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...

Structure-Function Relationship in DNA Sequence Recognition by Transcription Factors

Transcription factors play essential role in the gene regulation in higher organisms, binding to multiple target sequences and regulating multiple genes in a complex manner. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of target recognition, and to predict target genes for transcription factors at the genome level, it is important to analyze the relationship between the structure and function...

DNA 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...
