Escherichia coli UvrD is a superfamily 1 helicase/translocase involved in multiple DNA metabolic processes including methyl-directed mismatch DNA repair. Although a UvrD monomer can translocate along single-stranded DNA, a UvrD dimer is needed for processive helicase activity in vitro. E. coli MutL, a regulatory protein involved in methyl-directed mismatch repair, stimulates UvrD helicase activity; however, the mechanism is not well understood. Using single-molecule fluorescence and ensemble app ...[more]
