Intermolecular and intramolecular readout mechanisms in protein-DNA recognition.
Protein-DNA recognition plays an essential role in the regulation of gene expression. Regulatory proteins are known to recognize specific DNA sequences directly through atomic contacts (intermolecular readout) and/or indirectly through the conformational properties of the DNA (intramolecular readout). However, little is known about the respective contributions made by these so-called direct and...
متن کاملAnalyzing DNA-protein interactions on a chip
Gene expression is regulated by multi-protein complexes binding to short non-coding regions of genomic DNA, called cisregulatory elements. A long-term goal of genomics is to identify and annotate all essential elements of the genome. Most coding elements of the genome have been identified and annotated; however, most regulatory elements have not. This chapter describes a method for the high thr...
متن کاملHIV-1 Integrase-DNA Recognition Mechanisms
Integration of a reverse transcribed DNA copy of the HIV viral genome into the host chromosome is essential for virus replication. This process is catalyzed by the virally encoded protein integrase. The catalytic activities, which involve DNA cutting and joining steps, have been recapitulated in vitro using recombinant integrase and synthetic DNA substrates. Biochemical and biophysical studies ...
متن کاملMEME: discovering and analyzing DNA and protein sequence motifs
MEME (Multiple EM for Motif Elicitation) is one of the most widely used tools for searching for novel 'signals' in sets of biological sequences. Applications include the discovery of new transcription factor binding sites and protein domains. MEME works by searching for repeated, ungapped sequence patterns that occur in the DNA or protein sequences provided by the user. Users can perform MEME s...
متن کاملDo water molecules mediate protein-DNA recognition?
A comprehensive analysis of interfacial water molecules in the structures of 109 unique protein-DNA complexes is presented together with a new view on their role in protein-DNA recognition. Location of interfacial water molecules as reported in the crystal structures and as emerging from a series of molecular dynamics studies on protein-DNA complexes with explicit solvent and counterions, was a...
