The BTB/POZ domain: a new protein-protein interaction motif common to DNA- and actin-binding proteins.
The BTB/POZ domain defines a newly characterized protein-protein interaction interface. It is highly conserved throughout metazoan evolution and generally found at the NH2 terminus of either actin-binding or, more commonly, nuclear DNA-binding proteins. By mediating protein binding in large aggregates, the BTB/POZ domain serves to organize higher order macromolecular complexes involved in ring ...
متن کاملThe telobox, a Myb-related telomeric DNA binding motif found in proteins from yeast, plants and human.
The yeast TTAGGG binding factor 1 (Tbf1) was identified and cloned through its ability to interact with vertebrate telomeric repeats in vitro. We show here that a sequence of 60 amino acids located in its C-terminus is critical for DNA binding. This sequence exhibits homologies with Myb repeats and is conserved among five proteins from plants, two of which are known to bind telomeric-related se...
متن کاملA novel Arabidopsis DNA binding protein contains the conserved motif of HMG-box proteins.
We have isolated cDNA clones from a lambda gtll library of mRNA prepared from rosette plants of Arabidopsis thaUana to identify DNA binding proteins that bind to the promoter region of the desiccation-responsive rd29A gene (1, 2, 3). We used a 40 bp conserved sequence (3) in the promoter regions of rd29A and rd29B genes, which may contain enhancer-like sequence(s), as a probe for the screening....
متن کاملTwo helix DNA binding motif of CAP found in lac repressor and gal repressor.
Comparison of both the DNA and protein sequences of catabolite gene activator protein (CAP) with the sequences of lac and gal repressors shows significant homologies between a sequence that forms a two alpha-helix motif in CAP and sequences near the amino terminus of both repressors. This two-helix motif is thought to be involved in specific DNA sequence recognition by CAP. The region in lac re...
متن کاملA calmodulin binding protein from Arabidopsis is induced by ethylene and contains a DNA-binding motif.
Calmodulin (CaM), a key calcium sensor in all eukaryotes, regulates diverse cellular processes by interacting with other proteins. To isolate CaM binding proteins involved in ethylene signal transduction, we screened an expression library prepared from ethylene-treated Arabidopsis seedlings with 35S-labeled CaM. A cDNA clone, EICBP (Ethylene-Induced CaM Binding Protein), encoding a protein that...
