Gene Duplication Restores the Viability of Δ and Δ Mutants

English version České info

Both replication polymerases and single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSB, which associate with single-stranded DNA exposed transiently during replication) are ubiquitous and show high levels of functional and structural conservation across all species. Among the nine different polypeptides that compose the bacterial replicative polymerase, the HolC-HolD (χψ) complex interacts with SSB, and is crucial for normal growth in the model bacteria Escherichia coli. Interestingly, many bacterial species lack this complex, where its function is presumably carried out by other polymerase components. With the aim of better understanding HolC-HolD (χψ) complex function in E. coli, we isolated growth defect suppressor mutations of the holD mutant. We found that ssb gene duplication and the consequent doubling of SSB protein expression, renders the entire χψ complex dispensable for growth. We also show that growth-defect suppression requires the presence of the SSB C-terminal amino acids in both ssb gene copies. This C-terminal tail promotes interaction between SSB and its partner proteins. Thus, our results indicate that in vivo SSB concentration plays a key role in maintaining polymerase stability and replication efficiency, in a reaction that involves SSB interactions with protein partner(s) other than χψ.
