Fig 7. Possible roles of HpDML1 in nucleoprotein complex formed by interaction of HpDprA with DNA.

Fig 7

Model A: C-C interaction bridges two dimers of HpDprA on DNA and thus allows the protein to oligomerize on DNA. (a)schematic describing the role of C-C interaction restricted to single nucleoprotein filament. (b) outcome of deletion of HpDML1 in nuclease protection assay if model A best represents the role of C-C interactions. Model B: C-C interactions play a role in inter–nucleoprotein filament interaction (c) schematic describing role of C-C interactions in cross interaction of two nucleo–protein filaments. (d)outcome of deletion of HpDML1 in nuclease protection assay if model B best represents the role of C-C interaction. The red colored pie shape indicates ss or dsDNA nuclease. The solid structure represent HpDprA and the black curved line represents ss or dsDNA.
