The uvsWXY system is implicated in the replication and repair of the bacteriophage T4 genome. Whereas the roles of the recombinase (UvsX) and the recombination mediator protein (UvsY) are known, the precise role of UvsW is unclear. Sequence analysis identifies UvsW as a member of the monomeric SF2 helicase superfamily that translocates nucleic acid substrates via the action of two RecA-like motor domains. Functional homologies to Escherichia coli RecG and biochemical analyses have shown that UvsW interacts with branched nucleic acid substrates, suggesting roles in recombination and the rescue of stalled replication forks. A sequencing error at the 3′-end of the uvsW gene has revealed a second, short open reading frame that encodes a protein of unknown function called UvsW.1. We have determined the crystal structure of UvsW to 2.7Å and the NMR solution structure of UvsW.1. UvsW has a four-domain architecture with structural homology to the eukaryotic SF2 helicase, Rad54. A model of the UvsW-ssDNA complex identifies structural elements and conserved residues that may interact with nucleic acid substrates. The NMR solution structure of UvsW.1 reveals a dynamic four-helix bundle with homology to the structure-specific nucleic acid binding module of RecQ helicases.

Bacteriophage T4 remains an ideal model system in which to study the fundamental mechanisms of nucleic acid metabolism. DNA replication is particularly well suited for study in T4 because the viral genome encodes all the necessary replicative enzymes and accessory proteins that exist in higher organisms (1Miller E.S. Kutter E. Mosig G. Arisaka F. Kunisawa T. Rüger W. Microbiol. Mol. Biol. Rev. 2003; 67: 86-156Crossref PubMed Scopus (543) Google Scholar). During the early stage of the T4 infection cycle, DNA synthesis is initiated by a classic origin-dependent mechanism in which replication complexes are assembled onto persistent R-loops (RNA-DNA hybrids) (2Nossal N.G. Dudas K.C. Kreuzer K.N. Mol. Cell. 2001; 7: 31-41Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (29) Google Scholar). However, this mechanism is quickly abandoned, and during the later stages of infection the switch is made to the more efficient recombination-dependent replication (RDR) 6The abbreviations used are: RDR, recombination-dependent replication; PDB, Protein Data Bank; R.m.s.d., root mean square deviation; HJ, Holliday junctions; ss, single-stranded; ds, double-stranded. 6The abbreviations used are: RDR, recombination-dependent replication; PDB, Protein Data Bank; R.m.s.d., root mean square deviation; HJ, Holliday junctions; ss, single-stranded; ds, double-stranded. to synthesize the bulk of the DNA (3Kreuzer K.N. Annu. Rev. Microbiol. 2005; 59: 43-67Crossref PubMed Scopus (77) Google Scholar). RDR produces a complex concatemeric network of T4 DNA that is ultimately resolved into the circularly permuted and terminally redundant genome that exists within the mature virus particles. The initiation stage of RDR is a recombination reaction in which the 3′-end of a single-stranded region of T4 DNA invades a homologous region of DNA to generate a displacement (D) loop intermediate. The T4 replication machinery is then assembled within the D loop to begin replication from the invading 3′-end (3Kreuzer K.N. Annu. Rev. Microbiol. 2005; 59: 43-67Crossref PubMed Scopus (77) Google Scholar). Homologous recombination is a key process in DNA metabolism that remains poorly understood at the molecular level, and T4 is an ideal system in which to study the mechanism due to its central role in RDR and T4 replication. The T4 proteins UvsX and UvsY perform equivalent functions to the recombination proteins Rad51 and Rad52, respectively, in eukaryotic systems (4Beernink H.T. Morrical S.W. Trends Biochem. Sci. 1999; 24: 385-389Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (110) Google Scholar). UvsX and UvsY are both members of the uvsWXY system, which is associated with susceptibility to DNA damage because of UV radiation (hence the name). This is consistent with the roles that recombination and RDR are now known to play in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (5Klein H.L. Kreuzer K.N. Mol. Cell. 2002; 9: 471-480Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (39) Google Scholar). In addition, it has been known for some time that stalled and collapsed replication forks can lead to DNA double-strand breaks (6Cox M.M. Goodman M.F. Kreuzer K.N. Sherratt D.J. Sandler S.J. Marians K.J. Nature. 2000; 404: 37-41Crossref PubMed Scopus (866) Google Scholar), and RDR has a pivotal role in repairing the lesions generated by these potentially lethal events (7McGlynn P. Lloyd R.G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2002; 3: 859-870Crossref PubMed Scopus (360) Google Scholar). Thus, T4 has also emerged as a model system for studying the molecular basis of the DNA repair processes that serve to maintain genome stability. UvsW is a T4-encoded protein that was first identified through mutations that have multiple and seemingly diverse effects on T4 DNA metabolism (8Derr L.K. Drake J.W. Mol. Gen. Genet. 1990; 222: 257-264Crossref PubMed Scopus (15) Google Scholar, 9Derr L.K. Kreuzer K.N. J. Mol. Biol. 1990; 214: 643-656Crossref PubMed Scopus (23) Google Scholar). The uvsW gene is the third member of the uvsWXY system, and the multiple roles of UvsW were rationalized by in vitro and in vivo studies which revealed that it can catalyze a variety of nucleic acid processing functions as an ATP-dependent helicase (10Carles-Kinch K. George J.W. Kreuzer K.N. EMBO J. 1997; 16: 4142-4151Crossref PubMed Scopus (66) Google Scholar). Primary sequence analyses (10Carles-Kinch K. George J.W. Kreuzer K.N. EMBO J. 1997; 16: 4142-4151Crossref PubMed Scopus (66) Google Scholar) revealed the presence of seven conserved helicase motifs that are involved in substrate binding and hydrolysis (11Gorbalenya A.E. Koonin E.V. Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. 1993; 3: 419-429Crossref Scopus (1026) Google Scholar, 12Hall M.C. Matson S.W. Mol. Microbiol. 1999; 34: 867-877Crossref PubMed Scopus (270) Google Scholar). The motifs specifically suggested that UvsW belongs to the SF2 family of helicases, and this was confirmed by the 2.3-Å crystal structure of a stable N-terminal fragment of the inactive UvsW point mutant K141R (UvsWNF) (13Sickmier E.A. Kreuzer K.N. White S.W. Structure. 2004; 12: 583-592Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus Google Scholar). The fragment a N-terminal that is homologous to the of the T4 E.A. White S.W. Mol. Microbiol. 2002; PubMed Scopus (29) Google Scholar), and the first RecA-like motor that has been in all monomeric helicase to Annu. Rev. Biochem. PubMed Scopus Google Scholar). UvsW is also involved in the switch from early origin-dependent to replication during the T4 infection cycle, and specifically the of R-loops that as at replication K.C. Kreuzer K.N. Mol. Cell Biol. 2001; PubMed Scopus Google Scholar).
