Helicases are molecular motors with many activities. They use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind double-stranded nucleic acids while translocating on the single-stranded DNA. In addition to unwinding, many helicases are able to remove proteins from nucleic acids. Bacteriophage T4 Dda is able to displace a variety of DNA binding proteins and streptavidin bound to biotinylated oligonucleotides. We have identified a subdomain of Dda that when deleted, results in a protein variant that has nearly wild type activity for unwinding double-stranded DNA but exhibits greatly reduced streptavidin displacement activity. Interestingly, this domain has little effect on displacement of either gp32 or BamHI bound to DNA but does affect displacement of trp repressor from DNA. With this variant, we have identified residues which enhance displacement of some proteins from DNA.
