DNA binding specificity of different STAT proteins. Comparison of in vitro specificity with natural target sites.
STAT transcription factors are expressed in many cell types and bind to similar sequences. However, different STAT gene knock-outs show very distinct phenotypes. To determine whether differences between the binding specificities of STAT proteins account for these effects, we compared the sequences bound by STAT1, STAT5A, STAT5B, and STAT6. One sequence set was selected from random oligonucleoti...
متن کاملDifferent TRE-related elements are distinguished by sets of DNA-binding proteins with overlapping sequence specificity.
Several promoter elements with sequence similarity to the prototype TPA-responsive element (TRE) were compared by mobility-shift analyses. Activities within whole cell extracts were identified that bind to the TRE-like elements in the collagenase, the somatostatin, and the c-jun promoters. The corresponding factors appeared to differ in their degree of selectivity for these TRE-like sequences. ...
متن کاملThe DNA-binding specificity of SOX9 and other SOX proteins.
SOX (SRY-related HMG box) proteins are transcription factors that have critical roles in the regulation of numerous developmental processes. They share at least 50% homology in their HMG domains, which bind the DNA element AACAAT. How different SOX proteins achieve specific regulation of target genes is not known. We determined the DNA-binding specificity of SOX9 using a random oligonucleotide ...
متن کاملTowards computional specificity screening of DNA-binding proteins
DNA-binding proteins are key players in the regulation of gene expression and, hence, are essential for cell function. Chimeric proteins composed of DNA-binding domains and DNA modifying domains allow for precise genome manipulation. A key prerequisite is the specific recognition of a particular nucleotide sequence. Here, we quantitatively assess the binding affinity of DNA-binding proteins by ...
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...
