Convergent evolution in two bacterial replicative helicase loaders

Jillian Chase et al.

Summary: Dedicated loader proteins are crucial for bacterial DNA replication as they open ring-shaped helicases and guide ssDNA into a central motor chamber. Despite having different sequences, Escherichia coli DnaC and bacteriophage P loaders share a similar architecture, with a globular domain and an extended lasso/grappling hook element. Both loaders remodel a closed DnaB ring into an open conformation through the binding of a single alpha helix to the helicase, indicating independent convergent evolution through molecular mimicry.

DciA Helicase Operators Exhibit Diversity across Bacterial Phyla

Helen C. Blaine et al.

Summary: A fundamental requirement for life is the replication of an organism's DNA. Recent research has identified DciA protein as a potential operator for DNA replication in bacteria, analogous to the helicase loaders in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. Computational evolutionary analysis revealed the diversity of DciA proteins and highlighted the importance of phylum-specific analyses for understanding bacterial DNA replication.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

John Jumper et al.

Summary: Proteins are essential for life, and accurate prediction of their structures is a crucial research problem. Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.

Study of the DnaB:DciA interplay reveals insights into the primary mode of loading of the bacterial replicative helicase

Stephanie Marsin et al.

Summary: The study shows that VcDciA can stimulate the loading of VcDnaB on DNA, resulting in increased DNA unwinding. This work is the first step towards understanding the ancestral mode of loading bacterial replicative helicases on DNA.
