Abstract

The ATR (ATM- and rad3-related)-mediated checkpoint pathway has a crucial role in regulating the cellular responses to DNA damage and DNA-replication stress. ATRIP (ATR-interacting protein), the regulatory partner of ATR, binds directly to replication protein A (RPA)-coated ssDNA and enables the ATR-ATRIP complex to recognize this DNA damage-induced structure. Here, we show that ATRIP associates with RPA-ssDNA through multiple interactions. Two major RPA-ssDNA-interacting domains of ATRIP were mapped to the regions flanking the conserved coiled-coil domain. In contrast to a recent article, we found that ATRIP mutants lacking the N terminus retained the ability to bind to RPA-ssDNA, suggesting that the multiple interactions between ATRIP and RPA-ssDNA may function redundantly in the recruitment of ATR-ATRIP. Unexpectedly, one internal region of ATRIP exhibited affinity to ssDNA, suggesting that ATRIP may interact with ssDNA in the ATRIP-RPA-ssDNA complex. Also, the N terminus of ATRIP associated with RPA-ssDNA in two distinct ways, indicating a dynamic and regulated association between ATRIP and RPA-ssDNA.
