A network of specific minor-groove contacts is a common characteristic of paired-domain-DNA interactions.
Pax proteins are a family of transcription factors conserved during evolution and able to bind specific DNA sequences through a domain called a "paired domain'. The DNA-binding specificity of the Pax-8 paired domain was investigated. Site-selection experiments indicate that Pax-8 binds to a consensus sequence similar to those bound by Pax-2 and Pax-5. When consensus sequences of various paired ...
متن کاملDNA ligases ensure fidelity by interrogating minor groove contacts.
DNA ligases, found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, covalently link the 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate ends of duplex DNA segments. This reaction represents a completion step for DNA replication, repair and recombination. It is well established that ligases are sensitive to mispairs present on the 3' side of the ligase junction, but tolerant of mispairs on the 5' side. While such discriminatio...
متن کاملSpecific minor groove solvation is a crucial determinant of DNA binding site recognition
The DNA sequence preferences of nearly all sequence specific DNA binding proteins are influenced by the identities of bases that are not directly contacted by protein. Discrimination between non-contacted base sequences is commonly based on the differential abilities of DNA sequences to allow narrowing of the DNA minor groove. However, the factors that govern the propensity of minor groove narr...
متن کاملProtein and drug interactions in the minor groove of DNA.
Interactions between proteins, drugs, water and B-DNA minor groove have been analyzed in crystal structures of 60 protein-DNA and 14 drug-DNA complexes. It was found that only purine N3, pyrimidine O2, guanine N2 and deoxyribose O4' are involved in the interactions, and that contacts to N3 and O2 are most frequent and more polar than contacts to O4'. Many protein contacts are mediated by water,...
