In vitro selection of integration host factor binding sites.
Integration host factor (IHF) is a bacterial protein that binds and severely bends a specific DNA target. IHF binding sites are approximately 30 to 35 bp long and are apparently divided into two domains. While the 3' domain is conserved, the 5' domain is degenerate but is typically AT rich. As a result of physical constraints that IHF must impose on DNA in order to bind, it is believed that thi...
متن کاملMechanical conversion of low-affinity Integration Host Factor binding sites into high-affinity sites
Although DNA is often bent in vivo, it is unclear how DNA-bending forces modulate DNAprotein binding affinity. Here, we report how a range of DNA-bending forces modulates the binding of the Integration Host Factor (IHF) protein to various DNAs. Using solution fluorimetry and electrophoretic mobility shift assays, we measured the affinity of IHF for DNAs with different bending forces and sequenc...
متن کاملStudies of In-Vitro Amlodipine and Arsenic Displacement Interaction at Binding Sites of Bovine Serum Albumin
In this study, the binding of amlodipine (a Ca ++ channel Blocker) and arsenic (metalloid) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by equilibrium dialysis(ED) method in order to have an insight into their binding chemistry to BSA. Free amlodipine concentration was increased due to addition of arsenic which reduced the binding of the compounds to BSA. However, the free fraction was not increa...
متن کاملThe effects of selection against spurious transcription factor binding sites.
Most genomes contain nucleotide sequences with no known function; such sequences are assumed to be free of constraints, evolving only according to the vagaries of mutation. Here we show that selection acts to remove spurious transcription factor binding site motifs throughout 52 fully sequenced genomes of Eubacteria and Archaea. Examining the sequences necessary for polymerase binding, we find ...
متن کاملA genomic-scale search for regulatory binding sites in the integration host factor regulon of Escherichia coli K12.
We examined general aspects of the DNA-protein interaction between the integration host factor (IHF) global regulator and its regulatory binding sites in the Escherichia coli K12 genome. Two models were developed with distinct weight matrices for the regulatory binding sites recognized by IHF. Using these matrices we performed a genome scale scan and built a set of computationally predicted bin...
