The DNA-remodelling activity of DnaD is the sum of oligomerization and DNA-binding activities on separate domains.

ABSTRACT: The Bacillus subtilis DnaD protein is an essential protein that has been implicated in the primosomal step of DNA replication, and recently in global DNA remodelling. Here we show that DnaD consists of two domains with distinct activities; an N-terminal domain (Nd) with oligomerization activity, and a C-terminal domain (Cd) with DNA-binding activity and a second DNA-induced oligomerization activity. Although Cd can bind to DNA and form large nucleoprotein complexes, it does not exhibit global DNA-remodelling activity. The presence of separate Nd does not restore this activity. Our data suggest that the global DNA-remodelling activity of DnaD is the sum of three separate oligomerization and DNA-binding activities residing on two distinct but linked domains.

Project description:Chemical synthesis of phosphoromonothioate oligonucleotides (PS-ONs) is not stereo-specific and produces a mixture of Rp and Sp diastereomers, whose disparate reactivity can complicate applications. Although the current methods to separate these diastereomers which rely on chromatography are constantly improving, many Rp and Sp diastereomers are still co-eluted. Here, based on sulfur-binding domains that specifically recognize phosphorothioated DNA and RNA in Rp configuration, we developed a universal separation system for phosphorothioate oligonucleotide isomers using immobilized SBD (SPOIS). With the scalable SPOIS, His-tagged SBD is immobilized onto Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid-coated magnetic beads to form a beads/SBD complex, Rp isomers of the mixture can be completely bound by SBD and separated from Sp isomers unbound in liquid phase, then recovered through suitable elution approach. Using the phosphoromonothioate single-stranded DNA as a model, SPOIS separated PS-ON diastereomers of 4 nt to 50 nt in length at yields of 60-90% of the starting Rp isomers, with PS linkage not locating at 5' or 3' end. Within this length range, PS-ON diastereomers that co-eluted in HPLC could be separated by SPOIS at yields of 84% and 89% for Rp and Sp stereoisomers, respectively. Furthermore, as each Rp phosphorothioate linkage can be bound by SBD, SPOIS allowed the separation of stereoisomers with multiple uniform Sp configurations for multiple phosphorothioate modifications. A second generation of SPOIS was developed using the thermolabile and non-sequence-specific SBDPed, enabling fast and high-yield recovery of PS substrate stereoisomers for the DNAzyme Cd16 and further demonstrating the efficiency of this method. KEY POINTS: • SPOIS allows isomer separations of the Rp and Sp isomers co-eluted on HPLC. • SPOIS can obtain Sp isomers with 5 min and Rp in 20 min from PS-ON diastereomers. • SPOIS was successfully applied to separate isomers of PS substrates of DNAzyme.

Project description:Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells pooled from several donors, were purchased from Lonza and cultured in FBS reduced Endopan 3 media. HUVEC cells of passages 5-10 were used for experiments. MPO treatment was performed with protein purified from human blood (Planta) and at 1 μg/ml final concentration. Immunoprecipitation was performed from isolated nuclei (after 8 hours MPO treatment), non-treated cells were used as negative control. For immunoprecipitation antibody against MPO (Calbiochem, 475915) was used. Cell nuclei were isolated by incubating cells for 15 min on ice in NIB buffer (15 mM Tris-HCL pH 7.5, 60 mM KCl, 15 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 250 mM sucrose) containing 0.3% NP-40. Nuclei were pelleted for 5 min 800 × g at 4 °C, washed twice in the same buffer, lysed for 10 min on ice in IP buffer (150 mM LiCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% Empigen) freshly supplemented with 2 mM sodium vanadate, 1× protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche), PMSF (10 µl), 0,5 mM DTT, and 50 units Benzonase per ml of IP buffer, before preclearing cell debris by centrifugation at >15,000 × g at 4 °C. Finally, 1 mg of the lysate was incubated with anti-MPO antisera overnight at 4 °C. Magnetic beads (Active Motif) were then washed once with 1× PBS-Tween and combined with the antibody-lysate mixture. Following a 2-h incubation at 4 °C, beads were separated on a magnetic rack and washed 5×, 5 min each in wash buffer (150 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 0.5% NP-40) and another two times in wash buffer without NP-40. Captured proteins were predigested and eluted from the beads using digestion buffer (2 M Urea, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 1 mM DTT) supplemented with trypsin and eluted from the beads with elution buffer (2 M Urea, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 5 mM chloroacetamide) supplemented with trypsin and LysC, before subjected to mass-spectrometry on a Q-Exactive Plus Orbitrap platform coupled to an EASY nLC (Thermo Scientific). Peptides were loaded in solvent A (0.1% formic acid in water) onto an in-house packed analytical column (50 cm length, 75 µm I.D., filled with 2.7 µm Poroshell EC120 C1; Agilent)
