Concentrations were determined by UV absorbance and are given in terms of monomeric protein. On both one- and two-site plasmids, reaction velocities were evaluated from the utilization of the SC DNA rather than from the formation of any individual product. Under the conditions used here, prolonged incubation of 200 nM N13Y with 10 nM DNA, resulted in low levels of non-specific cleavage, as judged by smeared products in agarose gels (data not shown). Marshall JM, Gowers DM, Halford SE. Roberts RJ, Vincze T, Posfai J, Macelis D. REBASE - enzymes and genes for DNA restriction and modification. Some act like Type IIE enzymes: for example, FokI, MboII and BfiI all cleave two-site substrates more rapidly than DNA with one site, but cut only one site at a time, or even just one strand ( 2 , 31 , 33 ). Here, the individual steps in the FokI reaction pathway were examined by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). For pre-mix reactions, which were started by adding Mg2+ to a solution containing both enzyme and DNA, FokI was added to the plasmid in Buffer R and the solution incubated at 37C before mixing with an equal volume of 20 mM MgOAc in Buffer R. With both procedures, the final reactions contained varied concentrations of FokI enzyme (6.25250 nM) and fixed concentrations of both plasmid (2.5 nM) and MgOAc (10 mM). This study used a series of plasmids with two sites in inverted orientation separated by varied distances. 1FOK STRUCTURE OF RESTRICTION ENDONUCLEASE FOKI BOUND TO DNA PDB DOI: 10.2210/pdb1FOK/pdb NDB: PDE0127 Classification: HYDROLASE/DNA Organism (s): Planomicrobium okeanokoites Expression System: Escherichia coli Mutation (s): No Deposited: 1997-04-18 Released: 1997-12-03 The reaction pathway for FokI on a supercoiled DNA with two sites was dissected by fast kinetics to reveal, in turn: the initial binding of a protein monomer to each site; the proteinprotein association to form the dimer, trapping the loop; the subsequent phosphodiester hydrolysis step. It can achieve the same turnover rate in its steady-state reactions on a DNA with one site as that on the optimal two-site substrates ( Figure 3a ) but to do so, protein concentrations >>100 nM have to be employed ( Figures 3b and 4b ). (b) The data in (a) show that kcleave must be about 20 s1 and that the process which limits kmax to 3 s1 is kloop. Iyer RR, Pluciennik A, Burdett V, Modrich PL. In contrast, the Type II endonucleases that need two sites generally possess two separate binding surfaces for their cognate DNA, both of which have to be occupied before the enzyme becomes fully active ( 14 16 ). Perhaps the most amenable test systems for DNA looping are the Type II restriction endonucleases that bridge two recognition sites (2,5). and transmitted securely. The N13Y variant of the FokI endonuclease was purified from a strain supplied by Dr J. Bitinaite (New England Biolabs). & Liu, D. R. (2014). The values for kobs increased with increasing [E0] up to a maximum at saturating levels, but in a sigmoidal rather than a hyperbolic fashion (Figure 2b). The PubMed wordmark and PubMed logo are registered trademarks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Only one of the subunits in the FokI dimer at a single site is bound directly to the recognition site in the DNA. The slow phases of the pre-mix reactions may be due to FokI binding first as a monomer to one or both sites but that, during the pre-equilibrium of the DNA with high [E0] in the absence of Mg2+, a fraction of the DNA ends up with FokI dimers at individual sites rather than the dimer across two sites (as in Figure 3b). The strain encodes a fusion protein comprised of the mutant FokI attached to an intein and a chitin-binding domain.

[2] Once the protein is bound to duplex DNA via its DNA-binding domain at the 5'-GGATG-3' recognition site, the DNA cleavage domain is activated and cleaves the DNA at two locations, regardless of the nucleotide sequence at the cut site. ( b ) The reaction contained 2 nM FokI and 10 nM 3 H-labelled pIF185 (90% in its SC form, 10% as OC) in Reaction Buffer at 37C. 1998 Sep 1;95(18):10570-5. doi: 10.1073/pnas.95.18.10570. The line shows the optimal fit, which was obtained with a periodicity of 9.9 0.4 bp. Dynamics of single DNA looping and cleavage by Sau3AI and effect of tension applied to the DNA. On the plasmid with one site, dimerization was driven by adding a mutant of FokI that had a defective DNA-binding domain but an unaltered catalytic/dimerization domain ( 39 ). The two catalytic domains each engage one strand of the DNA downstream of the recognition site (the assignment of target strands to monomers is arbitrary) but only one of the two DNA-binding contacts the recognition sequence. The data fitted better with n = 2 (i.e. Gemmen GJ, Millin R, Smith DE. Only a small fraction of the enzyme is then active dimer, so one-site DNA is cleaved slowly. (b) The pathway in Figure 2c was extended for reactions at [E0] > KDimer. ( a ) FokI endonuclease was incubated with pSKFokI (a plasmid with one FokI site) before adding magnesium acetate, to give a reaction that contained 50 nM FokI and 2.5 nM 3 H-labelled DNA (95% SC) in Reaction Buffer at 37C. Samples were removed from the reactions at timed intervals and the residual concentrations of the SC substrate measured as in Material and Methods. (b) Values of kobs (bars denote standard errors from 3 repeats) were plotted against [E0] and the data fitted to Equation (2) with one of the following values for n: 1, dashed blue line; 2, black line; 4, dashed red line. Artificial restriction DNA cutters as new tools for gene manipulation. The best-fit values (Table 1) show firstly that the initial binding of the monomer to a single recognition site, KD = 4 nM, is much tighter than the association of a second monomer from free solution, KDimer = 100 nM. At the enzyme concentrations typically used in restriction assays, usually 1 nM, FokI cleaves one-site substrates at remarkably slow rates, much slower than is usual for Type II restriction enzymes and much slower than FokI itself on a DNA with two sites. Huang J, Schlick T, Vologodskii A. Dynamics of site juxtaposition in supercoiled DNA. If in the absence of Mg2+ the enzyme binds both sites and loops out the DNA, the pre-mix reaction will then start from the looped DNAprotein complex, which would cut the DNA directly upon adding Mg2+, at a rate that corresponds explicitly to kcleave. Roberts, R.J., Belfort, M., Bestor, T., Bhagwat, A.S., Bickle, T.A., Bitinaite, J., Blumenthal, R.M., Degtyarev, S.K., Dryden, D.T.F., Dybvig, K., et al. Most proteins that bind two sites have higher affinities for sites in the same molecule of DNA than for sites on separate molecules, since the local concentration of one site in the vicinity of another is usually higher in cis than in trans ( 15 , 28 ).

Such enzymes trap loops on DNA molecules with two copies of the target sequence (14,17). The restriction enzymes historically considered as the orthodox Type II systems, such as EcoRI, EcoRV and BamHI, all act in this manner ( 3 5 ). The data presented here (Figure 2c) show that the dimer spanning two sites is actually formed by the association of two DNA-bound monomers. The N13Y mutant of FokI has no specific DNA cleavage activity, presumably due its inability to bind to its recognition sequence. The two plasmids also gave similar values for kmax but as kmax incorporates both loop closure and phosphodiester hydrolysis, this only shows that the slower of these two steps is not significantly affected by the change in site separation. In contrast, with FokI, the for loop capture is about 10 times longer than the juxtaposition time. Absence or presence of the FokI restriction site was denoted F and f, respectively. To date, the best characterized of the restriction enzymes that recognize asymmetric sequences, in terms of structural data, is the Type IIS enzyme FokI ( 37 40 ). Starting from a plasmid with a single FokI site, pSKFokI ( 39 ), a series of plasmids was constructed with two FokI sites separated by 170199 bp, pIF170-pIF199. Rapid-reaction analysis of plasmid DNA cleavage by the EcoRV restriction endonuclease. As expected, given that the FokI sites on pIF190 and on pIF185 have identical flanking sequences, both plasmids gave similar values for KD. However, subsequent studies raised the possibility of an alternative scheme in which two monomers bound to separate sites on the same DNA interact with each other via their catalytic domains to form a dimer spanning both sites, looping out the intervening DNA (27). The dimer then cuts both strands while remaining bound to the DNA, presumably using one active site on each strand (35). doi: 10.1042/BSR20201633. Roberts RJ, Halford SE. Post-mix reactions also utilized pIF190 as the substrate (data not shown). FokI restriction endonuclease recognizes the nonpalindromic pentadeoxyribonucleotide, 5'-GGATG-3':5'-CATCC-3' in duplex DNA and cleaves 9 and 13 nucleotides away from the recognition site. Stable DNA loops in vivo and in vitro: roles in gene regulation at a distance and in biophysical characterization of DNA. However, enzymes that can loop DNA by binding two sites in cis are often capable of bindingalbeit less readilytwo sites in trans (7). But if a restriction enzyme uses a single subunit to recognize an asymmetric sequence and if that subunit has only one active site, how does it cut both strands of the DNA? It has yet to be determined which of these pathways is used by FokI, or whether both contribute. Grindley NDF, Whiteson KL, Rice PA. Mechanisms of site-specific recombination. DNA mismatch repair: functions and mechanisms. The rate of loop capture by FokI therefore cannot be diffusion-limited by the internal motion of the DNA. -. The fractions containing the FokI protein were diluted 3-fold into 10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.8), 1 mM EDTA, 10% (v/v) glycerol, loaded onto a Mono S cation exchange column (GE Healthcare) and eluted with a linear gradient of 0.10.8 M NaCl in 10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.8), 1 mM EDTA and 10% glycerol. The species 24s-Ax488 and 34s-Ax488 carry the recognition sequence for FokI (underlined in bold), the downstream sites of DNA cleavage (arrows) and an Alexa Fluor 488 dye attached via a C. Possible pathways to impact by FokI. WebCalifornia, Government, Real Estate, Appraisal, Appraiser, USPAP, real property valuation then, provided that [E0] > [S] and that the binding steps are faster than the subsequent cleavage event. The OC DNA formed in excess of the enzyme cannot be an enzyme-bound intermediate en route to the products cut in both strands, but must instead be nicked DNA that has dissociated from the enzyme into free solution, before the enzyme cuts the second strand. On plasmids with two sites, the length of DNA between the sites was varied, to see if FokI loops out the intervening DNA. The turnover rates of FokI on two-site plasmids, relative to the one-site DNA pSKFokI, thus vary from one two-site substrate to the next, from 5 times faster with some to 20 times faster with others. Bitinaite J, Wah DA, Aggarwal AK, Schildkraut I. FokI dimerization is required for DNA cleavage. *To whom correspondence should be addressed. This problem is compounded by the fact that the majority of the Type IIS and Type IIB enzymes require two recognition sites for full activity [( 31 , 32 ) and J. J. T. Marshall, personal communication]. The DNA used in these calculations is the same size as the plasmids used here, and the reaction diameter is similar to the distance between the two DNA-binding domains in the FokI dimer (28,35). The single turnovers of FokI on pIF185 employed fixed concentrations of DNA and Mg2+ but varied [E0], though with protein monomers always in excess of DNA sites. Moreover, the DNAprotein complex that cuts the DNA at 20 s1 upon binding Mg2+ must be located in the pathway after the step that limits kmax to 3 s1. The DNA motion that juxtaposes the sites ought on the basis of Brownian dynamics to take 2 ms, but loop capture by FokI took 230 ms. Cell. The DNA carrying a monomer at each site either forms the looped complex and cleaves the DNA at the kmax rate (as in Figure 2c), or it binds monomer(s) from free solution to form dimer(s) at individual site(s), which then cleave the DNA at the k1 rate (as in Figure 1). FokI restriction enzyme cuts at the ATG site and hence can be used to detect the SNP using RFLP . The rate constant (kmax) for the conversion of the intact DNA with a monomer at each site to the cleaved product incorporates at least two steps: the proteinprotein association to trap the DNA loop (kloop), followed by phosphodiester hydrolysis (kcleave). Finzi L, Gelles J. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies Dynamics of DNA loop capture by the Sfil restriction endonuclease on supercoiled and relaxed DNA. 2013 Dec 5;8(12):e82539. The deformation of twist in the 185-bp loop must therefore drive release rather than limiting capture. Vanamee ES, Santagata S, Aggarwal AK. Most [but not all ( 2 )] need Mg 2+ as a reaction cofactor ( 3 , 4 ). The two strands of the DNA are shown as parallel lines and the FokI recognition sites as filled arrows (to mark their orientations). Accessibility Binding of acceptor-labelled FokI to donor-labelled DNA. The concentration of the SC DNA in each sample was assessed by scintillation counting. DNA loops <100 bp in length are energetically disfavoured on account of the energy required to bend the DNA, while loops of >300 bp are largely independent of the helical periodicity as the change in twist is then dissipated over many base pairs ( 15 , 28 ). The DNA was one from the series pIF170pIF199, which each contain two FokI sites in inverted orientation separated by the number of base pairs indicated. Brownian dynamics have been used to estimate the times taken for the distance between two specific sites in a SC DNA to fall to an appropriate level (1113). Rather than estimating the rates for cleaving each bond from the transient formation and decay of all of these species (23,25), the kinetics were evaluated from the decline in the concentration of the SC substrate, which denotes the rate at the first of the four bonds cut by the enzyme. In one case, pIF185, the sites were separated by 185 bp; in the other, pIF190, by 190 bp. 2010;38:D234D236. The factors governing looping equilibria have been analysed extensively from both theoretical and experimental standpoints (1,79). The sequence is contacted by a single monomer of the protein, but the monomer has only one catalytic centre and forms a dimer to cut both strands. The only paper available is on the cloning of the methylase genes of the FokI and HgaI systems (Nwankwo and Wilson, 1987). Recently, loop formation by a transcription factor was also shown to be reaction rather than diffusion-limited, albeit indirectly without measuring the capture rate (40). Published by Oxford University Press. The changes in stability displayed a periodicity of about 10 bp, similar to the helical repeat of DNA, a classical signature for looping (1,7,8). Watson, M.A., Gowers, D.M., Halford, S.E. Diffusion-limited loop formation of semiflexible polymers: Kramer's theory and the intertwined time scales of chain relaxation and closing. FokI and TaqI restriction sites are the best known polymorphisms of VDR gene (13,16). Many restriction endonucleases are dimers that act symmetrically at palindromic DNA sequences, with each active site cutting one strand. 2014 Feb 4;106(3):667-76. doi: 10.1016/j.bpj.2013.11.4500. where kmax is the rate constant for cleavage at saturation with enzyme and KD the equilibrium dissociation constant for the enzyme at a single site. Huai, Q., Colandene, J.D., Topal, M.D., Ke, H. Friedhoff, P., Lurz, R., Lder, G., Pingoud, A. Embleton, M.L., Siksnys, V., Halford, S.E. Varied spacings between two FokI sites. Communications between distant sites on supercoiled DNA from the non-exponential kinetics of DNA synapsis by resolvase. For example, the dimer formed between a wild-type subunit and a mutant incapable of binding DNA (36) cannot bind two sites at the same time yet it cleaves one-site DNA at the same rate as the wild-type dimer (27). In these experiments, the native enzyme is the only protein present that can actually cleave DNA but, because it was present at a 20-fold lower concentration than the plasmid, it gave a very slow rate of DNA cleavage ( Figure 3a ). Each data point is the mean of 2 independent reactions; error bars indicate SDs. Conversely, a stable complex will often remain intact for sufficient time to allow the enzyme to cut both stands before dissociating, so only a small amount of OC DNA is released during the reaction. However, upon binding an oligoduplex with the specific sequence, two monomers can assemble into a synaptic complex with two duplexes ( 40 ). 2015 Sep 15;112(37):E5142-9. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (. and transmitted securely. Samples were removed from the reactions at timed intervals and analysed as in Materials and Methods to determine the concentrations of the following forms of the DNA: SC DNA, blue squares; OC DNA, red circles; LIN DNA, green triangles. The FokI restriction enzyme recognizes an asymmetric sequence, 5-GGATG-3. The positions where FokI bound to either left- or right-hand recognition sites cleave the DNA are marked with jagged lines. For clarity, the enzyme bound to cleaved DNA is not shown, nor the subsequent dissociation of the enzyme. The site is secure. None declared. In this study, the reaction pathway for FokI on DNA with two target sites was dissected into individual steps by rapid-reaction single-turnover kinetics. Many type IIs restriction endonucleases interact with two recognition sites before cleaving DNA. Restriction endonucleases that bridge and excise two recognition sites from DNA. At present, looping rates have been measured most often by tethering the DNA between a bead and a glass surface and then assessing the frequency with which the length of the tether shortens upon loop formation (1518). Equation 3 indicates further that the values of kb ought not to vary with the enzyme concentration, as this step is preceded by an irreversible step in the reaction pathway, the cleavage of the first strand: the invariant value for kb , 3.5 1.1 min 1 , corresponds directly to k3 . Perona JJ. If the protein had not bound DNA during the pre-equilibrium, there would be no difference between pre- and post-mix reactions. ( a ) Reaction velocities were determined from the decline in the concentration of each supercoiled substrate with time and are plotted against the inter-site spacing for that plasmid. Instead, it must be reaction-limited, maybe by the proteinprotein association after the juxtaposition of the two DNA-bound proteins (or alternatively, as noted above, by protein conformational changes). Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies Reaction velocities were evaluated by fitting the initial phase of substrate utilization to a linear slope. Chembiochem. To accommodate the reactions on two-site DNA at high [E0], the previous scheme for the reactions at relatively low FokI concentrations (Figure 2c) was extended to include dimer formation at solitary sites (Figure 3b). In the wild-type/mutant dimer at an individual site, only the wild-type subunit can be bound to the recognition site. Type II restriction endonucleases recognize specific DNA sequences, generally 48 bp long, and cut both strands at fixed positions within or close to the site ( 1 ).

It is therefore remarkable that the two subunits of the FokI dimer at its asymmetric site display the same rate constants for phosphodiester bond hydrolysis ( Figure 4 ), in the manner of an orthodox enzyme at a symmetrical site ( 6 9 ). Kingston IJ, Gormley NA, Halford SE. The other examined the rates for forming synaptic complexes prior to site-specific recombination by resolvase: some DNA molecules yielded productive synapses in <10 ms but others took >100 s (20,21). One monomer of FokI binds to each site with the same KD (4 nM) though the actual values for first and second monomers are 0.5 KD and 2 KD, respectively (see text). The segments of agarose that contained the supercoiled, open-circle and linear forms of the DNA were analysed by scintillation counting, to assess the concentration of each form at each time-point ( 11 ). The slow rates may be due to the limited conformational freedom of the tethered DNA relative to unconstrained DNA: repulsion of the bead from the glass surface results in the tethered DNA spending most of its time in an extended configuration that precludes loop capture between sites that are distant from each other along the DNA. The monomers associate with each other to trap the loop and cleave the DNA, initially at one phosphodiester bond: the subsequent products cleaved at 2, 3 and 4 bonds are not shown.

A protein that has to bind to two DNA sites to fulfil its function will generally engage two sites in the same molecule more readily than sites in two separate molecules of DNA, as the physical separation between sites in cis is almost always less than that between sites in trans ( 15 , 28 ). When both recognition domains are bound to the cognate sequence, the dimer of catalytic domains must be in a much more active conformation than when only one recognition domain is bound to DNA. Bath, A.J., Milsom, S.E., Gormley, N.A., Halford, S.E. The plasmids pIF185 and pIF190 (27) were purified from transformants of E. coli HB101 that had been cultured in minimal media containing [methyl-3H]thymidine by CsCl density gradient centrifugations (2326). As the 2983 bp product from cutting pIF185 at one FokI site was only partially separated on the gel from the principal (2820 bp) product from cutting both sites ( Figure 2b ), the concentrations of these two species were assessed together as LIN ( Figure 2c ). The oligoduplex carries the recognition site for FokI (yellow arrow, oriented 53 on the top strand) and the downstream sites for DNA cleavage 9 and 13nt distant in top and bottom strands, respectively (black chevron).

Alternatively, with closely spaced sites, the different orientations result in considerably different distances between the scissile phosphodiester bonds: with inverted (head-to-head) sites, 22 bp shorter than the site-to-site distance; with repeated (head-to-tail) sites, the same as the site-to-site distance. Krger, D.H., Barcak, G.J., Reuter, M., Smith, H.O. Halford SE, Catto LE, Pernstich C, Rusling DA, Sanders KL. The reactions of wild-type FokI endonuclease on the above plasmids were first carried out under steady-state conditions, with the enzyme at a lower concentration than the DNA. In both (a) and (b), each data point is the mean from more than three independent measurements; error bars indicate SE of means. Internal motion of supercoiled DNA: Brownian dynamic simulations of site juxtaposition. Wah, D.A., Bitinaite, J., Schildkraut, I., Aggarwal, A.K. A scheme that can account for these properties is shown in Figure 1 . Reactions were carried out on each plasmid in the series pIF170pIF199. Indeed, FokI remains a monomer in free solution even at micromolar concentrations ( 40 , 41 ), far above the nanomolar concentrations typically used in enzyme assays ( 31 ). The DNA first binds two monomers of FokI, one at each site, in two separate but equal reactions. 2008 September; 36(15): 5122. Steady-state reactions contained 10 nM DNA (one of the above plasmids, 3 H-labelled) in 200 l Reaction Buffer [20 mM Trisacetate (pH 7.9), 50 mM potassium acetate, 10 mM magnesium acetate, 1 mM DTT and 100 g/ml BSA] at 37C, supplemented in some cases with the N13Y mutant of FokI at a concentration between 20 and 250 nM. -. As FokI has a low affinity for DNA in the absence of metal ions (28), high enzyme concentrations were used in the pre-mixes, to ensure that it bound to the DNA during the pre-equilibrium, even though these concentrations lead to dimer formation at individual sites. 3588. The cartoons adjacent to the letters BD, illustrate the characteristics of the relevant duplex: the recognition sequence (only in B and D) is noted as a yellow arrow and the cleavage loci (only in B) by a chevron (the duplex for C lacks the recognition sequence and is not a substrate). Zhang Y, McEwen AE, Crothers DM, Levene SD. For post-mix reactions starting with enzyme and DNA in separate solutions, 80 l of FokI in Buffer R with 10 mM MgOAc was mixed with an equal volume of either pIF185 or pIF190, also in Buffer R with 10 mM MgOAc. 2005 Dec 16;280(50):41584-94. doi: 10.1074/jbc.M506775200. the contents by NLM or the National Institutes of Health. Print 2006. The distances noted here are the numbers of bp separating the recognition sites rather than the cleavage sites ( Figure 2a ). A pathway has been established for the reaction of the FokI restriction endonuclease on SC plasmids with two target sites. In principle, the looping interaction could be established by first forming the dimer at one site, as on a one-site DNA, and then using the subunit that is not bound to the DNA to capture the second site ( Figure 1b ). 8600 Rockville Pike The first and second were the best fits to the data in the insert, the third to the data in the main panel. Instead of the DNAprotein association being more favourable with the two-site substrate as is the case with many Type II enzymes, FokI displays a more favourable protein-protein association on the two-site DNA. To cleave both strands at one site, two monomers have to associate to give a dimer with two active sites ( 38 , 39 ). The velocities of FokI reactions on one- or two-site substrates can be compared only at the same enzyme concentration, as its reaction rates increase disproportionately with enzyme concentration rather than linearly ( 31 , 39 ). Initially, before binding to the DNA, the catalytic domain is sequestered by the recognition domain. The second question was examined by testing whether the activity of FokI on DNA with two sites varied cyclically with the length of DNA between the sites, with a periodicity matching the helical repeat of DNA. The FokI restriction endonuclease recognizes an asymmetric DNA sequence and cuts both strands at fixed positions upstream of the site. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, DNA looping was first demonstrated by finding that the ability of a protein to interact with two sites in cis varied cyclically with the length of DNA between the sites, with a periodicity that matched the helical repeat of the DNA, 10.5 bp ( 28 ). Following the addition of Mg2+ to the enzymeDNA mixture, about 40% of the DNA was cleaved rapidly, within 0.2 s, while the overall reaction took >60 s to reach completion (Figure 4a). Further increases in [E0] had no significant effect on these rate constants, which demonstrates that these reflect saturation rates. While the most rigorous approaches refer to linear rather than supercoiled (SC) DNA (10), fluctuations in SC DNA have been modelled by Brownian dynamics to calculate average times to the first juxtaposition event, typically around 2 ms (1113). We thank Stuart Bellamy and Mark Dillingham for comments and advice and, from New England Biolabs, both Bill Jack and Jurate Bitinaite for materials and extensive help. On October 19, 2021, Governor Newsom issued a proclamation declaring all counties in the state of California in a State of Emergency due to the An alternative is the pre-mix method in which enzyme and DNA are equilibrated together in the absence of Mg2+ before initiating the reaction by adding the Mg2+. To make additional plasmids with two FokI sites different distances apart, pIF181 was cleaved at individual restriction sites between its FokI sites and the DNA then treated with either T4 DNA polymerase (to remove 3 single-strand extensions) or Klenow polymerase (to fill in 5 extensions) ( 29 , 45 ). All rights reserved The online version of this article has been published under an open access model. The monomeric form of FokI encompasses a single recognition sequence ( 37 ) so the concurrent binding to two sites must involve the dimeric form of the protein, with presumably one subunit bound to each recognition site. FokI dimerization is required for DNA cleavage. Experiments measuring the relative rates of loop capture at varied site separations concurred with these simulations (14) but actual capture rates have seldom been measured. Reactions were fitted to first-order rate constants (kobs): the red, blue and black lines indicate the best fits to the corresponding data. Nucleic Acids Res. The stopped-flow studies revealed a complete reaction pathway for FokI, both the sequence of events and the kinetics of each individual step. Finally, the dimeric enzyme in the looped complex hydrolyses the scissile phosphodiester bonds much more rapidly than in the unlooped complex (20 s1 c.f. The distances between the sites are measured from recognition sequence to recognition sequence (noted as x ) rather from the cleavage positions. Even so, the monomer bound to the specific site fails to cut either strand until it forms a dimer (36). On the other hand, when bound to a DNA with two FokI sites, the DNA between the sites is held in a loop ( Figure 5 ), which shows that both subunits of the FokI dimer must then bind to a copy of the recognition sequence. The .gov means its official. The other cleft lacks catalytic functions but the enzyme is inactive unless this cleft is also filled with cognate DNA. A FokI variant incapable of dimerization was also employed, to disentangle the signal due to domain motion from that due to protein association. The numerical model for the scheme in Figure 3b employed a rate constant of 0.5 s1 for subunit dissociation. Structure and function of restriction endonucleases. 0.05 s1). Samples (15 l) were removed at timed intervals (a zero-time point was taken before adding the enzyme), mixed immediately with 10 l of EDTA Stop-Mix ( 24 , 31 ), and subjected to electrophoresis through agarose under conditions that separated the supercoiled substrate from the reaction products.

Consequently, Type IIE nucleases bind two copies of the recognition site but cleave only one ( 21 ). Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. The restriction enzymes that cut DNA after interacting with two recognition sites, such as FokI, can be used to exemplify looping reactions. Since the 185- and the 190-bp separations give rise to loops of unequal stability but equal capture rates, the different stabilities must be due to different rates for loop release. After adding the enzyme, aliquots were removed from the reaction at the times indicated above each lane, mixed immediately with Stop-Mix, and subsequently subjected to electrophoresis through agarose. The simulations modelled DNA molecules of 3.0 kb and computed an average time of 2 ms for the first occasion that two sitesseparated by 500 bp along the DNAbecome juxtaposed to within 10 nm. The first question was examined in two ways. With dimeric restriction enzymes at palindromic recognition sequences, for instance EcoRV or EcoRI, the interactions between one protein subunit and one half of the DNA are duplicated by the second subunit with the other half of the DNA ( 5 ). The pathway identified for FokI corresponds to the scheme in Figure 3 marked with red connectors. In both cases, the theoretical curves fell close to the experimental data. Dimeric CRISPR RNA-guided Fok1 nucleases for highly specific genome editing. The amount of OC DNA liberated during these reactions varied cyclically with the spacing, in the manner of a sine wave. The electrophoretic mobilities of the SC and the OC forms of pIF185 are indicated on the left: on the right, the 2983 bp product from cutting pIF185 at one FokI site and the 2820 bp product from cutting both sites (the other product from cutting both sites is 163 bp and migrates off the end of the gel). The two subunits are therefore in different environments, in contrast to an orthodox (dimeric) restriction enzyme at a palindromic site where the two subunits are in identical environments ( 5 ). At elevated [E0], the decline in the concentration of the SC substrate no longer followed a single exponential as had been observed at lower [E0], but was instead markedly biphasic (Figure 3a). Equation 3 also indicates that as the FokI concentration is increased, the values for the apparent rate constant ka should approach that for the intrinsic constant k2 . The authors wish it to be known that, in their opinion, the first two authors should be regarded as joint First Authors. WebSeveral polymorphisms have been reported for the VDR, one of them is FokI polymorphism, which can be detected by RFLP using the FokI restriction enzyme These factors arise because the first monomer can bind either site but the second can only bind the remaining free site, while the converse applies to dissociation; two pathways for the E2S E1S step, one for E1S E + S. Second, kmax refers to the rate of conversion of the intact DNA, with one monomer at each site, to DNA cut at one or more of its scissile phosphodiester bonds. To test whether FokI reactions on two-site DNA follow the scheme in Equation (1), a series of values were selected for n and, with each value, the sigmoidal variation in kobs with [E0] was fitted to Equation (2) to find the optimal values for kmax and KD at that particular n (Figure 2b). doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0082539. None declared. Typically, >90% of the DNA in each preparation was the supercoiled form of the monomeric plasmid, with <10% as dimeric or nicked open-circle forms. Hirsch, J.A., Wah, D.A., Dorner, L.F., Shildkraut, I., Aggarwal, A.K. Biosci Rep. 2020 Sep 30;40(9):BSR20201633. Nonetheless, these plasmids were all cleaved by FokI in the same manner as the plasmid with repeated sites, as shown here with a representative example, pIF185 ( Figure 2 ). Dimerization was monitored separately by using two samples of FokI labelled with donor and acceptor, respectively. Which of these limits kmax to 3 s1 has yet to be established. The cartoons illustrate the different positions of the donor fluorophore (green circle) on each oligoduplex relative to the recognition sequence (yellow arrow) and the cleavage loci (black chevron), respectively. Zandarashvili L, Esadze A, Vuzman D, Kemme CA, Levy Y, Iwahara J. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. Some single-turnover reactions were initiated by adding FokI to a solution of pSKFokI in Reaction Buffer with magnesium acetate: these yielded the same results as those initiated by adding Mg 2+ to the enzymeDNA mix. The ligation mixture was used to transform E.coli HB101 ( 45 ), and transformants tested for the desired construct by restriction analysis. Another possibility (yellow connectors) is that FokI binds to its recognition site as a monomer but without releasing its catalytic domain from its recognition domain, then recruits a second monomer from free solution and finally swivels the pair of catalytic domains to the cleavage sites.

Prior to reactions, enzymes were diluted to the requisite concentration in 10 mM TrisHCl (pH 7.4), 0.1 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol and 0.2% (v/v) Triton X-100. The cartoons illustrate the individual steps in the, MeSH Nature Biotechnol. ( b ) Reactions at varied concentrations of FokI endonuclease were carried out as in (a) and, in each case, values for ka and kb determined as above. If so, the DNA between the two sites is trapped in a loop. The present invention reveals the construction of several insertion (4, 8, 12, 18, 19 or 23 amino acid residues) and deletion (4 or 7 amino acid residues) mutants of the linker region of FokI endonuclease in Flavobacterium okeanokoites. The dimer proceeds to cut first one and then the second strand, with rate constants k1 and k2, respectively (both 0.05 s1). Specific DNA recognition by EcoRV restriction endonuclease induced by calcium ions. DNA excision by the SfiI restriction endonuclease. Funding to pay the Open Access publication charges for this article was also provided by the Wellcome Trust. Its single (2015). As enzymes that bridge two asymmetric sequences can be affected by their relative orientation ( 46 , 47 ), all of these plasmids carried their FokI sites in inverted (head-to-head) orientation ( Figure 2a ). Statistical-mechanical theory of DNA looping. Reaction A: equal volumes of solutions of, Reactions of donor-labelled DNA with acceptor-labelled variants of FokI. The FokI restriction endonuclease recognizes an asymmetric DNA sequence and cuts both strands at fixed positions upstream of the site. Nevertheless FokI dimerizes much more readily when one of the two subunits is bound to the DNA than when both subunits are free in solution: the free protein in the absence of cognate DNA remains a monomer even at protein concentrations >1 M ( 40 , 41 ). The fokIRM genes have been cloned and sequenced ( 2, 3 ). It proposes that the FokI monomer bound to its recognition site on a DNA with one site associates weakly with a second monomer from free solution, so that only a small fraction of the DNA-bound protein forms the active dimer ( Figure 1a ). The reactions on the substrates with sites separated by 170, or 180 or 190 bp all resulted in the release of relatively small amounts of OC DNA, indicative of relatively stable DNAprotein complexes. Life Sci. The main chain of the FokI protein is shown as a ribbon, with the N-terminal (DNA recognition) domain in blue, the C-terminal (catalytic) domain in red and the linker connecting the domains in green. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. Lerner E, Orevi T, Ben Ishay E, Amir D, Haas E. Biophys J. The FokI endonuclease is a monomeric protein ( 40 , 41 ) that cleaves plasmids with two FokI sites faster than plasmids with one site ( 31 ). Millar DP, Robbins RJ, Zewail AH. Mol. National Library of Medicine Consequently, these enzymes generally cut DNA with two or more sites more rapidly than DNA with a single site (2327). Published values are cited for KDimer, k1 and k2 (27); that for KD is from this study (Table 1). Fusion of catalytically inactive Cas9 to Fok1 nuclease improves the specificity of genome modification. The binding of two subunits to separate sites in the same molecule of DNA tethers the subunits in close proximity of each other, so that they then associate strongly to the dimer ( Figure 1b ). One monomer of FokI binds to the recognition site through its DNA-binding domain, with an equilibrium dissociation constant KD = 4 nM. Rates of loop formation on untethered DNA are currently available from only two experimental systems. The monomer has two domains ( 43 ): an N-terminal DNA-binding domain that spans the entire recognition sequence and a C-terminal catalytic domain that possesses a single active site ( 37 ). In these instances, the contacts between one protein subunit and one DNA strand are duplicated by the other subunit on the complementary strand ( 5 ). Many restriction enzymes that act at individual sites, such as EcoRI or EcoRV, have turnover rates on plasmid substrates of around 1 mol/mol/min ( 3 , 6 8 , 11 ). Supercoiled plasmids with 185 or 190 bp between the sites gave similar rates for loop closure (Table 1), despite these spacings being at, respectively, minima and maxima in the variation of loop stability with site separation (27). 26, 425431, "Zinc finger nucleases: custom-designed molecular scissors for genome engineering of plant and mammalian cells", "Structure of Fok1 has implications for DNA cleavage", "Fok1 dimerization is required for DNA cleavage", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FokI&oldid=1148943996, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 4.0, This page was last edited on 9 April 2023, at 06:02. In contrast, very little experimental data are currently available about looping dynamics on unconstrained DNA in free solution. FokI endonuclease was purified from an over-producing strain of Escherichia coli (from W. Jack, New England Biolabs) to >95% homogeneity as before (27). WebBrea's adopted water conservation ordinance includes important restrictions for everyone to follow. After the times indicated, reactions were quenched with 0.1 M EDTA, and the residual concentrations of SC DNA measured. The mix was incubated on ice for 30 min before transfer to 37C. Accordingly, the present invention relates to DNA segments encoding the recognition and cleavage domains of the FokI restriction endonuclease, respectively. Sasnauskas, G., Jeltsch, A., Pingoud, A., Siksnys, V. Engler, L.E., Sapienza, P., Dorner, L.F., Kucera, R., Schildkraut, I., Jen-Jacobson, L. Bellamy, S.R.W., Milsom, S.E., Scott, D.J., Daniels, L.E., Wilson, G.G., Halford, S.E. The best fit (red line) was obtained with KDw = 99 19 nM and k2 = 3.2 0.3 min 1 . Wah DA, Bitinaite J, Schildkraut I, Aggarwal AK. Apparent rate constants were evaluated from the single-turnover reactions by using SCIENTIST (MicroMath software, Salt Lake City, UT) to fit simultaneously the concentrations of each form of the DNA to the differential equations for the relevant reaction scheme, as described previously ( 11 ). Error bars indicate standard errors of the mean from 3 independent repeats. Tension-dependent DNA cleavage by restriction endonucleases: two-site enzymes are switched off at low force. The sequence is In this case, the resultant assembly again consists of a dimer of catalytic domains but now both recognition domains are bound to specific DNA (27,28). To monitor DNA binding and domain motion, a fluorescence donor was attached to the DNA, either downstream or upstream of the recognition site, and an acceptor placed on the catalytic domain of the protein. To validate this scheme, it is necessary to determine firstly how readily the monomer of FokI associates to a dimer on a one-site DNA and, secondly, whether it traps loops on two-site substrates. Even so, DNA substrates with a single site are cleaved very slowly and full activity is observed only on DNA with two or more sites ( 31 ). As the concentration of N13Y was increased, the rate first increased up to and then beyond the level observed on the representative two-site plasmid, pIF185 ( Figure 3a ). The wild-type/wild-type dimerization was therefore examined by carrying out single-turnover reactions of FokI, with the enzyme at higher concentrations than the one-site plasmid ( Figure 4a ). Cold Spring Harbor, NY: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; 1993. pp. Hence, to achieve its maximal activity on a two-site substrate, the FokI enzyme must bind to both sites concurrently and trap the intervening DNA in a loop. The recognition domain contains three subdomains (D1, D2 and D3) that are evolutionarily related to the DNA-binding domain of the catabolite gene activator protein which contains a helix-turn-helix. On DNA with two sites, two monomers of FokI interact strongly, as a result of being tethered to the same molecule of DNA, and sequester the intervening DNA in a loop. In all of the above examples, two subunits of the protein contact the target DNA, usually in symmetric fashion, and contribute two active sites, one for each strand. However, the dimeric form of FokI can bind two copies of its target DNA simultaneously (28). This strategy was used previously to examine DNA looping by SfiI ( 29 ), a Type IIF tetramer, and will be used here on FokI, a monomer that falls into both Type IIE and IIS categories. In both, the N-terminal DNA-binding domain of the FokI protein ( 43 ) is shown as a blue oval, its C-terminal catalytic/dimerization domain as a red circle and the linker between the domains as a black curve. Equation 3 thus predicts that the values of ka should increase with the enzyme concentration in a hyperbolic manner, governed by the monomer/dimer equilibration, until reaching a maximal value when all of the enzyme-bound DNA is dimeric. Consequently, during the time while the two DNA-bound proteins remain in close proximity of each other, which is particularly long on SC DNA in its nativetightly interwoundconfiguration (12), the two complexes will sample all possible rotational orientations. Gowers, D.M., Wilson, G.G., Halford, S.E. Gowers DM, Bellamy SRW, Halford SE. Kinetics of fast changing intramolecular distance distributions obtained by combined analysis of FRET efficiency kinetics and time-resolved FRET equilibrium measurements. As the dimer of FokI can bind two DNA sites at the same time only when the sites are in cis, on which it must trap a DNA loop, looping by FokI is concomitant with a 400-fold enhancement of catalytic activity. Bath AJ, Milsom SE, Gormley NA, Halford SE. On a DNA with a single recognition site, the active assembly for FokI consists of a dimer of catalytic domains, each of which is attached to a monomeric recognition domain (35), but only one of the recognition domains contacts the specific DNA (Figure 1). (. Cleavage only occurs upon dimerization, when the recognition domain is bound to its cognate site and in the presence of magnesium ions. The mutant protein was also >95% pure, as judged by SDSPAGE. In both site-specific recombination by resolvase and in the looping of biotinylated DNA by streptavidin (1921), some looped complexes were established within 10 ms. After the requisite time delay, the reaction was stopped and the samples analysed by electrophoresis to separate the following forms of the DNA (2326): the intact (SC) substrate; open-circle DNA cut in one strand at one or both sites; the linear species a double-strand break at one site, with or without a single-strand break at the other site; the two final products with double-strand breaks at both sites.

Struct. All of the reactions contained a 20-fold lower concentration of enzyme than DNA recognition sites (as in Figure 2c ), conditions that disfavour the dimerization of FokI at an individual site. While a monomeric protein may be able to cleave both DNA strands, by having two catalytic centres in one polypeptide chain ( 35 ) or by moving a single centre from one strand to the other ( 36 ), it is improbable that a monomer could interact with two separate sites at the same time. At the concentration of FokI tested ( Figure 3a ), its turnover number on the representative two-site plasmid, pIF185, was about 10 times faster than that on the one-site plasmid, pSKFokI; 0.42 mol DNA/mol enzyme/min compared with 0.046 mol/mol/min. The study included 200 unrelated patients with UBC and 200 healthy controls. 1995;34:11131119. Schematic representation for the FokI monomer on DNA with one ( a ) or two ( b ) recognition sites. Researches have shown that the shorter VDR product is more active as a transcription factor . Aliquots from the quenched samples were analysed by electrophoresis through agarose to separate the SC substrate from the cleaved DNA products (2327). Figure 3a shows two reaction records at different enzyme concentrations: in one (in blue), with [E0] < KDimer; in the other (in red), with [E0] > KDimer. Dynamics of long-range interactions on DNA: the speed of synapsis during site-specific recombination by resolvase. In general, the Additional reactions of wild-type FokI on pSKFokI were carried out as above except for the addition of the N13Y mutant of FokI at one of the following concentrations; 20 nM (red triangles), 50 nM (green triangles), 100 nM (blue triangles). On DNA with two FokI sites, it cleaves one site rapidly, more rapidly than one-site substrates and the second at the same slow rate as one-site DNA (24). Both pIF185 and pIF190 were tested, with similar results (Table 1). However, the protein conformational changes that accompany the binding of FokI to its recognition site affect primarily the relative positions of the two domains rather than the conformation within each domain (34,35). [4], The endonuclease domain of Fok1 has been used in several studies, after combination with a variety of DNA-binding domains such as the zinc finger (see zinc finger nuclease),[2] or inactive Cas9[5][6][7], One of several human vitamin D receptor gene variants is caused by a single nucleotide polymorphism in the start codon of the gene which can be distinguished through the use of the Fok1 enzyme.[8].
