Analysis of interaction between DNA and Deinococcus radiodurans PprA protein by Atomic force microscopy
چکیده انگلیسی

A DNA repair-promoting protein, PprA, was isolated from a radiation resistant bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans [I. Narumi, K. Sato, S. Cui, T. Funayama, S. Kitayama, H. Watanabe, PprA: a novel protein from Deinococcus radiodurans that stimulates DNA ligation, Mol. Microbiol. 54 (2004) 278–285]. Despite several studies, however, the function of PprA is not still clear. We used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to elucidate the role of this protein in the DNA repair pathway. In the present study, interaction between the linear DNA and PprA protein was imaged and analyzed by AFM without any fixation or staining. Though both end-bound and internally bound PprA was observed, the affinity of the end-bound protein was greater considering the proportion of features of binding analyzed by AFM. In some conditions, looping forms of the DNA–PprA complex were observed. Gel filtration high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was also conducted to estimate the molecular weight of this protein. The result of the HPLC analysis suggested that PprA formed multimers in buffer solution without DNA.
