Pif1 is a molecular motor enzyme that is conserved from yeast to mammals. It translocates on ssDNA with a directional bias (5' → 3') and unwinds duplexes using the energy obtained from ATP hydrolysis. Pif1 is involved in dsDNA break repair, resolution of G-quadruplex (G4) structures, negative regulation of telomeres, and Okazaki fragment maturation. An important property of this helicase is to exert force and disrupt protein-DNA complexes, which may otherwise serve as barriers to various cellular pathways. Previously, Pif1 was reported to displace streptavidin from biotinylated DNA, Rap1 from telomeric DNA, and telomerase from DNA ends. Here, we have investigated the ability of S. cerevisiae Pif1 helicase to disrupt protein barriers from G4 and telomeric sites. Yeast chromatin-associated transcription coactivator Sub1 was characterized as a G4 binding protein. We found evidence for a physical interaction between Pif1 helicase and Sub1 protein. Here, we demonstrate that Pif1 is capable of catalyzing the disruption of Sub1-bound G4 structures in an ATP-dependent manner. We also investigated Pif1-mediated removal of yeast telomere-capping protein Cdc13 from DNA ends. Cdc13 exhibits a high-affinity interaction with an 11-mer derived from the yeast telomere sequence. Our results show that Pif1 uses its translocase activity to enhance the dissociation of this telomere-specific protein from its binding site. The rate of dissociation increased with an increase in the helicase loading site length. Additionally, we examined the biochemical mechanism for Pif1-catalyzed protein displacement by mutating the sequence of the telomeric 11-mer on the 5'-end and the 3'-end. The results support a model whereby Pif1 disrupts Cdc13 from the ssDNA in steps.
