Résumé
The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) process detects and corrects replication errors in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. In most bacteria, it is initiated by MutS detecting mismatches and MutL nicking the mismatch-containing DNA strand. Here, we show that MMR reduces the appearance of rifampicin resistances more than a 100-fold in the Caulobacter crescentus Alphaproteobacterium. Using fluorescently-tagged and functional MutS and MutL proteins, live cell microscopy experiments showed that MutS is usually associated with the replisome during the whole S-phase of the C. crescentus cell cycle, while MutL molecules may display a more dynamic association with the replisome. Thus, MMR components appear to use a 1D-scanning mode to search for rare mismatches, although the spatial association between MutS and the replisome is dispensible under standard growth conditions. Conversely, the spatial association of MutL with the replisome appears as critical for MMR in C. crescentus, suggesting a model where the β-sliding clamp licences the endonuclease activity of MutL right behind the replication fork where mismatches are generated. The spatial association between MMR and replisome components may also play a role in speeding up MMR and/or in recognizing which strand needs to be repaired in a variety of Alphaproteobacteria.
