摘要

The UvrA protein initiates the DNA damage recognition process by the bacterial nucleotidenexcision repair (NER) system. Recently, crystallographic structures of holo-UvrA2 dimers from two differentnmicroorganisms have been released (Protein Data Bank entries 2r6f, 2vf7, and 2vf8). However, the details ofnthe DNA binding by UvrA2 and other peculiarities involved in the damage recognition process remain unknown.nWe have undertaken a molecular modeling approach to appraise the possible modes of DNA-UvrA2 inter-naction using molecular docking and short-scale guided molecular dynamics [continuum field, constrained,nand/or unrestricted simulated annealing (SA)], taking into account the three-dimensional location of a seriesnof mutation-identified UvrA residues implicated in DNA binding. The molecular docking was based on thenassumptions that the UvrA2 dimer is preformed prior to DNA binding and that no major protein conformationalnrearrangements, except moderate domain reorientations, are required for binding of undamaged DNA. As anfirst approximation, DNA was treated as a rigid ligand. From the electrostatic relief of the ventral surface ofnUvrA2, we initially identified three, noncollinear DNA binding paths. Each of the three resulting nucleoproteinncomplexes (C1, C2, and C3) was analyzed separately, including calculation of binding energies, the numbernand type of interaction residues (including mutated ones), and the predominant mode of translational andnrotational motion of specific protein domains after SA to ensure improved DNA binding. The UvrA2 dimerncan accommodateDNA in all three orientations, albeit with different binding strengths. One of theUvrA2-DNAncomplexes (C1) fulfilled most of the requirements (high interaction energy, proximity of DNA to mutatednresidues, etc.) expected for a natural, high-affinity DNA binding site. This nucleoprotein presents a structuralnorganization that is designed to clamp and bend double-strandedDNA.We examined the binding site inmorendetail by docking DNAs of significantly different (AT- vs CG-enriched) sequences and by submitting thencomplexes to DNA-unrestricted SA. It was found that in a manner independent of the DNA sequence andnappliedMDprotocols,UvrA2 favors binding of a bent and unwound undamagedDNA, with a kink positioned innthe proximity of the Zn3 hairpins, anticollinearly aligned at the bottom of the ventral protein surface. It isnfurther hypothesized that the Zn3 modules play an essential role in the damage recognition process and thatnthe apparent existence of a family ofDNA binding sitesmight be biologically relevant. Our data should provento be useful in rational (structure-based) mutation studies.
