  ABSTRACT  
 
The loading of oligomeric helicases onto replication origins marks an essential step in replisome assembly. In cells, dedicated AAA+ ATPases regulate loading, however, the mechanism by which these factors recruit and deposit helicases has remained unclear. To better understand this process, we determined the structure of the ATPase region of the bacterial helicase loader DnaC from Aquifex aeolicus to 2.7 A resolution. The structure shows that DnaC is a close paralog of the bacterial replication initiator, DnaA, and unexpectedly shares an ability to form a helical assembly similar to that of ATP-bound DnaA. Complementation and ssDNA-binding assays validate the importance of homomeric DnaC interactions, while pull-down experiments show that the DnaC and DnaA AAA+ domains interact in a nucleotide-dependent manner. These findings implicate DnaC as a molecular adaptor that uses ATP-activated DnaA as a docking site for regulating the recruitment and correct spatial deposition of the DnaB helicase onto origins.
 
  Selected figure(s)  
 
Figure 1.
Figure 1. Structure of DnaC[AAA+]
(A) Domain representation of DnaC. The N-terminal helicase binding region is colored gray and the central AAA+ domain is shown in red. Numbers refer to amino acid positions. AAA+ motifs are highlighted. WA, Walker-A; WB, Walker-B; SI, sensor-I; SII, sensor-II; ISM, Initiator Specific Motif.
(B) Sequence alignment of selected DnaC and DnaA homologs. Alignment was generated by ClustalX (Thompson et al., 1997).
(C) Stereo view of DnaC[AAA+]. Walker-A and -B motifs are blue and yellow, respectively. The sensor-I residue is green and the Box VII helix cyan. ADP and the coordinating magnesium ion (black) are shown within the ATP binding cleft. An internal disordered region is shown as a dotted line. This and all other molecular figures were generated with PyMOL (pymol.sourceforge.net).
Figure 6.
Figure 6. Model for DnaC/DnaA Crosstalk and Helicase Deposition
(A) Structural model for oligomeric DnaC:DnaA interactions. The figure was generated by superimposing the last subunit of a six-subunit DnaC[AAA+] oligomer onto the end of a twelve-subunit DnaA filament assembly. Axial and side views are shown. Cyan spheres represent bound nucleotide.
(B) Model for the symmetric loading of two replicative helicases at oriC. Left: DnaA assembles at oriC and melts the DUE (purple strands). Middle, (1): helicase loading on the bottom DUE strand is facilitated through direct DnaA:DnaB interaction. Middle, (2): DnaC, through a specific interaction with ATP-charged DnaA, recruits the helicase destined for the top strand to oriC. Right: ATP hydrolysis and loss of DnaC frees both DnaB hexamers to migrate to their proper fork positions.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
