HHS Recovery Act Recipient Reporting Readiness Tool

Step 4. Review and Copy the Grant Awards Data

TAGGS provides some – but not all – of the data needed for the Recipient Report. Recipients are responsible for directly collecting and reporting all required data to FederalReporting.gov. Data that HHS does not currently collect are highlighted in yellow. Do not copy this highlighted information. Please enter the appropriate data for your organization in these required fields. For assistance with entering these data please contact FederalReporting.gov.

You may capture the data HHS does provide by copying data from this screen and pasting it into the reporting format of your choice, such as the Excel spreadsheet template, the XML template, or by logging into the online form. For assistance with copying and pasting these data please e-mail our help desk at Readiness Help.

Award Description
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Protein-DNA selectivity is a central event in many biological processes, ranging from transcription and replication to restriction and modification. Because of the excess of non-specific sequences in a cell the initial encounter between a protein and DNA usually occurs outside of the target sequence. Restriction enzymes are paradigms for the study of protein-DNA selectivity and the intermediates en route to a target sequence. We propose three aims of broad biological significance in understanding the mechanisms for targeting hydrolysis at a specific DNA site. An understanding of sequence specific cleavage is relevant to proteins mediating site specific recombination and DNA repair, and for more effective use of restriction enzymes in basic and clinical applications. 1) We will determine the structures of a BamHI isoschizomer, OkrAI, with and without DNA. OkrAI and BamHI offer an opportunity to compare two enzymes that recognize and cleave exactly the same DNA substrate, even though they differ significantly in secondary structure. 2) Specific versus non-specific DNA binding. We have determined structures of BamHI and BstYI bound to the same non-cognate DNA sequence. We will now determine the structures of BstYI bound to other non-specific DNA sequences, and image BamHI molecules diffusing along DNA. In the presence of certain co-solvents, most restriction enzymes show enhanced cleavage at non-cognate sites, the so-called "star" activity. We will determine the structures of a novel BamHI mutant that maintains fidelity under star conditions. The mutant provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the structural changes accompanying a switch between non-cognate and cognate DNA binding. 3) We will obtain structural information on EcoP15I, a prototype of ATP-dependent type III family of restriction enzymes. Despite over 30 years of biochemical and genetic studies, there is still no structural information on these multi-subunit enzymes (MW > 350kDa) that consume ATP to acquire directionality on the DNA. We will put a crude understanding of this unique multi-functional ATP-dependent enzyme onto a more firm structural framework. The studies on EcoP15I, BamHI and BstYI complement each other to provide a molecular perspective on active versus passive diffusion in DNA metabolism. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Site-specific hydrolysis of DNA is common to many biological processes. The discovery of restriction enzymes opened the doors of modern biotechnology and they are ideal systems for the study of site-specific hydrolysis. We will uncover the extraordinary mechanisms by which these enzymes target and hydrolyze specific DNA sequences.
