of mtDNA. On the basis of these results, we discuss the function of the region surrounding Trp165.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis, structures, and DNA incorporation of deoxyribonucleosides carrying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as the DNA "base" analogue. The new polycyclic compounds are 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, 9-phenanthrenyl, and 1-pyrenyl deoxynucleosides. The compounds are synthesized using a recently developed C-glycosidic bond formation method involving organocadmium derivatives of the aromatic compounds coupling with a 1α-chlorodeoxyribose precursor. The principal products of this coupling are the α-anomers of the deoxyribosides. An efficient method has also been developed for epimerization of the α-anomers to β-anomers by acid-catalyzed equilibration; this isomerization is successfully carried out on the four polycyclic nucleosides as well as two substituted phenyl nucleosides. The geometry of the anomeric substitution is derived from (1)H NOE experiments and is also correlated with a single-crystal X-ray structure of one α-isomer. Three of the polycyclic C-nucleoside derivatives are incorporated into DNA oligonucleotides via their phosphoramidite derivatives; the pyrenyl and phenanthrenyl derivatives are shown to be fluorescent in a DNA sequence. The results (1) broaden the scope of our C-glycoside coupling reaction, (2) demonstrate that (using a new acid-catalyzed epimerization) both α- and β-anomers are easily synthesized, and (3) constitute a new class of deoxynucleoside derivatives. Such nucleoside analogues may be useful as biophysical probes for the study of noncovalent interactions such as aromatic π-stacking in DNA. In addition, the fluorescence of the phenanthrene and pyrene nucleosides may make them especially useful as structural probes.

Abstract
To determine the role of the central aromatic residue in one of the DNA binding domains in Escherichia coli RecA protein, we have constructed a protein in which a tryptophan fluorescence reporter is inserted in the place of phenylalanine residue 203 in loop L2, a putative DNA binding site, and measured its fluorescence. The modified protein is active both in vivo and in vitro. The binding of nucleotide cofactor (ATP or its analog adenosine 5'-O-3-thiotriphosphate) does not modify the fluorescence. By contrast, the binding of DNA, both in the absence and presence of cofactor, strongly decreases the fluorescence in intensity (40-65%) and shifts the emission peak from 344 to 337 nm. The change occurs both with single- and double-stranded DNA and also upon the binding of a second single-stranded DNA. The results indicate that the residue 203 is in fact close to the first and second DNA binding sites. However, the quenching is not total and depends only slightly on the nature of DNA bases, thus suggesting an indirect interaction with DNA bases.

Abstract
Bacteriophage T4 gene 32 protein (g32P) is a DNA replication accessory protein that binds single-stranded (ss) nucleic acids nonspecifically, independent of nucleotide sequence. G32P contains 1 mol of Zn(II)/mol of protein monomer, which can be substituted with Co(II), with maintenance of the structure and activity of the molecule. The Co(II) is coordinated via approximately tetrahedral ligand symmetry by three Cys sulfur atoms and therefore exhibits intense S(-)----Co(II) ligand to metal charge-transfer (LMCT) transitions in the near ultraviolet [Giedroc, D. P., et al. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 83, 8452-8456]. A series of fluorescent 1,N6-ethenoadenosine (epsilon A)-containing oligonucleotides conforming to the structure (5'----3') d[(Tp)m epsilon A(pT)l-m-1] where 0 less than or equal to m less than or equal to l - 1 and length (l) six or eight nucleotides have been evaluated as dynamics probes and potential fluorescence energy transfer donors to Co(II) in mapping the spatial proximity of the (fixed) intrinsic metal ion and a variably positioned epsilon A-base in a series of protein-nucleic acid complexes. We provide spectroscopic evidence that the epsilon A-oligonucleotides bind to g32P-(A + B) with a fixed polarity of the phosphodiester chain. A Trp side chain(s) makes close approach to a epsilon A base positioned toward the 3' end of a bound l = 8 oligonucleotide. Six oligonucleotides of l = 8 and m = 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, or 7 were investigated as energy transfer donors to Co(II) at 0.1 M NaCl, pH 8.1, 25 degrees C upon binding to Co(II)-substituted or Zn(II) g32P-(A + B), i.e., in the presence and absence of an energy acceptor, respectively. Detectable quenching of the epsilon A-fluorescence by the Co(II)-LMCT acceptors was found to occur in all epsilon A-oligonucleotide-protein complexes, yielding energy transfer efficiencies (E) of 0.43, 0.31, 0.26, 0.26, 0.28, and 0.41 for l = 8 and m = 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 epsilon A-oligonucleotides, respectively. The two-dimensional distances R (in A) were found to vary as follows: d[epsilon A(pT)7] (m = 0), 16.0 (15.5-16.9); d[Tp epsilon A(pT)6] (m = 1), 17.7 (16.9-19.1); d[(Tp)3 epsilon A(pT)4] (m = 3), 20.7 (19.5-22.1); d[(Tp)5 epsilon A(pT)2] (m = 5), 20.5 (19.5-21.9); d[(Tp)6 epsilon ApT] (m = 6), 19.0 (18.0-20.4); and d[(Tp)7 epsilon A] (m = 7), 18.6 (17.8-19.8).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
A model for the structure of the complex between the helix-destabilizing protein of bacteriophage T4, GP32, and single-stranded DNA is proposed. In this model the bases are arranged in a helix, that is characterized by a relatively large distance between successive bases, a substantial base tilt, in combination with a small rotation per base. This helix is further organized into a tertiary structure, possibly a superhelix, of which the corresponding protein shell corresponds to the relatively rigid and rod-like structure that is observed in hydrodynamic experiments. It is proposed that similar structural features apply to other single-stranded DNA binding proteins in complex with polynucleotides.

Abstract
Limited digestion of E. coli DNA topoisomerase I with trypsin or papain generated a DNA-binding domain of MW 14,000 corresponding to the carboxyl terminal of the enzyme. This fragment binds to single-stranded DNA agarose as tightly as the intact enzyme. It required around 400 mM NaCl for elution. A truncated topoisomerase that lacks this C-terminal domain was purified. It was eluted from the single-stranded DNA agarose column at around 150 mM NaCl. Although the truncated enzyme could relax negatively supercoiled DNA as efficiently as the intact enzyme at low ionic strength, its processivity was more sensitive to increasing salt concentration. Measurement of binding to fluorescent etheno-M13 DNA also demonstrated that the presence of the C-terminal domain confers higher affinity to DNA for the enzyme.

Abstract
We performed linear dichroism measurements in compressed polyacrylamide gels on the complex between the helix-destabilizing protein of bacteriophage T4, GP32 and poly(1,N6-ethenoadenylic acid), which is used as a model system for single-stranded DNA. A strong hyperchromism for poly(1,N6-ethenoadenylic acid) in the complex indicates a strongly altered conformation. The positive linear dichroism in the wavelength region where the bases absorb must be explained by a strong tilting of the bases in the complex. This finding is in accordance with results from earlier studies, using electric birefringence and circular dichroism measurements. Our measurements show that the angle between the bases and the local helix axis is 42(+/- 6)degrees. In addition, a pronounced contribution from the tryptophan residues of GP32 can be recognized, indicating that several of these residues have a specific orientation in the complex. The sign of the dichroism due to the tryptophan residues is the same as that due to the DNA bases. However, it is not sufficient to assume that all the observed dichroism is due to one or more intercalated tryptophan residues and there must be one or more additional tryptophan residues that make an angle of less than 40 degrees with the local helix axis. Some possible structures of the DNA-protein complex are discussed.

Abstract
In this paper we examine the binding of Escherichia coli transcription termination factor rho to single-stranded RNA. Random polyribonucleotide copolymers containing low ratios of the fluorescent base 1,N6-ethenoadenosine have been synthesized using polynucleotide phosphorylase. Binding of rho to these polynucleotides elicits a significant increase in fluorescence, thus allowing either the direct monitoring of the titration of these polynucleotides with rho or measurement of the competitive displacement of the protein from these probes with other nucleic acids, even in the presence of biologically significant concentrations of ATP. By these techniques, it is shown that the binding site size (n) of rho protein to polynucleotides is 13(+/- 1) nucleotide residues per rho monomer (or 78(+/- 6) nucleotide residues per rho hexamer). Binding constants (K) and co-operativity parameters (omega) for the binding of rho to these polynucleotides have been measured as a function of nucleotide composition and of salt concentration. The results show that the affinity of rho for cytosine residues is quite strong and salt concentration independent, whilst binding to uridine residues is somewhat weaker and very salt concentration dependent. Poly(rC) and poly(dC) bind to rho competitively and with equal affinity and site size, although poly(rC) is the strongest cofactor for activating rho-dependent ATPase and poly(dC) has no ATPase cofactor activity at all. It is also shown that ATP (or ADP or ATP-gamma-S) binding does not change the binding site size of rho on RNA nor decrease its affinity for RNA binding. Circular dichroism measurements of rho binding to phage R17 RNA suggest that the affinity (K omega) of rho for RNA may be increased by ATP. The possible significance of these results for models of rho-dependent transcription termination is discussed in the companion paper.

Abstract
Complexes of poly(dT) with gene 32 protein from phage T4 or E. coli single-strand binding protein were digested by nuclease P1 from Penicillum citrinum. Protected fragments were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. In both cases, a series of bands was obtained corresponding to multiples of a repeat unit whose size was about 80 nucleotides. Such protected fragments could not be detected under the same experimental conditions when poly(dA) was used instead of poly(dT). The formation of nucleosome-like structures is discussed in relation to the higher affinity exhibited by single-strand binding proteins towards poly(dT).

Abstract
The binding of initiation Factor 3 (IF3) to poly (1,N6-ethenoadenylic acid) [poly(epsilon A)] was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. At low salt concentrations, IF3 evokes an increase in the fluorescence intensity of poly(epsilon A) due to the unstacking of the nucleotide bases. The poly(epsilon A) fluorescence enhancement titrates to an endpoint of 13 +/- 2 nucleotide residues per IF3. The maximum poly(epsilon A) fluorescence enhancement, at lattice saturation, decreases with increasing salt concentration. Even though IF3 does not produce a large fluorescence increase between 75 and 200 mM NaCl concentration, the protein still binds to poly(epsilon A) at these salt concentrations as measured by sedimentation partition chromatography; the value of Kobs for the IF3-poly(epsilon A) interaction is comparable to that of other synthetic polynucleotides. The binding of IF3 to poly(A) at 150 and 200 mM NaCl induces an increase in nucleotide base-base separation as determined by CD, yet IF3-induced disruption of base stacking of poly(epsilon A) at these same salt concentrations is not detected by fluorescence. It is likely that IF3 binds primarily to the phosphate backbone of poly(epsilon A) at low salt concentrations, producing an increase in the fluorescence intensity. But, at higher salt concentrations, the aromatic amino acids intercalate between the nucleotide bases quenching the poly(epsilon A) fluorescence.

Abstract
The translational diffusion coefficient of the saturated complex of single-stranded 145 base DNA and the helix-destabilizing protein of phage T4, GP32, can be measured at equilibrium by means of quasi-elastic light scattering. If the complex is considered as a rigid rod one can estimate its dimensions by combining the translational diffusion coefficient with earlier data on rotational diffusion. It was found that the average base-base distance of the 145 base DNA in the complex is between 4.3 and 4.7 A, while the diameter of the complex is between 44 and 68 A. This suggests that the conformation of the complex must be such that a large amount of water is trapped.

Abstract
In concentrated solutions, gene 32 single-stranded DNA binding protein from bacteriophage T4 (gene 32P) forms oligomers with long rotational correlation times, rendering 1H NMR signals from most of the protons too broad to be detected. Small flexible N- and C-terminal domains are present, however, the protons of which give rise to sharp resonances. If the C-terminal A domain (48 residues) and the N-terminal B domain (21 residues) are removed, the resultant core protein of 232 residues (gene 32P) retains high affinity for ssDNA and remains a monomer in concentrated solution, and most of the proton resonances of the core protein can now be observed. Proton NMR spectra (500 MHz) of gene 32P and its complexes with ApA, d(pA)n (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10), and d(pT)8 show that the resonances of a group of aromatic protons shift upfield upon oligonucleotide binding. Proton difference spectra show that the 1H resonances of at least one Phe, one Trp, and five Tyr residues are involved in the chemical shift changes observed with nucleotide binding. The number of aromatic protons involved and the magnitude of the shifts change with the length of the oligonucleotide until the shifts are only slightly different between the complexes with d(pA)8 and d(pA)10, suggesting that the binding groove accommodates approximately eight nucleotide bases. Many of the aromatic proton NMR shifts observed on oligonucleotide complex formation are similar to those observed for oligonucleotide complex formation with gene 5P of bacteriophage fd, although more aromatic residues are involved in the case of gene 32P.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
