Abstract

The Mre11/Rad50 complex is a critical component of the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks, in organisms ranging from archaebacteria to humans. In mammalian cells, Mre11/Rad50 (M/R) associates with a third component, Nbs1, that regulates its activities and is targeted by signaling pathways that initiate DNA damage-induced checkpoint responses. Mutations in the genes that encode Nbs1 and Mre11 are responsible for the human radiation sensitivity disorders Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) and ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder (ATLD), respectively, which are characterized by defective checkpoint responses and high levels of chromosomal abnormalities. Here we demonstrate nucleotide-dependent DNA binding by the human M/R complex that requires the Nbs1 protein and is specific for double-strand DNA duplexes. Efficient DNA binding is only observed with non-hydrolyzable analogs of ATP, suggesting that ATP hydrolysis normally effects DNA release. The alleles of MRE11 associated with ATLD and the C-terminal Nbs1 polypeptide associated with NBS were expressed with the other components and found to form triple complexes except in the case of ATLD 3/4, which exhibits variability in Nbs1 association. The ATLD 1/2, ATLD 3/4, and p70 M/R/N complexes exhibit nucleotide-dependent DNA binding and exonuclease activity equivalent to the wild-type enzyme, although the ATLD complexes both show reduced activity in endonuclease assays. Sedimentation equilibrium analysis of the recombinant human complexes indicates that Mre11 is a stable dimer, Mre11 and Nbs1 form a 1:1 complex, and both M/R and M/R/N form large multimeric assemblies of approximately 1.2 MDa. Models of M/R/N stoichiometry in light of this and previous data are discussed.
