DNA replication efficiency depends on transcription factor-binding sites.
Naturally arising variants of simian virus 40 (SV40), generated by serial passage of the virus at high multiplicities of infection, provide important insight into the role of transcription factor-binding sites in enhancing DNA replication. Although the variants that arise from numerous recombination events are the result of selective pressure to replicate more efficiently than the other variant...
متن کاملEvolution of transcription factor DNA binding sites.
In bioinformatics, binding of transcription regulatory factors to the cognate binding sites is usually described by sequence-specific binding energy, which is estimated from a training sample of sites. This model implies that all binding sites with binding energy above some threshold are functional and site sequence variations should be considered neutral until they do not reduce this energy be...
متن کاملCpG Deamination Creates Transcription Factor–Binding Sites with High Efficiency
The formation of new transcription factor-binding sites (TFBSs) has a major impact on the evolution of gene regulatory networks. Clearly, single nucleotide mutations arising within genomic DNA can lead to the creation of TFBSs. Are molecular processes inducing single nucleotide mutations contributing equally to the creation of TFBSs? In the human genome, a spontaneous deamination of methylated ...
متن کاملTheory on the mechanism of rapid binding of transcription factor proteins at specific-sites on DNA
Theory on the rapid binding mechanism of DNA-protein interactions 2 ABSTRACT We develop revised theoretical ideas on the mechanism by which the transcription factor proteins locate their specific binding sites on DNA faster than the three-dimensional (3D) diffusion controlled rate limit. We demonstrate that the 3D-diffusion controlled rate limit can be enhanced when the protein molecule reads s...
متن کاملPseudocounts for transcription factor binding sites
To represent the sequence specificity of transcription factors, the position weight matrix (PWM) is widely used. In most cases, each element is defined as a log likelihood ratio of a base appearing at a certain position, which is estimated from a finite number of known binding sites. To avoid bias due to this small sample size, a certain numeric value, called a pseudocount, is usually allocated...
