Abstract
Purified Bacillus subtilis DnaG primase (predicted molecular mass 68.8 kDa) behaves as a monomer in solution. We demonstrate that DnaG physically interacts with bacteriophage SPP1 hexameric helicase G40P (G40P6) in the absence of ATP. G40P6‐ATP forms an unstable complex with ssDNA, and by itself carries out ATP‐driven translocation along a ssDNA template with low processivity. The presence of DnaG in the reaction mixture increased the helicase activity of G40P6 about 3‐fold, but not the ATPase activity. The results presented here suggest that the DnaG protein stabilises the G40P6‐ssDNA complexes.
