Multiple RNA- and DNA-binding proteins exhibit direct transfer of polynucleotides with implications for target-site search
We previously demonstrated that the polycomb repressive complex 2 chromatin–modifying enzyme can directly transfer between RNA and DNA without a free-enzyme intermediate state. Simulations suggested that such a direct transfer mechanism may be generally necessary for RNA to recruit proteins to chrom...

description | We previously demonstrated that the polycomb repressive complex 2 chromatin–modifying enzyme can directly transfer between RNA and DNA without a free-enzyme intermediate state. Simulations suggested that such a direct transfer mechanism may be generally necessary for RNA to recruit proteins to chromatin, but the prevalence of direct transfer capability is unknown. Herein, we used fluorescence polarization assays and observed direct transfer for several well-characterized nucleic acid–binding proteins: three-prime repair exonuclease 1, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U, Fem-3-binding factor 2, and MS2 bacteriophage coat protein. For TREX1, the direct transfer mechanism was additionally observed in single-molecule assays, and the data suggest that direct transfer occurs through an unstable ternary intermediate with partially associated polynucleotides. Generally, direct transfer could allow many DNA- and RNA-binding proteins to conduct a one-dimensional search for their target sites. Furthermore, proteins that bind both RNA and DNA might be capable of readily translocating between those ligands. |
