Escherichia coli MutS protein, which is required for mismatch repair, has a slow ATPase activity that obeys Michalelis-Menten kinetics, At 37 degrees C, the steady-state turnover rate for ATP hydrolysis is 1.0 +/- 0.3 min(-1) per monomer equivalent with a K-m of 33 +/- 6 mu M Hydrolysis is competitively inhibited by the ATP analogues AMPPNP and ATP gamma S, with Ki, values of 4 mu M in both cases, and by ADP with a. K-i of 40 mu M. The rate of ATP hydrolysis is stimulated 2-5-fold by short hetero- and homoduplex DNAs. The concentration of DNA cofactor that yields half-maximal stimulation is lowest, for oligodeoxynucleotide duplexes that contain a mismatched base pair. Pre-steady-state chemical quench analysis has demonstrated a substoichiometric initial burst of ADP formation by free MutS that is governed by a rate constant of 78 min(-1), indicating that the rate-limiting step for the steady-state reaction occurs after hydrolysis. Prebinding of MutS to homoduplex DNA does not alter the burst kinetics or amplitude but only increases the s t.eadystate rate. In contrast, binding of the protein to heteroduplex DNA abolishes the burst of ADP formation, indicating that the rate-limiting step now occurs before hydrolysis. Gel filtration analysis indicates that the MutS dimer assembles into higher order oligomers in a concentration-dependent. manner, and that ATP binding shifts this equilibrium to favor assembly. nonequivalence of subunits within a MutS oligomer These results, together with kinetic findings, indicate with respect to ATP hydrolysis and DNA binding.
