VcDciA and EcDnaC loaders are functionally interchangeable in vitro. Biolayer interferometry (BLI) analysis using a biotinylated oligonucleotide (50 nucleotides) immobilized onto the surface of an SA-coated probe by its 3′ extremity (see Section 2). Association was performed with the indicated helicase at a concentration of 100 nM during 300 s in a buffer solution containing ATP and MgCl2. Dissociation was assessed in the same buffer for 600 s. Increasing loader concentrations (from 0 to 200 nM in subunits; blue to red) were analyzed. The experiments were carried out in duplicate; only one is presented.
