| Abstract | The Escherichia coli UvrB protein possesses an amino acid sequence motif common to many ATPases. The role of this motif in UvrB has been investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Three UvrB mutants, with amino acid replacements at lysine-45, failed to confer UV resistance when tested in the UV-sensitive strain N364 (delta uvrB), while five other mutants constructed near this region of UvrB confer wild-type levels of UV resistance. Because even the conservative substitution of arginine for lysine-45 in UvrB results in failure to confer UV resistance, we believe we have identified an amino acid side chain in UvrB essential to nucleotide excision repair in E. coli. The properties of two purified mutant UvrB proteins, lysine-45 to alanine (K45A) and asparagine-51 to alanine (N51A), were analyzed in vitro. While the K45A mutant is fully defective in incision of UV-irradiated DNA, K45A is capable of interaction with UvrA in forming an ATP-dependent nucleoprotein complex. The K45A mutant, however, fails to activate the characteristic increase in ATPase activity observed with the wild-type UvrB in the presence of UvrA and DNA. From these results we conclude that there is a second nucleotide-dependent step in incision following initial complex formation, which is defective in the K45A mutant. This experimental approach may prove of general applicability in the study of function and mechanism of other ATPase motif proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
