These biochemical activities are required for viral DNA replication and control of viral gene expression. In this study, we characterized the biochemical properties of the helicase and ATPase activities of homogeneously pure Rep68. The enzyme exists as a monomer in solution at the concentrations used in this study (<380 nM), as judged by its mobility in sucrose density gradients. Using a primed single-stranded (ss) circular M13 substrate, the helicase activity had an optimum pH of 7 to 7.5, an optimum temperature of 45 degreesC, and an optimal divalent-cation concentration of 5 mM MgCl2. Several nucleoside triphosphates could serve as cofactors for Rep68 helicase activity, and the order of preference was ATP = GTP > CTP = dATP > UTP > dGTP. The Km values for ATP in both the DNA helicase reaction and the site-specific trs endonuclease reaction were essentially the same, approximately 180 microM. Both reactions were sigmoidal with respect to ATP concentration, suggesting that a dimer or higher-order multimer of Rep68 is necessary for both DNA helicase activity and terminal resolution site (trs) nicking activity. Furthermore, when the enzyme itself was titrated in the trs endonuclease and ATPase reactions, both activities were second order with respect to enzyme concentration. This suggests that a dimer of Rep68 is the active form for both the ATPase and nicking activities. In contrast, DNA helicase activity was linear with respect to enzyme concentration. When bound to ssDNA, the enzyme unwound the DNA in the 3'-to-5' direction. DNA unwinding occurred at a rate of approximately 345 bp per min per monomeric enzyme molecule. The ATP turnover rate was approximately 30 to 50 ATP molecules per min per enzyme molecule. Surprisingly, the presence of DNA was not required for ATPase activity. We estimated that Rep translocates processively for more than 1,300 bases before dissociating from its substrate in the absence of any accessory proteins. DNA helicase activity was not significantly stimulated by substrates that have the structure of a replication fork and contain either a 5' or 3' tail. Rep68 binds only to ssDNA, as judged by inhibition of the DNA helicase reaction with ss or double-stranded (ds) DNA. Consistent with this observation, no helicase activity was detected on blunt-ended ds oligonucleotide substrates unless they also contained an ss 3' tail. However, if a blunt-ended ds oligonucleotide contained the 22-bp Rep binding element sequence, Rep68 was capable of unwinding the substrate. This means that Rep68 can function both as a conventional helicase for strand displacement synthesis and as a terminal-repeat-unwinding protein which catalyzes the conversion of a duplex end to a hairpin primer. Thus, the properties of the Rep DNA helicase activity suggest that Rep is involved in all three of the key steps in AAV DNA replication: terminal resolution, reinitiation, and strand displacement."xsd:string
