Título: | Nuclear and nucleoid localization are independently conserved functions in bacteriophage terminal proteins |
Autor: | Redrejo-Rodríguez, Modesto CSIC ORCID ; Muñoz-Espín, D.; Holguera, Isabel CSIC; Mencía, Mario CSIC ORCID; Salas, Margarita CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 2013 | Editor: | Blackwell Publishing | Citación: | Molecular Microbiology 90: 858- 868 (2013) | Resumen: | Bacteriophage terminal proteins (TPs) prime DNA replication and become covalently linked to the DNA 5′-ends. In addition, they are DNA-binding proteins that direct early organization of phage DNA replication at the bacterial nucleoid and, unexpectedly, contain nuclear localization signals (NLSs), which localize them to the nucleus when expressed in mammalian cells. In spite of the lack of sequence homology among the phage TPs, these three properties share some common features, suggesting a possible evolutionary common origin of TPs. We show here that NLSs of three different phage TPs, Φ29, PRD1 and Cp-1, are mapped within the protein region required for nucleoid targeting in bacteria, in agreement with a previously proposed common origin of DNA-binding domains and NLSs. Furthermore, previously reported point mutants of Φ29 TP with no nuclear localization still can target the bacterial nucleoid, and Cp-1 TP contains two independent NLSs, only one of them required for nucleoid localization. Altogether, our results show that nucleoid and nucleus localization sequence requirements partially overlap, but they can be uncoupled, suggesting that conservation of both features could have a common origin but, at the same time, they have been independently conserved during evolution. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/98182 | DOI: | 10.1111/mmi.12404 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1111/mmi.12404 issn: 0950-382X |
