Apr 22, 2016 · In the 19 Å resolution EM map, the undistorted and unopened helicase ring holds a robust loader density above the C-terminal RecA-like domain. Meanwhile, the path of the central DNA binding channel appears to be obstructed by the reconstructed loader density, implying its potential role as a checkpoint conformation to prevent the loading of immature complex onto DNA.

Learn MoreLoading the bacterial replicative helicase DnaB onto DNA requires a specific loader protein, DnaC/DnaI, which creates the loading-competent state by opening the DnaB hexameric ring. To understand the molecular mechanism by which DnaC/DnaI opens the DnaB ring, we solved 3.1-Å co-crystal structure of the interaction domains of Escherichia coli DnaB-DnaC.

Learn MoreHexameric DnaB helicases are often loaded at DNA replication forks by interacting with the initiator protein DnaA and/or a helicase loader (DnaC in Escherichia coli). These loaders are not universally required, and DnaB from Helicobacter pylori was found to bypass DnaC when expressed in E. coli cells.

Learn MoreStructure of a helicase-helicase loader complex reveals insights into the mechanism of bacterial primosome assembly. Liu B., Eliason W.K., Steitz T.A. During the assembly of the bacterial loader-dependent primosome, helicase loader proteins bind to the hexameric helicase ring, deliver it onto the oriC DNA and then dissociate from the complex.
Learn MoreThe overall architecture of the complex exhibits a three-layered ring conformation. Moreover, the structure combined with the proposed model suggests that the shift from the 'open-ring' to the 'open-spiral' and then the 'closed-spiral' state of the helicase ring due to the binding of single-stranded DNA may be the cause of the loader release.
