Title: Structural basis of the T4 bacteriophage primosome assembly and primer synthesis.
Authors: Xiang Feng / Michelle M Spiering / Ruda de Luna Almeida Santos / Stephen J Benkovic / Huilin Li /
Abstract: The T4 bacteriophage gp41 helicase and gp61 primase assemble into a primosome to couple DNA unwinding with RNA primer synthesis for DNA replication. How the primosome is assembled and how the primer ...The T4 bacteriophage gp41 helicase and gp61 primase assemble into a primosome to couple DNA unwinding with RNA primer synthesis for DNA replication. How the primosome is assembled and how the primer length is defined are unclear. Here we report a series of cryo-EM structures of T4 primosome assembly intermediates. We show that gp41 alone is an open spiral, and ssDNA binding triggers a large-scale scissor-like conformational change that drives the ring closure and activates the helicase. Helicase activation exposes a cryptic hydrophobic surface to recruit the gp61 primase. The primase binds the helicase in a bipartite mode in which the N-terminal Zn-binding domain and the C-terminal RNA polymerase domain each contain a helicase-interacting motif that bind to separate gp41 N-terminal hairpin dimers, leading to the assembly of one primase on the helicase hexamer. Our study reveals the T4 primosome assembly process and sheds light on the RNA primer synthesis mechanism.

How a primosome is assembled and how the ...The T4 bacteriophage gp41 helicase and gp61 primase assemble into a primosome complex to couple DNA unwinding with RNA primer synthesis for DNA replication. How a primosome is assembled and how the length of the RNA primer is defined in the T4 bacteriophage, or in any model system, are unclear. Here we report a series of cryo-EM structures of T4 primosome assembly intermediates at resolutions up to 2.7 Å. We show that the gp41 helicase is an open spiral in the absence of ssDNA, and ssDNA binding triggers a large-scale scissor-like conformational change that drives the open spiral to a closed ring that activates the helicase. We found that the activation of the gp41 helicase exposes a cryptic hydrophobic primase-binding surface allowing for the recruitment of the gp61 primase. The primase binds the gp41 helicase in a bipartite mode in which the N-terminal Zn-binding domain (ZBD) and the C-terminal RNA polymerase domain (RPD) each contain a helicase-interacting motif (HIM1 and HIM2, respectively) that bind to separate gp41 N-terminal hairpin dimers, leading to the assembly of one primase on the helicase hexamer. Based on two observed primosome conformations - one in a DNA-scanning mode and the other in a post RNA primer-synthesis mode - we suggest that the linker loop between the gp61 ZBD and RPD contributes to the T4 pentaribonucleotide primer. Our study reveals T4 primosome assembly process and sheds light on RNA primer synthesis mechanism.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Thousand views of thousand structures

  • Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
  • This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
  • The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
