    Abstract FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) between far-upstream (−100) and downstream (+14) cyanine dyes (Cy3, Cy5) showed extensive bending and wrapping of λPR promoter DNA on Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) in closed and open complexes (CC and OC, respectively). Here we determine the kinetics and mechanism of DNA bending and wrapping by FRET and of formation of RNAP contacts with −100 and +14 DNA by single-dye protein-induced fluorescence enhancement (PIFE). FRET and PIFE kinetics exhibit two phases: rapidly reversible steps forming a CC ensemble ({CC}) of four intermediates [initial (RPC), early (I₁E), mid (I₁M), and late (I₁L)], followed by conversion of {CC} to OC via I₁L. FRET and PIFE are first observed for I₁E, not RPc. FRET and PIFE together reveal large-scale bending and wrapping of upstream and downstream DNA as RPC advances to I₁E, decreasing the Cy3−Cy5 distance to ∼75 Å and making RNAP–DNA contacts at −100 and +14. We propose that far-upstream DNA wraps on the upper β′-clamp while downstream DNA contacts the top of the β-pincer in I₁E. Converting I₁E to I₁M (∼1 s time scale) reduces FRET efficiency with little change in −100 or +14 PIFE, interpreted as clamp opening that moves far-upstream DNA (on β′) away from downstream DNA (on β) to increase the Cy3−Cy5 distance by ∼14 Å. FRET increases greatly in converting I₁M to I₁L, indicating bending of downstream duplex DNA into the clamp and clamp closing to reduce the Cy3−Cy5 distance by ∼21 Å. In the subsequent rate-determining DNA-opening step, in which the clamp may also open, I₁L is converted to the initial unstable OC (I₂). Implications for facilitation of CC-to-OC isomerization by upstream DNA and upstream binding, DNA-bending transcription activators are discussed.

    Abstract Initial recognition of promoter DNA by RNA polymerase (RNAP) is proposed to trigger a series of conformational changes beginning with bending and wrapping of the 40–50 bp of DNA immediately upstream of the −35 region. Kinetic studies demonstrated that the presence of upstream DNA facilitates bending and entry of the downstream duplex (to +20) into the active site cleft to form an advanced closed complex (CC), prior to melting of ∼13 bp (−11 to +2), including the transcription start site (+1). Atomic force microscopy and footprinting revealed that the stable open complex (OC) is also highly wrapped (−60 to +20). To test the proposed bent-wrapped model of duplex DNA in an advanced RNAP−λPR CC and compare wrapping in the CC and OC, we use fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between cyanine dyes at far-upstream (−100) and downstream (+14) positions of promoter DNA. Similarly large intrinsic FRET efficiencies are observed for the CC (0.30 ± 0.07) and the OC (0.32 ± 0.11) for both probe orientations. Fluorescence enhancements at +14 are observed in the single-dye-labeled CC and OC. These results demonstrate that upstream DNA is extensively wrapped and the start site region is bent into the cleft in the advanced CC, reducing the distance between positions −100 and +14 on promoter DNA from >300 to <100 Å. The proximity of upstream DNA to the downstream cleft in the advanced CC is consistent with the proposed mechanism for facilitation of OC formation by upstream DNA.

    Abstract DEAD-box RNA helicase proteins use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to drive the unwinding of duplex RNA. However, the mechanism that couples ATP utilization to duplex RNA unwinding is unknown. We measured ATP utilization and duplex RNA unwinding by DbpA, a non-processive bacterial DEAD-box RNA helicase specifically activated by the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) of 23S rRNA. Consumption of a single ATP molecule is sufficient to unwind and displace an 8 base pair rRNA strand annealed to a 32 base pair PTC-RNA "mother strand" fragment. Strand displacement occurs after ATP binding and hydrolysis but before Pi product release. Pi release weakens binding to rRNA, thereby facilitating the release of the unwound rRNA mother strand and the recycling of DbpA for additional rounds of unwinding. This work explains how ATPase activity of DEAD-box helicases is linked to RNA unwinding.
