Carbene footprinting accurately maps binding sites in protein–ligand and protein–protein interactions
Specific interactions between proteins and their binding partners are fundamental to life processes. The ability to detect protein complexes, and map their sites of binding, is crucial to understanding basic biology at the molecular level. Methods that employ sensitive analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry have the potential to provide valuable insights with very little material and o...
متن کامل"Ultraviolet footprinting" accurately maps sequence-specific contacts and DNA kinking in the EcoRI endonuclease-DNA complex.
The "UV footprinting" technique has been used to detect contacts between EcoRI endonuclease and its recognition sequence at single nucleotide resolution. Comparison of the UV-footprinting results to the published crystal structure of the EcoRI endonuclease-DNA complex allows us to determine how UV light detects protein-DNA contacts. We find that kinking of the DNA helix in the complex greatly e...
متن کاملPhylogenetic footprinting of transcription factor binding sites in proteobacterial genomes.
Toward the goal of identifying complete sets of transcription factor (TF)-binding sites in the genomes of several gamma proteobacteria, and hence describing their transcription regulatory networks, we present a phylogenetic footprinting method for identifying these sites. Probable transcription regulatory sites upstream of Escherichia coli genes were identified by cross-species comparison using...
متن کاملRNase footprinting to map sites of RNA-protein interactions.
The binding of a protein to an RNA sequence protects that the region of the RNA from ribonuclease (RNase) digestion; this protected region is known as the protein's "footprint." In this protocol, end-labeled RNAs with and without bound protein are digested with RNase, and the products of digestion are analyzed by gel electrophoresis on denaturing polyacrylamide gels. If the experiment is perfor...
متن کاملProbing RNA structure and metal-binding sites using terbium(III) footprinting.
The function of an RNA molecule is determined by its overall secondary and tertiary structure. The tertiary structure is facilitated and stabilized by the interaction with metal ions. The current chapter offers a detailed protocol on the use of the lanthanide metal ion terbium(III) as a powerful probe of RNA structure and metal-binding properties. When incubating RNA with low (micromolar) conce...
