Diversity and complexity in DNA recognition by transcription factors.
Sequence preferences of DNA binding proteins are a primary mechanism by which cells interpret the genome. Despite the central importance of these proteins in physiology, development, and evolution, comprehensive DNA binding specificities have been determined experimentally for only a few proteins. Here, we used microarrays containing all 10-base pair sequences to examine the binding specificiti...
متن کاملA New Similarity Measure among Protein Sequences
Protein sequence analysis is an important tool to decode the logic of life. One of the most important similarity measures in this area is the edit distance between amino acids of two sequences. We believe this criterion should be reconsidered because protein features are probably associated more with small peptide fragments than with individual amino acids. In this paper, we design small patter...
متن کاملDNA recognition code of transcription factors.
Introduction Over 35 years have passed since the ‘central dogma’ of molecular biology (DNA makes RNA makes protein) was proposed (Crick, 1958). Despite its remarkable verification, it is being seen increasingly as limited, for if the whole flow of information in a cell were unidirectional, all cells with the same complement of genetic material would have identical function and morphology. The t...
متن کاملStatistical detection of cooperative transcription factors with similarity adjustment
MOTIVATION Statistical assessment of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) is a crucial task in computational biology. Usually, one concludes from exceptional co-occurrences of DNA motifs that the corresponding transcription factors (TFs) are cooperative. However, similar DNA motifs tend to co-occur in random sequences due to high probability of overlapping occurrences. Therefore, it is important to co...
متن کاملIdentification and characterisation of Dof transcription factors in the cucumber genome.
Cucumber is vulnerable to many foliage diseases. Recent studies reported cloning of candidate genes for several diseases in cucumber; however, the exact defence mechanisms remain unclear. Dof genes have been shown to play significant roles in plant growth, development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Dof genes coding for plant-specific transcription factors can promote large-scale...
