NurA is a novel 5'-3' exonuclease that is closely linked to Mre11 and Rad50 homologues in most thermophilic archaea. We report a physical and functional interaction between NurA (StoNurA) and single-stranded DNA-binding protein (StoSSB) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus tokodaii. StoSSB was identified as a novel StoNurA-interacting protein by pull-down assay using Ni-NTA agarose beads and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The direct interaction between StoNurA and StoSSB was further confirmed. by yeast two-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation analysis. The interaction was supposed to have functional significance because it was found that StoSSB inhibited the 5'-3' ssDNA and dsDNA exonuclease and ssDNA endonuclease activities of StoNurA. Our results suggest that NurA may function closely together with SSB in DNA transactions in archaea. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Inc.
