The Escherichia coli dgt gene encodes a dGTP triphosphohydrolase whose detailed
role still remains to be determined. Deletion of dgt creates a mutator phenotype,
indicating that the dGTPase has a fidelity role, possibly by affecting the
cellular dNTP pool. In the present study, we have investigated the structure of
the Dgt protein at 3.1-Å resolution. One of the obtained structures revealed a
protein hexamer that contained two molecules of single-stranded DNA. The presence
of DNA caused significant conformational changes in the enzyme, including in the
catalytic site of the enzyme. Dgt preparations lacking DNA were able to bind
single-stranded DNA with high affinity (Kd ? 50 nM). DNA binding positively
affected the activity of the enzyme: dGTPase activity displayed sigmoidal
(cooperative) behavior without DNA but hyperbolic (Michaelis-Menten) kinetics in
its presence, consistent with a specific lowering of the apparent Km for dGTP. A
mutant Dgt enzyme was also created containing residue changes in the DNA binding
cleft. This mutant enzyme, whereas still active, was incapable of DNA binding and
could no longer be stimulated by addition of DNA. We also created an E. coli
strain containing the mutant dgt gene on the chromosome replacing the wild-type
gene. The mutant also displayed a mutator phenotype. Our results provide insight
into the allosteric regulation of the enzyme and support a physiologically
important role of DNA binding.
