abstract = {DNA replication initiation is a vital and tightly regulated
step in all replicons and requires an initiator factor that
specifically recognizes the DNA replication origin and
starts replication. RepB from the promiscuous streptococcal
plasmid pMV158 is a hexameric ring protein evolutionary
related to viral initiators. Here we explore the
conformational plasticity of the RepB hexamer by i) SAXS,
ii) sedimentation experiments, iii) molecular simulations
and iv) X-ray crystallography. Combining these techniques,
we derive an estimate of the conformational ensemble in
solution showing that the C-terminal oligomerisation domains
of the protein form a rigid cylindrical scaffold to which
the N-terminal DNA-binding/catalytic domains are attached as
highly flexible appendages, featuring multiple orientations.
In addition, we show that the hinge region connecting both
domains plays a pivotal role in the observed plasticity.
Sequence comparisons and a literature survey show that this
hinge region could exists in other initiators, suggesting
that it is a common, crucial structural element for DNA
binding and manipulation.},
