UbaLAI reaction mechanism. (A) UbaLAI–DNA association. The first DNA site is bound via the non-catalytic UbaLAI-N domain. This triggers binding and cleavage of the second DNA site by the catalytic UbaLAI-C domain. (B) The proposed UbaLAI reaction mechanism (‘sequential nicking via tethered activation’) on 2-site DNA, involving the ‘swiveling’ catalytic UbaLAI-C domain and the UbaLAI-N domain that tethers the catalytic domain to the multi-site DNA. (C) Proposed mechanism for the UbaLAI-2mut reaction on the 2-site DNA. The complex dissociates before UbaLAI-C can re-bind in the opposite orientation and complete the reaction. (D) Wt UbaLAI reaction on 1-site DNA. The in trans synaptic complex dissociates after nicking the first DNA strand.
