Abstract

The filamentous bacteriopliage Pf1, which infects strain PAK of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is a flexible filament (similar to 2000 x 6.5 nm) consisting of a covalently closed DNA loop of 7349 nucleotides sheathed by 7350 copies of a 46-residue alpha-helical subunit. The subunit alpha-helices, which are inclined at a small average angle (similar to 16 degrees) from the virion axis, are arranged compactly around the DNA core. Orientations of the Pf1 DNA nucleotides with respect to the filament axis are not known. In this work we report and interpret the polarized Raman spectra of oriented Pf1 filaments. We demonstrate that the polarizations of DNA Raman band intensities establish that the nucleotide bases of packaged Pf1 DNA are well ordered within the virion and that the base planes are positioned close to parallel to the filament axis. The present results are combined with a previously proposed projection of the intraviral path of Pf1 DNA [Liu, D. J., and Day, L. A. (1994) Science 265, 671-674] to develop a novel molecular model for the Pf1 assembly.

Low-Temperature Adaptation Targets Genome Packing Reactions in an Icosahedral Single-Stranded DNA Virus

Elizabeth T. Ogunbunmi, Samuel D. Love, Katherine A. Rhodes, Adriana Morales, Margaret H. Wilch, Jeremy Jonas, Bentley A. Fane

Summary: The production of enzymes, transcription factors, and viral receptors directly influences the niches viruses can inhabit. Some prokaryotic hosts can thrive in widely differing environments, including considerations of temperature and physical parameters. These variables may directly alter host physiology, preventing viral replication. Alternatively, they could negatively inhibit infection processes in a host-independent manner. The members of three sister Microviridae genera (canonical species oX174, G4 and alpha 3) infect the same host, but alpha 3-like viruses are naturally cold sensitive, which could effectively exclude them from low-temperature environments (<28 degrees C). Exclusion appeared to be independent of host cell physiology. Instead, it could be largely attributed to low-temperature packaging defects. The results presented here demonstrate how physical parameters, such as temperature, can directly influence viral diversification and niche determination in a host-independent manner.

The Effects of Packaged, but Misguided, Single-Stranded DNA Genomes Are Transmitted to the Outer Surface of the φX174 Capsid

Elizabeth T. Ogunbunmi, Aaron P. Roznowski, Bentley A. Fane

Summary: Most icosahedral viruses condense their genomes into volume-constrained capsids, but ssDNA viruses have specific genome biosynthesis and packaging mechanisms. The packaging of ssDNA genomes combines elements from both dsDNA and ssRNA systems, potentially affecting both packaging and postpackaging phenomena.

Dwell Time Prolongation and Identification of Single Nucleotides Passing through a Solid-State Nanopore by Using Ammonium Sulfate Aqueous Solution

Itaru Yanagi, Rena Akahori, Ken-ichi Takeda

Summary: The study investigated the ionic current blockades when poly-(dT)(60) or dNTPs passed through SiN nanopores in an aqueous solution containing (NH4)(2)SO4. The dwell time of poly-(dT)(60) and dCTP in the nanopores was significantly longer in the aqueous solution containing (NH4)(2)SO4 compared to the solution without it. The prolonged dwell time effect was also observed when the nanopores were fabricated via dielectric breakdown in the aqueous solution containing (NH4)(2)SO4 and remained even after replacing the solution with one without (NH4)(2)SO4. Furthermore, the four types of dNTPs could be statistically identified based on their current blockade values when passed through the same nanopore.

Atomic-Resolution Structure of the Protein Encoded by Gene V of fd Bacteriophage in Complex with Viral ssDNA Determined by Magic-Angle Spinning Solid-State NMR

Yoav Shamir, Amir Goldbourt

Summary: F-specific filamentous phages undergo an intermediate step where gVp homodimers bind to newly synthesized DNA strands, preparing the circular genome for assembly. We report the atomic-resolution structure of the gVp monomer bound to ssDNA of fd phage, which shows significant conformational changes and facilitates the binding mechanism. This study provides insights into the assembly process of the gVp-ssDNA complex.

Near-Quantitative Preparation of Short Single-Stranded DNA Circles

Victoria E. Paluzzi, Cuizheng Zhang, Chengde Mao

Summary: Small ssDNA circles are difficult to prepare, as they often form concatemers instead of monomeric circles. This study presents a simple method to overcome this problem by designing complementary linker molecules. The method allows for the enzymatic ligation of ssDNA as short as 16 nts into monomeric circles at high concentration and high yield.

Duplex DNA Retains the Conformational Features of Single Strands: Perspectives from MD Simulations and Quantum Chemical Computations

Amedeo Capobianco, Alessandro Landi, Andrea Peluso

Summary: Molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics methods predict that short, single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides adopt conformations similar to crystallographic B-DNA in solution. Single strands rich in adjacent purine nucleobases have more regular arrangements, and poly-thymine single strands also retain helical structure in solution.

Roles of the hydroxy group of tyrosine in crystal structures of Sulfurisphaera tokodaii O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase

Makiko Kikuchi, Takahiro Yamauchi, Yasuhito Iizuka, Masaru Tsunoda

Summary: This study investigated the function of tyrosine in the MGMT enzyme by comparing crystal structures of mutants and their complexes with substrate analogs. The results suggest that the highly conserved tyrosine may prevent oxidants from entering the active site and play a role in protecting MGMTs from deactivation after repairing alkyl adducts. This provides insights into the molecular mechanisms by which conserved amino acids ensure enzyme integrity and activity.
