Journal ArticleDOI
Assembly of a double hexameric helicase.
Stephen Schuck,Arne Stenlund +1 more
TL;DR: The assembly of the papillomavirus E1 initiator DH helicase is recapitulated, providing the first description of how such a complex is formed, and an intermediate is identified, a double trimer (DT), which relies on two cooperating DNA binding activities to melt double-stranded DNA and generate a substrate for formation of theDH helicase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic look at DNA unwinding by a replicative helicase
Seung Jae Lee,Salman Syed,Eric J. Enemark,Eric J. Enemark,Stephen Schuck,Arne Stenlund,Taekjip Ha,Leemor Joshua-Tor,Leemor Joshua-Tor,Leemor Joshua-Tor +9 more
TL;DR: The findings reveal that E1 employs a strand exclusion mechanism to unwind DNA with the N-terminal side leading at the replication fork, and DNA unwinding by E1 is modulated by the origin-recognition domain, suggesting a previously unsuspected role for this domain in regulating helicase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adjacent Residues in the E1 Initiator β-Hairpin Define Different Roles of the β-Hairpin in Ori Melting, Helicase Loading, and Helicase Activity
TL;DR: Two residues in the helicase domain of the E1 initiator protein, part of a highly conserved structural motif, the beta-hairpin, are analyzed, which provides a link between local origin melting and DNA helicase activity and suggests how the transition between these two states comes about.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic Analysis of Local Ori Melting and Helicase Assembly by the Papillomavirus E1 Protein
Stephen Schuck,Arne Stenlund +1 more
TL;DR: Understanding of how E1 generates local melting suggests possible mechanisms for local melting in other replicons, including papillomavirus E1 and other eukaryotic replicons.
Journal ArticleDOI
CK2 Phosphorylation Inactivates DNA Binding by the Papillomavirus E1 and E2 Proteins
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that phosphorylation by the protein kinase CK2 controls the biochemical activities of the bovine papillomavirus E1 and E2 proteins by modifying their DNA binding activity.
