High-resolution analysis of protein, and DNA conformational changes during DNA polymerization, established relationships between the enzymatic function and conformational dynamics of individual domains for a DNA polymerase. Replicative DNA polymerases are stalled by damaged DNA while the newly discovered Y-family DNA polymerases are recruited to rescue these stalled replication forks, thereby enhancing cell survival. The Y-family DNA polymerases, characterized by low fidelity and processivity, are able to bypass different classes of DNA lesions. A variety of kinetic and structural studies have established a minimal reaction pathway common to all DNA polymerases, although the conformational intermediates are not well defined. Furthermore, the identification of the rate-limiting step of nucleotide incorporation catalyzed by any DNA polymerase has been a matter of long debate. By monitoring time-dependent fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) signal changes at multiple sites in each domain and DNA during catalysis, we present here a real-time picture of the global conformational transitions of a model Y-family enzyme: DNA polymerase IV (Dpo4) from Sulfolobus solfataricus. Our results provide evidence for a hypothetical DNA translocation event followed by a rapid protein conformational change prior to catalysis and a subsequent slow, post-chemistry protein conformational change. Surprisingly, the DNA translocation step was induced by the binding of a correct nucleotide. Moreover, we have determined the directions, rates, and activation energy barriers of the protein conformational transitions, which indicated that the four domains of Dpo4 moved in a synchronized manner. These results showed conclusively that a pre-chemistry conformational change associated with domain movements was too fast to be the rate-limiting step. Rather, the rearrangement of active site residues limited the rate of correct nucleotide incorporation. Collectively, the conformational dynamics of Dpo4 offer insights into how the inter-domain movements are related to enzymatic function and their concerted interactions with other proteins at the replication fork. Faithful replication of genomic DNA by DNA polymerases is crucial for maintaining the genetic integrity of an organism. If DNA becomes damaged, specialized lesion-bypass DNA polymerases are recruited to correct errors in the DNA. A variety of kinetic and structural studies have established a minimal kinetic mechanism common to all DNA polymerases. This mechanism includes several steps involving discrete protein conformational changes. However, the inter-relationship between conformational dynamics and enzymatic function has remained unclear, and identification of the rate-limiting step during nucleotide incorporation has been controversial. In this study, we monitored the directions and rates of motion of domains of a lesion-bypass polymerase during correct nucleotide incorporation. Our study provides several significant findings. First, the binding of a correct nucleotide induces a fast and surprising DNA translocation event. Second, all four domains of the polymerase rapidly move in a synchronized manner before and after the polymerization reaction. Third, repositioning of active site residues is the rate-limiting step during correct nucleotide incorporation. Thus, the motions of the polymerase and the polymerase-bound DNA substrate are tightly coupled to catalysis.
