The 7 kDa Sso7 is a basic protein particularly abundant in Sulfolobus solfataricus and is involved in DNA assembly. This protein undergoes in vitro ADP-ribosylation by an endogenous poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-like enzyme. The circular dichroism spectrum of purified ADP-ribosylated Sso7 shows that this modi. cation stabilizes the prevalent protein beta-conformation, as suggested by shifting of negative ellipticity minimum to 220 nm. Moreover, a short ADP-ribose chain (up to 6-mers) bound to Sso7 is able to reduce drastically the thermoprotective and DNA condensing ability of the protein, suggesting a possible regulatory role of ADP-ribosylation in sulfolobal DNA organization.
