In vitro affinity of Deinococcus radiodurans MutS towards mismatched DNA exceeds that of its orthologues from Escherichia coli and Thermus thermophilus
Abstract
The mismatch binding protein MutS is responsible for the recognition of mispaired and unpaired bases, which is the initial step in DNA repair. Among the MutS proteins most extensively studied in vitro are those derived from Thermus thermophilus, Thermus aquaticus and Escherichia coli. Here, we present the first report on the in vitro examination of DNA mismatch binding activity of MutS protein from Deinococcus radiodurans and confront this with the properties of those from E. coli and T. thermophilus. The analyses which included mobility gel-shift assay, colorimetric and qPCR estimation of MutS-bound DNA clearly showed that D. radiodurans MutS exhibited much higher affinity towards mismatched DNA in vitro than its counterparts from E. coli and T. thermophilus. In addition, D. radiodurans MutS displayed a significantly higher specificity of DNA mismatch binding than the two other orthologues. The specificity expressed as the ratio of mismatched to fully complementary DNA bound reached over 4 and 20-fold higher values for D. radiodurans than for T. thermophilus and E. coli MutS, respectively. The results demonstrate mainly the biotechnological potential of D. radiodurans MutS but the in vitro characteristics of the MutS orthologues could reflect substantial differences in DNA mismatch binding activities existing in vivo.
