Peptide Interactions on Bacterial Sliding Clamps.
Acs Infect Dis., 2019

PubMed Abstract: Bacterial sliding clamps control the access of DNA polymerases to the replication fork and are appealing targets for antibacterial drug development. It is therefore essential to decipher the polymerase-clamp binding mode across various bacterial species. Here, two residues of the E. coli clamp binding pocket, S and M, and their cognate residues in M. tuberculosis and B. subtilis clamps, were mutated. The effects of these mutations on the interaction of a model peptide with these variant clamps were evaluated by thermodynamic, molecular dynamics, X-rays crystallography, and biochemical analyses. M and corresponding residues in Gram positive clamps occupy a strategic position where a mobile residue is essential for an efficient peptide interaction. S has a more subtle function that modulates the pocket folding dynamics, while the equivalent residue in B. subtilis is essential for polymerase activity and might therefore be a Gram positive-specific molecular marker. Finally, the peptide binds through an induced-fit process to Gram negative and positive pockets, but the complex stability varies according to a pocket-specific network of interactions.
