Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins often regulate function through interactions with folded domains. Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein SSB binds and stabilizes single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The N-terminal of SSB contains characteristic OB (oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding) fold which binds ssDNA tightly but non-specifically. SSB also forms complexes with a large number proteins via the C-terminal interaction domain consisting mostly of acidic amino acid residues. The amino acid residues located between the OB-fold and C-terminal acidic domain are known to constitute an IDR and no functional significance has been attributed to this region. Although SSB is known to bind many DNA repair protein, it is not known whether it binds to DNA dealkylation repair protein AlkB. Here, we characterize AlkB SSB interaction and demonstrate that SSB binds to AlkB via the IDR. We have established that AlkB-SSB interaction by in vitro pull-down and yeast two-hybrid analysis. We mapped the site of contact to be the residues 152-169 of SSB. Unlike most of the SSB-binding proteins which utilize C-terminal acidic domain for interaction, IDR of SSB is necessary and sufficient for AlkB interaction.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.
