Description | This entry represents the C-terminal domain of DNAB-like helicases. DnaB helicase unwinds the DNA duplex at the Escherichia coli chromosome replication fork. The mechanism by which DnaB both couples ATP hydrolysis to translocation along DNA and denatures the duplex is unknown, however, a change in the quaternary structure of the protein involving dimerization of the N-terminal domain has been observed and may occur during the enzymatic cycle. This domain contains an ATP-binding site and is therefore probably the site of ATP hydrolysis [ , , ]. |
