Abstract
DNA replication in Escherichia coli starts with loading of the replicative helicase, DnaB, onto DNA. This reaction requires the DnaC loader protein, which forms a 6:6 complex with DnaB and opens a channel in the DnaB hexamer through which single-stranded DNA is thought to pass. During replication, replisomes frequently encounter DNA damage and nucleoprotein complexes that can lead to replication fork collapse. Such events require DnaB re-loading onto DNA to allow replication to continue. Replication restart proteins mediate this process by recruiting DnaB6/DnaC6 to abandoned DNA replication forks. Several dnaC mutations that bypass the requirement for replication restart proteins or that block replication restart have been identified in E. coli. To better understand how these DnaC variants function, we have purified and characterized the protein products of several such alleles. Unlike wild-type DnaC, three of the variants (DnaC 809, DnaC 809,820, and DnaC 811) can load DnaB onto replication forks bound by single-stranded DNA-binding protein. DnaC 809 can also load DnaB onto double-stranded DNA. These results suggest that structural changes in the variant DnaB6/DnaC6 complexes expand the range of DNA substrates that can be used for DnaB loading, obviating the need for the existing replication restart pathways. The protein product of dnaC1331, which phenocopies deletion of the priB replication restart gene, blocks loading through the major restart pathway in vitro. Overall, the results of our study highlight the utility of bacterial DnaC variants as tools for probing the regulatory mechanisms that govern replicative helicase loading.

Abstract
Tetrameric single-stranded (ss) DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) stabilize ssDNA intermediates formed during genome maintenance reactions in Bacteria. SSBs also recruit proteins important for these processes through direct SSB-protein interactions, including proteins involved in DNA replication restart and recombination processes. SSBs are composed of an N-terminal oligomerization and ssDNA-binding domain, a C-terminal acidic tip that mediates SSB-protein interactions, and an internal intrinsically disordered linker (IDL). Deletions and insertions into the IDL are well tolerated with few phenotypes, although the largest deletions and insertions exhibit some sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. To define specific DNA metabolism processes dependent on IDL length, ssb mutants that lack 16, 26, 37, or 47 residues of the 57-residue IDL were tested for synthetic phenotypes with mutations in DNA replication restart or recombination genes. We also tested the impact of integrating a fluorescent domain within the SSB IDL using an ssb::mTur2 insertion mutation. Only the largest deletion tested or the insertion mutation causes sensitivity in any of the pathways. Mutations in two replication restart pathways (PriA-B1 and PriA-C) showed synthetic lethalities or small colony phenotypes with the largest deletion or insertion mutations. Recombination gene mutations del(recBCD) and del(ruvABC) show synthetic phenotypes only when combined with the largest ssb deletion. These results suggest that a minimum IDL length is important in some genome maintenance reactions in Escherichia coli. These include pathways involving PriA-PriB1, PriA-PriC, RecFOR, and RecG. The mTur2 insertion in the IDL may also affect SSB interactions in some processes, particularly the PriA-PriB1 and PriA-PriC replication restart pathways.IMPORTANCEssb is essential in Escherichia coli due to its roles in protecting ssDNA and coordinating genome maintenance events. While the DNA-binding core and acidic tip have well-characterized functions, the purpose of the intrinsically disordered linker (IDL) is poorly understood. In vitro studies have revealed that the IDL is important for cooperative ssDNA binding and phase separation. However, single-stranded (ss) DNA-binding protein (SSB) variants with large deletions and insertions in the IDL support normal cell growth. We find that the PriA-PriB1 and PriA-C replication restart, as well as the RecFOR- and RecG-dependent recombination, pathways are sensitive to IDL length. This suggests that cooperativity, phase separation, or a longer spacer between the core and acidic tip of SSB may be important for specific cellular functions.

Abstract
Bacterial replisomes often dissociate from replication forks before chromosomal replication is complete. To avoid the lethal consequences of such situations, bacteria have evolved replication restart pathways that reload replisomes onto prematurely terminated replication forks. To understand how the primary replication restart pathway in E. coli (PriA-PriB) selectively acts on replication forks, we determined the cryogenic-electron microscopy structure of a PriA/PriB/replication fork complex. Replication fork specificity arises from extensive PriA interactions with each arm of the branched DNA. These interactions reshape the PriA protein to create a pore encircling single-stranded lagging-strand DNA while also exposing a surface of PriA onto which PriB docks. Together with supporting biochemical and genetic studies, the structure reveals a switch-like mechanism for replication restart initiation in which restructuring of PriA directly couples replication fork recognition to PriA/PriB complex formation to ensure robust and high-fidelity replication re-initiation.

Abstract
Collisions between DNA replication complexes (replisomes) and impediments such as damaged DNA or proteins tightly bound to the chromosome lead to premature dissociation of replisomes at least once per cell cycle in Escherichia coli. Left unrepaired, these events produce incompletely replicated chromosomes that cannot be properly partitioned into daughter cells. DNA replication restart, the process that reloads replisomes at prematurely terminated sites, is therefore essential in E. coli and other bacteria. Three replication restart pathways have been identified in E. coli: PriA/PriB, PriA/PriC, and PriC/Rep. A limited number of genetic interactions between replication restart and other genome maintenance pathways have been defined, but a systematic study placing replication restart reactions in a broader cellular context has not been performed. We have utilized transposon-insertion sequencing to identify new genetic interactions between DNA replication restart pathways and other cellular systems. Known genetic interactors with the priB replication restart gene (uniquely involved in the PriA/PriB pathway) were confirmed and several novel priB interactions were discovered. Targeted genetic and imaging-based experiments with priB and its genetic partners revealed significant double-strand DNA break accumulation in strains with mutations in dam, rep, rdgC, lexA, or polA. Modulating the activity of the RecA recombinase partially suppressed the detrimental effects of rdgC or lexA mutations in ΔpriB cells. Taken together, our results highlight roles for several genes in double-strand DNA break homeostasis and define a genetic network that facilitates DNA repair/processing upstream of PriA/PriB-mediated DNA replication restart in E. coli.

Abstract
PriB is a primosomal protein required for the replication fork restart in bacteria. Although PriB shares structural similarity with SSB, they bind ssDNA differently. SSB consists of an N-terminal ssDNA-binding/oligomerization domain (SSBn) and a flexible C-terminal protein–protein interaction domain (SSBc). Apparently, the largest difference in structure between PriB and SSB is the lack of SSBc in PriB. In this study, we produced the chimeric PriB-SSBc protein in which Klebsiella pneumoniae PriB (KpPriB) was fused with SSBc of K. pneumoniae SSB (KpSSB) to characterize the possible SSBc effects on PriB function. The crystal structure of KpSSB was solved at a resolution of 2.3 Å (PDB entry 7F2N) and revealed a novel 114-GGRQ-117 motif in SSBc that pre-occupies and interacts with the ssDNA-binding sites (Asn14, Lys74, and Gln77) in SSBn. As compared with the ssDNA-binding properties of KpPriB, KpSSB, and PriB-SSBc, we observed that SSBc could significantly enhance the ssDNA-binding affinity of PriB, change the binding behavior, and further stimulate the PriA activity (an initiator protein in the pre-primosomal step of DNA replication), but not the oligomerization state, of PriB. Based on these experimental results, we discuss reasons why the properties of PriB can be retrofitted when fusing with SSBc.

Abstract
In Escherichia coli, PriA, PriB, PriC, and DnaT proteins mediate three pathways for Replication Restart called PriA-PriB, PriA-PriC, and PriC. PriA is crucial for two of the three pathways. Its absence leads to slow growth, high basal levels of SOS expression, poorly partitioning nucleoids, UV sensitivity, and recombination deficiency. PriA has ATPase and helicase activities and interacts with PriB, DnaT, and single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB). priA300 (K230R) and priA301 (C479Y) have no phenotype as single mutants, but each phenocopy a priA-null mutant combined with ∆priB. This suggested that the two priA mutations affected the helicase activity that is required for the PriA-PriC pathway. To further test this, the biochemical activities of purified PriA300 and PriA301 were examined. As expected, PriA300 lacks ATPase and helicase activities but retains the ability to interact with PriB. PriA301, however, retains significant PriB-stimulated helicase activity even though PriA301 interactions with PriB and DNA are weakened. A PriA300,301 variant retains only the ability to interact with DNA in vitro and phenocopies the priA-null phenotype in vivo. This suggests that there are two biochemically and genetically distinct PriA-PriB pathways. One uses PriB-stimulated helicase activity to free a region of ssDNA and the other uses helicase-independent remodeling activity.

Abstract
The DNA helicase PriA is a key protein for restarting stalled DNA replication forks in bacteria. With 3' to 5' helicase activity, PriA is important in primosome assembly. We used atomic force microscopy (AFM) and specifically employed time-lapse AFM to visualize the interaction of PriA with two DNA substrates. The results show that most of the PriA molecules are observed bound at the fork. However, PriA is capable of translocating over distances of about 400 bp. There is a preference for the long-range translocation of PriA depending on the fork type. For a fork with the nascent leading strand as single-stranded DNA (ssDNA; F4 substrate), PriA translocates preferentially on the parental arm of the fork. For the substrate F14, which contains an additional ssDNA segment between the parental and lagging arms (5 nt gap), PriA translocates on both the parental and lagging strand arms. These data suggest that transient formation of the single-stranded regions during the DNA replication can change the selection of the DNA duplex by PriA. Translocation of the helicase was directly visualized by time-lapse AFM imaging, which revealed that PriA can switch strands during translocation. These novel features of PriA shed new light on the mechanisms of PriA interaction with stalled replication forks.

Abstract
In Escherichia coli, DNA replication is restarted following DNA repair by the PriA-dependent pathway, in which the binding and dissociation of proteins such as PriA, PriB, and DnaT on ssDNA lead to the formation of a protein-DNA complex for recruiting the DnaB-DnaC replication protein complex. However, the structure of the PriB-DnaT complex, which is an essential step in the PriA-dependent pathway, remains elusive. In this study, the importance of His26 in PriB for replication restart was reconfirmed using plasmid complementation. Furthermore, we used NMR to examine the DnaT interaction sites on PriB. We also evaluated the PriB-DnaT peptide complex model, which was prepared by in silico docking, using molecular dynamic simulation. From these data, we propose a structural model that provides insight into the PriB-DnaT interaction.

Abstract
Escherichia coli PriA and PriC recognize abandoned replication forks and direct reloading of the DnaB replicative helicase onto the lagging-strand template coated with single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB). Both PriA and PriC have been shown by biochemical and structural studies to physically interact with the C terminus of SSB. In vitro, these interactions trigger remodeling of the SSB on ssDNA. priA341(R697A) and priC351(R155A) negated the SSB remodeling reaction in vitro Plasmid-carried priC351(R155A) did not complement priC303::kan, and priA341(R697A) has not yet been tested for complementation. Here, we further studied the SSB-binding pockets of PriA and PriC by placing priA341(R697A), priA344(R697E), priA345(Q701E), and priC351(R155A) on the chromosome and characterizing the mutant strains. All three priA mutants behaved like the wild type. In a ΔpriB strain, the mutations caused modest increases in SOS expression, cell size, and defects in nucleoid partitioning (Par-). Overproduction of SSB partially suppressed these phenotypes for priA341(R697A) and priA344(R697E). The priC351(R155A) mutant behaved as expected: there was no phenotype in a single mutant, and there were severe growth defects when this mutation was combined with ΔpriB Analysis of the priBC mutant revealed two populations of cells: those with wild-type phenotypes and those that were extremely filamentous and Par- and had high SOS expression. We conclude that in vivo, priC351(R155A) identified an essential residue and function for PriC, that PriA R697 and Q701 are important only in the absence of PriB, and that this region of the protein may have a complicated relationship with SSB.IMPORTANCE Escherichia coli PriA and PriC recruit the replication machinery to a collapsed replication fork after it is repaired and needs to be restarted. In vitro studies suggest that the C terminus of SSB interacts with certain residues in PriA and PriC to recruit those proteins to the repaired fork, where they help remodel it for restart. Here, we placed those mutations on the chromosome and tested the effect of mutating these residues in vivo The priC mutation completely abolished function. The priA mutations had no effect by themselves. They did, however, display modest phenotypes in a priB-null strain. These phenotypes were partially suppressed by SSB overproduction. These studies give us further insight into the reactions needed for replication restart.

Abstract
DNA helicases are motor proteins that couple the chemical energy of nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis to the mechanical functions required for DNA unwinding. Studies of several helicases have identified strand-separating "pin" structures that are positioned to intercept incoming dsDNA and promote strand separation during helicase translocation. However, pin structures vary among helicases and it remains unclear whether they confer a conserved unwinding mechanism. Here, we tested the biochemical and cellular roles of a putative pin element within the Escherichia coli PriA DNA helicase. PriA orchestrates replication restart in bacteria by unwinding the lagging-strand arm of abandoned DNA replication forks and reloading the replicative helicase with the help of protein partners that combine with PriA to form what is referred to as a primosome complex. Using in vitro protein-DNA cross-linking, we localized the putative pin (a β-hairpin within a zinc-binding domain in PriA) near the ssDNA-dsDNA junction of the lagging strand in a PriA-DNA replication fork complex. Removal of residues at the tip of the β-hairpin eliminated PriA DNA unwinding, interaction with the primosome protein PriB, and cellular function. We isolated a spontaneous intragenic suppressor mutant of the priA β-hairpin deletion mutant in which 22 codons around the deletion site were duplicated. This suppressor variant and an Ala-substituted β-hairpin PriA variant displayed wildtype levels of DNA unwinding and PriB binding in vitro These results suggest essential but sequence nonspecific roles for the PriA pin element and coupling of PriA DNA unwinding to its interaction with PriB.

Abstract
In all organisms, replication impairments are an important source of genome rearrangements, mainly because of the formation of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) ends at inactivated replication forks. Three reactions for the formation of dsDNA ends at replication forks were originally described for Escherichia coli and became seminal models for all organisms: the encounter of replication forks with preexisting single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) interruptions, replication fork reversal, and head-to-tail collisions of successive replication rounds. Here, we first review the experimental evidence that now allows us to know when, where, and how these three different reactions occur in E. coli. Next, we recall our recent studies showing that in wild-type E. coli, spontaneous replication fork breakage occurs in 18% of cells at each generation. We propose that it results from the replication of preexisting nicks or gaps, since it does not involve replication fork reversal or head-to-tail fork collisions. In the recB mutant, deficient for double-strand break (DSB) repair, fork breakage triggers DSBs in the chromosome terminus during cell division, a reaction that is heritable for several generations. Finally, we recapitulate several observations suggesting that restart from intact inactivated replication forks and restart from recombination intermediates require different sets of enzymatic activities. The finding that 18% of cells suffer replication fork breakage suggests that DNA remains intact at most inactivated forks. Similarly, only 18% of cells need the helicase loader for replication restart, which leads us to speculate that the replicative helicase remains on DNA at intact inactivated replication forks and is reactivated by the replication restart proteins.

Abstract
Multi-protein DNA replication complexes called replisomes perform the essential process of copying cellular genetic information prior to cell division. Under ideal conditions, replisomes dissociate only after the entire genome has been duplicated. However, DNA replication rarely occurs without interruptions that can dislodge replisomes from DNA. Such events produce incompletely replicated chromosomes that, if left unrepaired, prevent the segregation of full genomes to daughter cells. To mitigate this threat, cells have evolved 'DNA replication restart' pathways that have been best defined in bacteria. Replication restart requires recognition and remodeling of abandoned replication forks by DNA replication restart proteins followed by reloading of the replicative DNA helicase, which subsequently directs assembly of the remaining replisome subunits. This review summarizes our current understanding of the mechanisms underlying replication restart and the proteins that drive the process in Escherichia coli (PriA, PriB, PriC and DnaT).

A priA Mutant Expressed in Two Pieces Has Almost Full Activity in Escherichia coli K-12. J Bacteriol 2017; 199:JB.00267-17.

Abstract
The ability to restart broken DNA replication forks is essential across all domains of life. In Escherichia coli, the priA, priB, priC, and dnaT genes encode the replication restart proteins (RRPs) to accomplish this task. PriA plays a critical role in replication restart such that its absence reveals a dramatic phenotype: poor growth, high basal levels of SOS expression, poorly partitioned nucleoids (Par-), UV sensitivity, and recombination deficiency (Rec-). PriA has 733 amino acids, and its structure is composed of six domains that enable it to bind to DNA replication fork-like structures, remodel the strands of DNA, interact with SSB (single-stranded DNA binding protein), PriB, and DnaT, and display ATPase, helicase, and translocase activities. We have characterized a new priA mutation called priA316::cat It is a composite mutation involving an insertion that truncates the protein within the winged-helix domain (at the 154th codon) and an ACG (Thr)-to-ATG (Met) mutation that allows reinitiation of translation at the 157th codon such that PriA is expressed in two pieces. priA316::cat phenotypes are like those of the wild type for growth, recombination, and UV resistance, revealing only a slightly increased level of SOS expression and defects in nucleoid partitioning in the mutant. Both parts of PriA are required for activity, and the N-terminal fragment can be optimized to yield wild-type activity. A deletion of the lon protease suppresses priA316::cat phenotypes. We hypothesize the two parts of PriA form a complex that supplies most of the PriA activity needed in the cell.IMPORTANCE PriA is a highly conserved multifunctional protein that plays a crucial role in the essential process of replication restart. Here we characterize an insertion mutation of priA with an intragenic suppressor such that it is now made in two parts. These two pieces split the winged-helix domain to separate the N-terminal 3' DNA-binding domain from the C-terminal domain of PriA. It is hypothesized that the two pieces form a complex that is capable of almost wild type priA function. The composite mutation leads to a moderate level of SOS expression and defects in partitioning of the chromosomes. Full function is restored by deletion of lon, suggesting that stability of this complex may be a reason for the partial phenotypes seen.

Abstract
In bacteria, replication forks assembled at a replication origin travel to the terminus, often a few megabases away. They may encounter obstacles that trigger replisome disassembly, rendering replication restart from abandoned forks crucial for cell viability. During the past 25 years, the genes that encode replication restart proteins have been identified and genetically characterized. In parallel, the enzymes were purified and analyzed in vitro, where they can catalyze replication initiation in a sequence-independent manner from fork-like DNA structures. This work also revealed a close link between replication and homologous recombination, as replication restart from recombination intermediates is an essential step of DNA double-strand break repair in bacteria and, conversely, arrested replication forks can be acted upon by recombination proteins and converted into various recombination substrates. In this review, we summarize this intense period of research that led to the characterization of the ubiquitous replication restart protein PriA and its partners, to the definition of several replication restart pathways in vivo, and to the description of tight links between replication and homologous recombination, responsible for the importance of replication restart in the maintenance of genome stability.

Abstract
The canonical model of DNA replication describes a highly-processive and largely continuous process by which the genome is duplicated. This continuous model is based upon in vitro reconstitution and in vivo ensemble experiments. Here, we characterize the replisome-complex stoichiometry and dynamics with single-molecule resolution in bacterial cells. Strikingly, the stoichiometries of the replicative helicase, DNA polymerase, and clamp loader complexes are consistent with the presence of only one active replisome in a significant fraction of cells (>40%). Furthermore, many of the observed complexes have short lifetimes (<8 min), suggesting that replisome disassembly is quite prevalent, possibly occurring several times per cell cycle. The instability of the replisome complex is conflict-induced: transcription inhibition stabilizes these complexes, restoring the second replisome in many of the cells. Our results suggest that, in contrast to the canonical model, DNA replication is a largely discontinuous process in vivo due to pervasive replication-transcription conflicts.

Abstract
Replication of chromosomal DNA must be carried out to completion in order for a cell to proliferate. However, replication forks can stall during this process for a variety of reasons, including nucleoprotein 'roadblocks' and DNA lesions. In these circumstances the replisome copying the DNA may disengage from the chromosome to allow various repair processes to restore DNA integrity and enable replication to continue. Here, we report the in vivo stability of the replication fork when it encounters a nucleoprotein blockage in Escherichia coli. Using a site-specific and reversible protein block system in conjunction with the temperature sensitive DnaC helicase loader and DnaB replicative helicase, we monitored the disappearance of the Y-shaped DNA replication fork structures using neutral-neutral 2D agarose gels. We show the replication fork collapses within 5 min of encountering the roadblock. Therefore, the stalled replication fork does not pause at a block in a stable confirmation for an extended period of time as previously postulated.

Abstract
Replicative helicases play central roles in chromosome duplication and their assembly onto DNA is regulated via initiators and helicase loader proteins. The Escherichia coli replicative helicase DnaB and the helicase loader DnaC form a DnaB6–DnaC6 complex that is required for loading DnaB onto single-stranded DNA. Overexpression of dnaC inhibits replication by promoting continual rebinding of DnaC to DnaB and consequent prevention of helicase translocation. Here we show that overexpression of dnaB also inhibits growth and chromosome duplication. This inhibition is countered by co-overexpression of wild-type DnaC but not of a DnaC mutant that cannot interact with DnaB, indicating that a reduction in DnaB6–DnaC6 concentration is responsible for the phenotypes associated with elevated DnaB concentration. Partial defects in the oriC-specific initiator DnaA and in PriA-specific initiation away from oriC during replication repair sensitise cells to dnaB overexpression. Absence of the accessory replicative helicase Rep, resulting in increased replication blockage and thus increased reinitiation away from oriC, also exacerbates DnaB-induced defects. These findings indicate that elevated levels of helicase perturb replication initiation not only at origins of replication but also during fork repair at other sites on the chromosome. Thus, imbalances in levels of the replicative helicase and helicase loader can inhibit replication both via inhibition of DnaB6–DnaC6 complex formation with excess DnaB, as shown here, and promotion of formation of DnaB6–DnaC6 complexes with excess DnaC [Allen GC, Jr., Kornberg A. Fine balance in the regulation of DnaB helicase by DnaC protein in replication in Escherichia coli. J. Biol. Chem. 1991;266:22096–22101; Skarstad K, Wold S. The speed of the Escherichia coli fork in vivo depends on the DnaB:DnaC ratio. Mol. Microbiol. 1995;17:825–831]. Thus, there are two mechanisms by which an imbalance in the replicative helicase and its associated loader protein can inhibit genome duplication. Loading of the replicative helicase is the key step in replisome assembly. Increasing replicative helicase concentration in E. coli inhibits growth. Inhibition is due to helicase complexes depleted of the helicase loader protein. Depletion inhibits replication initiation and reinitiation during replication repair. Imbalances in replicative helicase components can prevent replication initiation.

Abstract
Arrest of replication fork progression is one of the most common causes for increasing the genomic instability. In bacteria, PriA, a conserved DEXH-type helicase, plays a major role in recognition of the stalled forks and restart of DNA replication. We took advantage of PriA's ability to specifically recognize stalled replication forks to determine the genomic loci where replication forks are prone to stall on the Escherichia coli genome. We found that PriA binds around oriC upon thymine starvation which reduces the nucleotide supply and causes replication fork stalling. PriA binding quickly disappeared upon readdition of thymine. Furthermore, BrdU was incorporated at around oriC upon release from thymine starvation. Our results indicate that reduced supply of DNA replication precursors causes replication fork stalling preferentially in the 600 kb segment centered at oriC. This suggests that replication of the vicinity of oriC requires higher level of nucleotide precursors. The results also point to a possibility of slow fork movement and/or the presence of multiple fork arrest signals within this segment. Indeed, we have identified rather strong fork stall/pausing signals symmetrically located at ∼50 kb away from oriC. We speculate that replication pausing and fork-slow-down shortly after initiation may represent a novel checkpoint that ensures the presence of sufficient nucleotide supply prior to commitment to duplication of the entire genome.

Abstract
Replication restart primosome is a complex dynamic system that is essential for bacterial survival. This system uses various proteins to reinitiate chromosomal DNA replication to maintain genetic integrity after DNA damage. The replication restart primosome in Escherichia coli is composed of PriA helicase, PriB, PriC, DnaT, DnaC, DnaB helicase, and DnaG primase. The assembly of the protein complexes within the forked DNA responsible for reloading the replicative DnaB helicase anywhere on the chromosome for genome duplication requires the coordination of transient biomolecular interactions. Over the last decade, investigations on the structure and mechanism of these nucleoproteins have provided considerable insight into primosome assembly. In this review, we summarize and discuss our current knowledge and recent advances on the DNA-binding mode of the primosomal proteins PriA, PriB, and DnaT.

Abstract
When Escherichia coli grows in the presence of DNA-damaging agents such as methyl methanesulphonate (MMS), absence of the full-length form of Translation Initiation Factor 2 (IF2-1) or deficiency in helicase activity of replication restart protein PriA leads to a considerable loss of viability. MMS sensitivity of these mutants was contingent on the stringent response alarmone (p)ppGpp being at low levels. While zero levels (ppGpp°) greatly aggravated sensitivity, high levels promoted resistance. Moreover, M+ mutations, which suppress amino acid auxotrophy of ppGpp° strains and which have been found to map to RNA polymerase subunits, largely restored resistance to IF2-1- and PriA helicase-deficient mutants. The truncated forms IF2-2/3 played a key part in inducing especially severe negative effects in ppGpp° cells when restart function priB was knocked out, causing loss of viability and severe cell filamentation, indicative of SOS induction. Even a strain with the wild-type infB allele exhibited significant filamentation and MMS sensitivity in this background whereas mutations that prevent expression of IF2-2/3 essentially eliminated filamentation and largely restored MMS resistance. The results suggest different influences of IF2-1 and IF2-2/3 on the replication restart system depending on (p)ppGpp levels, each having the capacity to maximize survival under differing growth conditions.

Abstract
Detection and repair of DNA damage is essential in all organisms and depends on the ability of proteins recognizing and processing specific DNA substrates. In E. coli, the RecA protein forms a filament on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) produced by DNA damage and induces the SOS response. Previous work has shown that one type of recA mutation (e.g., recA4162 (I298V)) and one type of uvrD mutation (e.g., uvrD303 (D403A, D404A)) can differentially decrease SOS expression depending on the type of inducing treatments (UV damage versus RecA mutants that constitutively express SOS). Here it is tested using other SOS inducing conditions if there is a general feature of ssDNA generated during these treatments that allows recA4162 and uvrD303 to decrease SOS expression. The SOS inducing conditions tested include growing cells containing temperature-sensitive DNA replication mutations (dnaE486, dnaG2903, dnaN159, dnaZ2016 (at 37°C)), a del(polA)501 mutation and induction of Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs). uvrD303 could decrease SOS expression under all conditions, while recA4162 could decrease SOS expression under all conditions except in the polA strain or when DSBs occur. It is hypothesized that recA4162 suppresses SOS expression best when the ssDNA occurs at a gap and that uvrD303 is able to decrease SOS expression when the ssDNA is either at a gap or when it is generated at a DSB (but does so better at a gap).

Abstract
In eubacterial organisms, the oriC-independent primosome plays an essential role in replication restart after the dissociation of the replication DNA-protein complex by DNA damage. PriC is a key protein component in the replication restart primosome. Our recent study suggested that PriC is divided into two domains: an N-terminal and a C-terminal domain. In the present study, we determined the solution structure of the N-terminal domain, whose structure and function have remained unknown until now. The revealed structure was composed of three helices and one extended loop. We also observed chemical shift changes in the heteronuclear NMR spectrum and oligomerization in the presence of ssDNA. These abilities may contribute to the PriC-ssDNA complex, which is important for the replication restart primosome.

Abstract
In Escherichia coli the oriC-independent primosome plays an essential role in replication restart after dissociation of the replication DNA-protein complex by DNA damage. Primosome is thought to form via two pathways: one PriA dependent and the other PriA independent. PriC is a key protein in the replication restart of the PriA-independent pathway. In this study, we determined that PriC was divided into two domains. Then, we obtained information that: (i) the C-terminal domain preferentially binds to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA); (ii) the binding of PriC to ssDNA depends on salt concentration; and (iii) the binding site size of PriC is approximately 7-9 nucleotides. The protease digestion of PriC suggested that a possible DNA-binding site is the N-terminus of the C-terminal domain where basic amino acid residues are concentrated. Interestingly, α-helical induction of the C-terminal domain of PriC occurred after the addition of DNAs. Also, we examined the role of heptad repeat of leucine or valine residues in the C-terminal domain and PriC oligomerization. This study describes the structure and function analysis of PriC which forms the primosome complex in replication restart.

Abstract
Frequent collisions between cellular DNA replication complexes (replisomes) and obstacles such as damaged DNA or frozen protein complexes make DNA replication fork progression surprisingly sporadic. These collisions can lead to the ejection of replisomes prior to completion of replication, which, if left unrepaired, results in bacterial cell death. As such, bacteria have evolved DNA replication restart mechanisms that function to reload replisomes onto abandoned DNA replication forks. Here, we define a direct interaction between PriC, a key Escherichia coli DNA replication restart protein, and the single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB), a protein that is ubiquitously associated with DNA replication forks. PriC/SSB complex formation requires evolutionarily conserved residues from both proteins, including a pair of Arg residues from PriC and the C terminus of SSB. In vitro, disruption of the PriC/SSB interface by sequence changes in either protein blocks the first step of DNA replication restart, reloading of the replicative DnaB helicase onto an abandoned replication fork. Consistent with the critical role of PriC/SSB complex formation in DNA replication restart, PriC variants that cannot bind SSB are non-functional in vivo. Single-molecule experiments demonstrate that PriC binding to SSB alters SSB/DNA complexes, exposing single-stranded DNA and creating a platform for other proteins to bind. These data lead to a model in which PriC interaction with SSB remodels SSB/DNA structures at abandoned DNA replication forks to create a DNA structure that is competent for DnaB loading.

Abstract
Mobile group II introns retrohome by an RNP-based mechanism in which the intron RNA reverse splices into a DNA site and is reverse transcribed by the associated intron-encoded protein. The resulting intron cDNA is then integrated into the genome by cellular mechanisms that have remained unclear. Here, we used an Escherichia coli genetic screen and Taqman qPCR assay that mitigate indirect effects to identify host factors that function in retrohoming. We then analyzed mutants identified in these and previous genetic screens by using a new biochemical assay that combines group II intron RNPs with cellular extracts to reconstitute the complete retrohoming reaction in vitro. The genetic and biochemical analyses indicate a retrohoming pathway involving degradation of the intron RNA template by a host RNase H and second-strand DNA synthesis by the host replicative DNA polymerase. Our results reveal ATP-dependent steps in both cDNA and second-strand synthesis and a surprising role for replication restart proteins in initiating second-strand synthesis in the absence of DNA replication. We also find an unsuspected requirement for host factors in initiating reverse transcription and a new RNA degradation pathway that suppresses retrohoming. Key features of the retrohoming mechanism may be used by human LINEs and other non-LTR-retrotransposons, which are related evolutionarily to mobile group II introns. Our findings highlight a new role for replication restart proteins, which function not only to repair DNA damage caused by mobile element insertion, but have also been co-opted to become an integral part of the group II intron retrohoming mechanism. Mobile group II introns are bacterial retrotransposons that are evolutionarily related to introns and retroelements in higher organisms. They spread within and between genomes by a mechanism termed “retrohoming” in which the intron RNA inserts directly into a DNA site and is reverse transcribed by an intron-encoded reverse transcriptase. The resulting intron cDNA is integrated into the genome by host factors, but how it occurs has remained unclear. Here, we investigated the function of host factors in retrohoming by genetic and biochemical approaches, including a new biochemical assay that reconstitutes the complete retrohoming reaction in vitro. Our results lead to a comprehensive model for retrohoming, which includes a surprising role for replication restart proteins in recruiting the host replicative DNA polymerase to copy the intron cDNA into the genome in the absence of DNA replication. We also find an unexpected contribution of host factors to initiating reverse transcription and a new RNA degradation pathway that suppresses retrohoming. We suggest that key features of the group II intron retrohoming mechanism may be used by human LINE elements and other non-LTR-retrotransposons. Additionally, our results provide new insights into the function of replication restart proteins, which are critical for surviving DNA damage in all organisms.

Abstract
Helicases are fundamental components of all replication complexes since unwinding of the double-stranded template to generate single-stranded DNA is essential to direct DNA synthesis by polymerases. However, helicases are also required in many other steps of DNA replication. Replicative helicases not only unwind the template DNA but also play key roles in regulating priming of DNA synthesis and coordination of leading and lagging strand DNA polymerases. Accessory helicases also aid replicative helicases in unwinding of the template strands in the presence of proteins bound to the DNA, minimising the risks posed by nucleoprotein complexes to continued fork movement. Helicases also play critical roles in Okazaki fragment processing in eukaryotes and may also be needed to minimise topological problems when replication forks converge. Thus fork movement, coordination of DNA synthesis, lagging strand maturation and termination of replication all depend on helicases. Moreover, if disaster strikes and a replication fork breaks down then reloading of the replication machinery is effected by helicases, at least in bacteria. This chapter describes how helicases function in these multiple steps at the fork and how DNA unwinding is coordinated with other catalytic processes to ensure efficient, high fidelity duplication of the genetic material in all organisms.

Abstract
The PriA protein serves as an initiator for the restart of DNA replication on stalled replication forks and as a checkpoint protein that prevents the replicase from advancing in a strand displacement reaction on forks that do not contain a functional replicative helicase. We have developed a primosomal protein-dependent fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay using a minimal fork substrate composed of synthetic oligonucleotides. We demonstrate that a self-loading reaction, which proceeds at high helicase concentrations, occurs by threading of a preassembled helicase over free 5'-ends, an event that can be blocked by attaching a steric block to the 5'-end or coating DNA with single-stranded DNA binding protein. The specificity of PriA for replication forks is regulated by its intrinsic ATPase. ATPase-defective PriA K230R shows a strong preference for substrates that contain no gap between the leading strand and the duplex portion of the fork, as demonstrated previously. Wild-type PriA prefers substrates with larger gaps, showing maximal activity on substrates on which PriA K230R is inactive. We demonstrate that PriA blocks replicase function on forks by blocking its binding.

Abstract
PriA helicase catalyzes the initial steps of replisome reloading onto repaired DNA replication forks in bacterial DNA replication restart pathways. We have used a high-throughput screen to identify a small molecule inhibitor of PriA-catalyzed duplex DNA unwinding. The compound, CGS 15943, targets Neisseria gonorrhoeae PriA helicase with an IC(50) of 114 ± 24 μM. The PriA helicase of Escherichia coli is also inhibited, although to a lesser extent than N. gonorrhoeae PriA. CGS 15943 decreases rates of PriA-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis and reduces the affinity with which PriA binds DNA. Steady-state kinetic data indicate that CGS 15943 inhibits PriA through a mixed mode of inhibition with respect to ATP and with respect to DNA, indicating that it binds to a site on PriA that participates in both substrate binding and catalysis. Inhibitor binding constants derived from steady-state kinetic experiments reveal that CGS 15943 has the highest binding affinity for the PriA·PriB·ATP complex, intermediate binding affinity for the PriA·PriB·DNA complex, and the lowest binding affinity for the PriA·PriB·DNA·ATP complex, suggesting that PriA assumes different conformations in each of these complexes. We propose that CGS 15943 binds to PriA at a site distinct from the DNA and primary ATP binding sites, perhaps at PriA's weak nucleotide binding site, and induces a conformational change in PriA that renders it less catalytically proficient or prevents conformational changes in PriA that are necessary for ATP hydrolysis and duplex DNA unwinding.

Abstract
RecG is a DNA translocase that helps to maintain genomic integrity. Initial studies suggested a role in promoting recombination, a possibility consistent with synergism between recG and ruv null alleles and reinforced when the protein was shown to unwind Holliday junctions. In this article we describe novel suppressors of recG and show that the pathology seen without RecG is suppressed on reducing or eliminating PriB, a component of the PriA system for replisome assembly and replication restart. Suppression is conditional, depending on additional mutations that modify ribosomal subunit S6 or one of three subunits of RNA polymerase. The latter suppress phenotypes associated with deletion of priB, enabling the deletion to suppress recG. They include alleles likely to disrupt interactions with transcription anti-terminator, NusA. Deleting priB has a different effect in ruv strains. It provokes abortive recombination and compromises DNA repair in a manner consistent with PriB being required to limit exposure of recombinogenic ssDNA. This synergism is reduced by the RNA polymerase mutations identified. Taken together, the results reveal that RecG curbs a potentially negative effect of proteins that direct replication fork assembly at sites removed from the normal origin, a facility needed to resolve conflicts between replication and transcription.

Abstract
Following arrest by UV-induced DNA damage, replication is restored through a sequence of steps that involve partial resection of the nascent DNA by RecJ and RecQ, branch migration and processing of the fork DNA surrounding the lesion by RecA and RecF-O-R, and resumption of DNA synthesis once the blocking lesion has been repaired or bypassed. In vitro, the primosomal proteins (PriA, PriB, and PriC) and Rep are capable of initiating replication from synthetic DNA fork structures, and they have been proposed to catalyze these events when replication is disrupted by certain impediments in vivo. Here, we characterized the role that PriA, PriB, PriC, and Rep have in processing and restoring replication forks following arrest by UV-induced DNA damage. We show that the partial degradation and processing of the arrested replication fork occurs normally in both rep and primosome mutants. In each mutant, the nascent degradation ceases and DNA synthesis initially resumes in a timely manner, but the recovery then stalls in the absence of PriA, PriB, or Rep. The results demonstrate a role for the primosome and Rep helicase in overcoming replication forks arrested by UV-induced damage in vivo and suggest that these proteins are required for the stability and efficiency of the replisome when DNA synthesis resumes but not to initiate de novo replication downstream of the lesion.

Abstract
Escherichia coli translation initiation factor 2 (IF2) performs the unexpected function of promoting transition from recombination to replication during bacteriophage Mu transposition in vitro, leading to initiation by replication restart proteins. This function has suggested a role of IF2 in engaging cellular restart mechanisms and regulating the maintenance of genome integrity. To examine the potential effect of IF2 on restart mechanisms, we characterized its influence on cellular recovery following DNA damage by methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and UV damage. Mutations that prevent expression of full-length IF2-1 or truncated IF2-2 and IF2-3 isoforms affected cellular growth or recovery following DNA damage differently, influencing different restart mechanisms. A deletion mutant (del1) expressing only IF2-2/3 was severely sensitive to growth in the presence of DNA-damaging agent MMS. Proficient as wild type in repairing DNA lesions and promoting replication restart upon removal of MMS, this mutant was nevertheless unable to sustain cell growth in the presence of MMS; however, growth in MMS could be partly restored by disruption of sulA, which encodes a cell division inhibitor induced during replication fork arrest. Moreover, such characteristics of del1 MMS sensitivity were shared by restart mutant priA300, which encodes a helicase-deficient restart protein. Epistasis analysis indicated that del1 in combination with priA300 had no further effects on cellular recovery from MMS and UV treatment; however, the del2/3 mutation, which allows expression of only IF2-1, synergistically increased UV sensitivity in combination with priA300. The results indicate that full-length IF2, in a function distinct from truncated forms, influences the engagement or activity of restart functions dependent on PriA helicase, allowing cellular growth when a DNA–damaging agent is present. Translation Initiation Factor 2 (IF2) is a bacterial protein that plays an essential role in the initiation of protein synthesis. As such, it not only has an important influence on cellular growth but also is subject to regulation in response to physiological conditions such as nutritional deprivation. Biochemical characterization of IF2's function in replicating movable genetic elements has suggested a new role in the maintenance of genome integrity, potentially regulating replication restart. The parasitic elements exploit the cellular replication restart system to duplicate themselves as they transpose to new positions of the chromosome. In this process, IF2 makes way for action of restart proteins, which assemble replication enzymes for initiation of DNA synthesis. For the bacterial cell, the restart system is the means by which it copes with accidents that result in arrest of chromosomal replication, promoting resumption of replication. We present evidence for an IF2 function associated with restart proteins, allowing chromosomal replication in the presence of DNA–damaging agents. As the IF2 function is a highly conserved one found in all organisms, the findings have implications for understanding the maintenance of genome integrity with respect to physiological status, which can be sensed by the translation apparatus.

Abstract
Mu is both a transposable element and a temperate bacteriophage. During lytic growth, it amplifies its genome by replicative transposition. During infection, it integrates into the Escherichia coli chromosome through a mechanism not requiring extensive DNA replication. In the latter pathway, the transposition intermediate is repaired by transposase-mediated resecting of the 5′ flaps attached to the ends of the incoming Mu genome, followed by filling the remaining 5 bp gaps at each end of the Mu insertion. It is widely assumed that the gaps are repaired by a gap-filling host polymerase. Using the E. coli Keio Collection to screen for mutants defective in recovery of stable Mu insertions, we show in this study that the gaps are repaired by the machinery responsible for the repair of double-strand breaks in E. coli—the replication restart proteins PriA-DnaT and homologous recombination proteins RecABC. We discuss alternate models for recombinational repair of the Mu gaps. Transposon activity shapes genome structure and evolution. The movement of these elements generates target site duplications as a result of staggered cuts in the target made initially by the transposase. For replicative transposons, the single-stranded gaps generated after the initial strand transfer event are filled by target-primed replication. However, the majority of known transposable elements transpose by a non-replicative mechanism. Despite a wealth of information available for the mechanism of transposase action, little is known about how the cell repairs gaps left in the wake of transposition of these majority elements. Phage Mu is unique in using both replicative and non-replicative modes of transposition. Our study finds that during its non-replicative pathway, the gaps created by Mu insertion are repaired by the primary machinery for double-strand break repair in E. coli, not by gap-filling polymerases as previously thought. This first report of specific host processes involved in repair of transposon insertions in bacteria is likely to have a broad significance, given also that double-strand break repair pathways have been implicated in repair of the retroviral and Line retroelement insertions.

Abstract
The initiation of viral double stranded (ds) DNA replication involves proteins that recruit and load the replisome at the replication origin (ori). Any block in replication fork progression or a programmed barrier may act as a factor for ori-independent remodelling and assembly of a new replisome at the stalled fork. Then replication initiation becomes dependent on recombination proteins, a process called recombination-dependent replication (RDR). RDR, which is recognized as being important for replication restart and stability in all living organisms, plays an essential role in the replication cycle of many dsDNA viruses. The SPP1 virus, which infects Bacillus subtilis cells, serves as a paradigm to understand the links between replication and recombination in circular dsDNA viruses. SPP1-encoded initiator and replisome assembly proteins control the onset of viral replication and direct the recruitment of host-encoded replisomal components at viral oriL. SPP1 uses replication fork reactivation to switch from ori-dependent θ-type (circle-to-circle) replication to σ-type RDR. Replication fork arrest leads to a double strand break that is processed by viral-encoded factors to generate a D-loop into which a new replisome is assembled, leading to σ-type viral replication. SPP1 RDR proteins are compared with similar proteins encoded by other viruses and their possible in vivo roles are discussed.

Abstract
The DNA-binding protein RdgC has been identified as an inhibitor of RecA-mediated homologous recombination in Escherichia coli. In Neisseria species, RdgC also has a role in virulence-associated antigenic variation. We have previously solved the crystal structure of the E. coli RdgC protein and shown it to form a toroidal dimer. In this study, we have conducted a mutational analysis of residues proposed to mediate interactions at the dimer interfaces. We demonstrate that destabilizing either interface has a serious effect on in vivo function, even though a stable complex with circular DNA was still observed. We conclude that tight binding is required for inhibition of RecA activity. We also investigated the role of the RdgC finger domain, and demonstrate that it plays a crucial role in the binding of circular DNA. Together, these data allow us to propose a model for how RdgC loads onto DNA. We discuss how RdgC might inhibit RecA-mediated strand exchange, and how RdgC might be displaced by other DNA metabolism enzymes such as polymerases and helicases.

Abstract
PriA, a 3'-->5' superfamily 2 DNA helicase, acts to remodel stalled replication forks and as a specificity factor for origin-independent assembly of a new replisome at the stalled fork. The ability of PriA to initiate replication at stalled forked structures ensures complete genome replication and helps to protect the cell from illegitimate recombination events. This review focuses on the activities of PriA and its role in replication fork assembly and maintaining genomic integrity.

Abstract
Very high-throughput sequencing technologies need to be matched by high-throughput functional studies if we are to make full use of the current explosion in genome sequences. We have generated a very large bacterial mutant pool, consisting of an estimated 1.1 million transposon mutants and we have used genomic DNA from this mutant pool, and Illumina nucleotide sequencing to prime from the transposon and sequence into the adjacent target DNA. With this method, which we have called TraDIS (transposon directed insertion-site sequencing), we have been able to map 370,000 unique transposon insertion sites to the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi chromosome. The unprecedented density and resolution of mapped insertion sites, an average of one every 13 base pairs, has allowed us to assay simultaneously every gene in the genome for essentiality and generate a genome-wide list of candidate essential genes. In addition, the semiquantitative nature of the assay allowed us to identify genes that are advantageous and those that are disadvantageous for growth under standard laboratory conditions. Comparison of the mutant pool following growth in the presence or absence of ox bile enabled every gene to be assayed for its contribution toward bile tolerance, a trait required of any enteric bacterium and for carriage of S. Typhi in the gall bladder. This screen validated our hypothesis that we can simultaneously assay every gene in the genome to identify niche-specific essential genes.

Intragenic and extragenic suppressors of temperature sensitive mutations in the replication initiation genes dnaD and dnaB of Bacillus subtilis. PLoS One 2009; 4:e6774. [PMID: 19707554 PMCID: PMC2727948 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0006774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2009] [Accepted: 07/30/2009] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The Bacillus subtilis genes dnaD and dnaB are essential for the initiation of DNA replication and are required for loading of the replicative helicase at the chromosomal origin of replication oriC. Wild type DnaD and DnaB interact weakly in vitro and this interaction has not been detected in vivo or in yeast two-hybrid assays. Methodology/Principal Findings We isolated second site suppressors of the temperature sensitive phenotypes caused by one dnaD mutation and two different dnaB mutations. Five different intragenic suppressors of the dnaD23ts mutation were identified. One intragenic suppressor was a deletion of two amino acids in DnaD. This deletion caused increased and detectable interaction between the mutant DnaD and wild type DnaB in a yeast two-hybrid assay, similar to the increased interaction caused by a missense mutation in dnaB that is an extragenic suppressor of dnaD23ts. We isolated both intragenic and extragenic suppressors of the two dnaBts alleles. Some of the extragenic suppressors were informational suppressors (missense suppressors) in tRNA genes. These suppressor mutations caused a change in the anticodon of an alanine tRNA so that it would recognize the mutant codon (threonine) in dnaB and likely insert the wild type amino acid (alanine). Conclusions/Significance The intragenic suppressors should provide insights into structure-function relationships in DnaD and DnaB, and interactions between DnaD and DnaB. The extragenic suppressors in the tRNA genes have important implications regarding the amount of wild type DnaB needed in the cell. Since missense suppressors are typically inefficient, these findings indicate that production of a small amount of wild type DnaB, in combination with the mutant protein, is sufficient to restore some DnaB function.

Abstract
When duplex DNA is altered in almost any way (replicated, recombined, or repaired), single strands of DNA are usually intermediates, and single-stranded DNA binding (SSB) proteins are present. These proteins have often been described as inert, protective DNA coatings. Continuing research is demonstrating a far more complex role of SSB that includes the organization and/or mobilization of all aspects of DNA metabolism. Escherichia coli SSB is now known to interact with at least 14 other proteins that include key components of the elaborate systems involved in every aspect of DNA metabolism. Most, if not all, of these interactions are mediated by the amphipathic C-terminus of SSB. In this review, we summarize the extent of the eubacterial SSB interaction network, describe the energetics of interactions with SSB, and highlight the roles of SSB in the process of recombination. Similar themes to those highlighted in this review are evident in all biological systems.

Abstract
Bacteriophage Mu DNA synthesis is initiated during transposition by replication restart proteins PriA, DnaT and either PriB or PriC. The PriA-PriC pathway requires PriA's helicase activity and other host factors that promote the orderly transition from transpososome to replisome on the Mu DNA template. The host factor MRFalpha-PR, which removes obstacles to PriA binding and promotes the PriA-PriC pathway, was identified to be the translation initiation factor IF2. Purified isoform IF2-2, which is truncated at the N-terminal end, had full MRFalpha-PR activity whereas full-length IF2-1 was inactive. IF2-2 was bound to the Mu DNA template specifically at the step for prereplisome assembly. Prior steps in the orderly transition from transpososome were essential to promote efficient IF2-2 binding. Moreover, PriA helicase activity was subsequently needed to displace IF2-2, remodelling the template to permit replisome assembly. IF2's role in the transition mechanism as well as its function as G protein and translation factor suggest its potential to regulate DNA synthesis by this pathway.

Abstract
Collapsed DNA replication forks must be reactivated through origin-independent reloading of the replication machinery (replisome) to ensure complete duplication of cellular genomes. In E. coli, the PriA-dependent pathway is the major replication restart mechanism and requires primosome proteins PriA, PriB, and DnaT for replisome reloading. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate origin-independent replisome loading are not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that assembly of primosome protein complexes represents a key regulatory mechanism, as inherently weak PriA-PriB and PriB-DnaT interactions are strongly stimulated by single-stranded DNA. Furthermore, the binding site on PriB for single-stranded DNA partially overlaps the binding sites for PriA and DnaT, suggesting a dynamic primosome assembly process in which single-stranded DNA is handed off from one primosome protein to another as a repaired replication fork is reactivated. This model helps explain how origin-independent initiation of DNA replication is restricted to repaired replication forks, preventing overreplication of the genome.

Abstract
The RecA protein is a recombinase functioning in recombinational DNA repair in bacteria. RecA is regulated at many levels. The expression of the recA gene is regulated within the SOS response. The activity of the RecA protein itself is autoregulated by its own C-terminus. RecA is also regulated by the action of other proteins. To date, these include the RecF, RecO, RecR, DinI, RecX, RdgC, PsiB, and UvrD proteins. The SSB protein also indirectly affects RecA function by competing for ssDNA binding sites. The RecO and RecR, and possibly the RecF proteins, all facilitate RecA loading onto SSB-coated ssDNA. The RecX protein blocks RecA filament extension, and may have other effects on RecA activity. The DinI protein stabilizes RecA filaments. The RdgC protein binds to dsDNA and blocks RecA access to dsDNA. The PsiB protein, encoded by F plasmids, is uncharacterized, but may inhibit RecA in some manner. The UvrD helicase removes RecA filaments from RecA. All of these proteins function in a network that determines where and how RecA functions. Additional regulatory proteins may remain to be discovered. The elaborate regulatory pattern is likely to be reprised for RecA homologues in archaeans and eukaryotes.

Abstract
Blocking replication forks in the Escherichia coli chromosome by ectopic Ter sites renders the RecBCD pathway of homologous recombination and SOS induction essential for viability. In this work, we show that the E. coli helicase II (UvrD) is also essential for the growth of cells where replication forks are arrested at ectopic Ter sites. We propose that UvrD is required for Tus removal from Ter sites. The viability of a SOS non-inducible Ter-blocked strain is fully restored by the expression of the two SOS-induced proteins UvrD and RecA at high level, indicating that these are the only two SOS-induced proteins required for replication across Ter/Tus complexes. Several observations suggest that UvrD acts in concert with homologous recombination and we propose that UvrD is associated with recombination-initiated replication forks and that it removes Tus when a PriA-dependent, restarted replication fork goes across the Ter/Tus complex. Finally, expression of the UvrD homologue from Bacilus subtilis PcrA restores the growth of uvrD-deficient Ter-blocked cells, indicating that the capacity to dislodge Tus is conserved in this distant bacterial species.

Abstract
Failure to reactivate either stalled or collapsed replication forks is a source of genomic instability in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, dedicated fork repair systems that involve both recombination and replication proteins have been identified genetically and characterized biochemically. Replication conflicts are solved through several pathways, some of which require recombination and some of which operate directly at the stalled fork. Some recent biochemical observations support models of direct fork repair in which the removal of the blocking template lesion is not always required for replication restart.
