    Abstract Highly conserved MutS homologs (MSH) and MutL homologs (MLH/PMS) are the fundamental components of mismatch repair (MMR). After decades of debate, it appears clear that the MSH proteins initiate MMR by recognizing a mismatch and forming multiple extremely stable ATP-bound sliding clamps that diffuse without hydrolysis along the adjacent DNA. The function(s) of MLH/PMS proteins is less clear, although they too bind ATP and are targeted to MMR by MSH sliding clamps. Structural analysis combined with recent real-time single molecule and cellular imaging technologies are providing new and detailed insight into the thermal-driven motions that animate the complete MMR mechanism.

    Abstract Retrovirus integration into a host genome is essential for productive infections. The integration strand transfer reaction is catalyzed by a nucleoprotein complex (Intasome) containing the viral integrase (IN) and the reverse transcribed (RT) copy DNA (cDNA). Previous studies suggested that DNA target-site recognition limits intasome integration. Using single molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET), we show prototype foamy virus (PFV) intasomes specifically bind to DNA strand breaks and gaps. These break and gap DNA discontinuities mimic oxidative base excision repair (BER) lesion-processing intermediates that have been shown to affect retrovirus integration in vivo. The increased DNA binding events targeted strand transfer to the break/gap site without inducing substantial intasome conformational changes. The major oxidative BER substrate 8-oxo-guanine as well as a G/T mismatch or +T nucleotide insertion that typically introduce a bend or localized flexibility into the DNA, did not increase intasome binding or targeted integration. These results identify DNA breaks or gaps as modulators of dynamic intasome-target DNA interactions that encourage site-directed integration.

    Abstract Retroviruses are obligate intracellular parasites that must integrate a copy of the viral genome into the host DNA. The integration reaction is performed by the viral enzyme integrase in complex with the two ends of the viral cDNA genome and yields an integrated provirus. Retroviral vector particles are attractive gene therapy delivery tools due to their stable integration. However, some retroviral integration events may dysregulate host oncogenes leading to cancer in gene therapy patients. Multiple strategies to target retroviral integration, particularly to genetic safe harbors, have been tested with limited success. Attempts to target integration may be limited by the multimerization of integrase or the presence of host co-factors for integration. Several retroviral integration complexes have evolved a mechanism of tethering to chromatin via a host protein. Integration host co-factors bind chromatin, anchoring the complex and allowing integration. The tethering factor allows for both close proximity to the target DNA and specificity of targeting. Each retrovirus appears to have distinct preferences for DNA sequence and chromatin features at the integration site. Tethering factors determine the preference for chromatin features, but do not affect the subtle sequence preference at the integration site. The sequence preference is likely intrinsic to the integrase protein. New developments may uncouple the requirement for a tethering factor and increase the ability to redirect retroviral integration.

    Abstract Protein complexes involved in DNA mismatch repair diffuse along dsDNA as sliding clamps in order to locate a hemimethylated incision site. They have been observed to use a dissociative mechanism, in which two proteins, while continuously remaining attached to the DNA, sometimes associate into a single complex sliding on the DNA and sometimes dissociate into two independently sliding proteins. Here, we study the probability that these complexes locate a given target site via a semi-analytic, Monte Carlo calculation that tracks the association and dissociation of the sliding complexes. We compare such probabilities to those obtained using a nondissociative diffusive scan in the space of physically realistic diffusion constants, hemimethylated site distances, and total search times to determine the regions in which dissociative searching is more or less efficient than nondissociative searching. We conclude that the dissociative search mechanism is advantageous in the majority of the physically realistic parameter space, suggesting that the dissociative search mechanism confers an evolutionary advantage.

    Abstract Highly conserved MutS and MutL homologs operate as protein dimers in mismatch repair (MMR). MutS recognizes mismatched nucleotides forming ATP-bound sliding clamps, which subsequently load MutL sliding clamps that coordinate MMR excision. Several MMR models envision static MutS-MutL complexes bound to mismatched DNA via a positively charged cleft (PCC) located on the MutL N-terminal domains (NTD). We show MutL-DNA binding is undetectable in physiological conditions. Instead, MutS sliding clamps exploit the PCC to position a MutL NTD on the DNA backbone, likely enabling diffusion-mediated wrapping of the remaining MutL domains around the DNA. The resulting MutL sliding clamp enhances MutH endonuclease and UvrD helicase activities on the DNA, which also engage the PCC during strand-specific incision/excision. These MutS clamp-loader progressions are significantly different from the replication clamp-loaders that attach the polymerase processivity factors β-clamp/PCNA to DNA, highlighting the breadth of mechanisms for stably linking crucial genome maintenance proteins onto DNA.

    Abstract The pathogenic consequences of 369 unique human HsMLH1 missense variants has been hampered by the lack of a detailed function in mismatch repair (MMR). Here single-molecule images show that HsMSH2-HsMSH6 provides a platform for HsMLH1-HsPMS2 to form a stable sliding clamp on mismatched DNA. The mechanics of sliding clamp progression solves a significant operational puzzle in MMR and provides explicit predictions for the distribution of clinically relevant HsMLH1 missense mutations.
