Building an automated classification of DNA-binding protein domains
Intensive growth in 3D structure data on DNA-protein complexes as reflected in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) demands new approaches to the annotation and characterization of these data and will lead to a new understanding of critical biological processes involving these data. These data and those from other protein structure classifications will become increasingly important for the modeling of c...
متن کاملECOD: An Evolutionary Classification of Protein Domains
Understanding the evolution of a protein, including both close and distant relationships, often reveals insight into its structure and function. Fast and easy access to such up-to-date information facilitates research. We have developed a hierarchical evolutionary classification of all proteins with experimentally determined spatial structures, and presented it as an interactive and updatable o...
متن کاملFunctional Evolution of BRCT Domains from Binding DNA to Protein
The BRCT domain (BRCA1 C-terminal domain) is an important signaling and protein targeting motif in the DNA damage response system. The BRCT domain, which mainly occurs as a singleton (single BRCT) or tandem pair (double BRCT), contains a phosphate-binding pocket that can bind the phosphate from either the DNA end or a phosphopeptide. In this work, we performed a database search, phylogeny recon...
متن کاملFused protein domains inhibit DNA binding by LexA.
Many studies of transcription activation employ fusions of activation domains to DNA binding domains derived from the bacterial repressor LexA and the yeast activator GAL4. Such studies often implicitly assume that DNA binding by the chimeric proteins is equivalent to that of the protein donating the DNA binding moiety. To directly investigate this issue, we compared operator binding by a serie...
متن کاملDNA-binding specificity of mutant glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding domains.
Mutation of a small number of amino acids in the DNA-binding domain of the estrogen receptor to the corresponding sequence of the glucocorticoid receptor switches the specificity of the receptor in transactivation assays (Mader, S., Kumar, V., de Verneuil, H., and Chambon, P. (1989) Nature 338, 271-274). We have made the corresponding reciprocal mutations in the context of the glucocorticoid re...
