DrrC is a DNA-binding protein of Streptomyces peucetius that provides self-resistance against daunorubicin, the antibiotic produced by the organism. DrrC was expressed in E.coli and purified by using N-terminal MBP-tag which retained DNA-binding property in spite of the tag. Mobility shift assay confirmed the interaction of 313bp DNA that has the dnrI promoter, daunorubicin and MBP-DrrC in the presence of ATP. Biotinylated and immobilized 313bp DNA was intercalated with daunorubicin to observe the release of the drug when MBP-DrrC is allowed to act on the DNA. The release of daunorubicin was recorded by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The experiments proved that daunorubicin was released from DNA in the presence of MBP-DrrC. Fluorescence emission of daunorubicin had a maximum peak at 591nm. However, emission spectrum of released daunorubicin showed hypochromism with a maximum peak at 584nm that is possibly because it is in complex with MBP-DrrC. We propose that DrrC naturally binds at intercalated sites to eject daunorubicin; in the process both drug and protein are dislodged from DNA. Like UvrA, DrrC possibly scans the DNA for intercalated daunorubicin. When it encounters daunorubicin, DrrC dislodges it, thereby allowing DNA replication and transcription to go on unhindered. Thus a novel self resistance mechanism by DNA repair is mediated by DrrC.
