Revised Manuscript Received March 17, 1988 abstract: Gene 32 protein (g32P), the single-stranded (ss) DNA bindingprotein from bacteriophage T4, is a zinc metalloprotein. The intrinsic zinc is one of the factors required for the protein to bind cooperatively to a ssDNA lattice. We have used differential scanning calorimetry to determine how the thermodynamic parameters characterizing the denaturation of g32P are affected by removal or substitution of the intrinsic zinc. Over a wide concentration range (1-10 mg/mL), the native Zn (II) protein unfolds at a tm of 55 C with an associated mean enthalpy change of 139 kcal mol'1. Under the same conditions, the metal-free apoprotein denatures over a relatively broader temperaturerange centered at 49 C, with a mean enthalpy change of 84 kcal mol'1. Substitution of Zn (II) in g32P by either Cd (II) or Co (II) does not significantly change the enthalpy of denaturation but does affect the thermal stability of the protein. All metallo forms of g32P when bound to poly (dT) undergo highly cooperative denaturational transitions characterized by asymmetric differential scanning calorimetry peaks with increases in tm of 4-5 C compared to the unliganded metalloprotein. Removal of the metal ion from g32P significantly reduces the cooperativity of binding to poly (dT)[Giedroc, D. P., Keating, K. M., Williams, K. R., & Coleman, JE (1987) Biochemistry 26, 5251-5259], and presumably as a consequence of this, apo-g32P shows no change in either the shape or the midpoint of the thermal transition on binding to poly (dT). Thus, a single metal ion tetrahedrally coordinated to each g32P monomer provides the largest increase in the thermodynamicstability when the protein is cooperatively complexed with ssDNA. In accord with calorimetric data, we suggest that a change in the conformation or a reduction in conformational flux must occur as a direct consequence of the association of zinc with g32P which in turn enables highly cooperative binding of the protein to ssDNA.Cjfene 32 of bacteriophage T4 codes for a nucleic acid binding protein (g32P)! that is required in stoichiometric amounts for DNA replication, repair, and recombination [for a review, see Chase and Williams (1986)]. Approximately one-third of the overall free energy of g32P binding to sin-gle-stranded nucleic acids derives from cooperative protein-protein interactions between adjacent g32P molecules bound to the nucleic acid lattice (Kelly et al., 1976). These coop-erative g32P-g32P interactions are dependent in part upon an intact NH2-terminal “B” region (defined here as residues 1-21). Proteolytic removal of the B region reduces the co-operativity parameters for binding ssDNA from about 103 to
