Mechanism of high-mobility group protein B enhancement of progesterone receptor sequence-specific DNA binding
The DNA-binding domain (DBD) of progesterone receptor (PR) is bipartite containing a zinc module core that interacts with progesterone response elements (PRE), and a short flexible carboxyl terminal extension (CTE) that interacts with the minor groove flanking the PRE. The chromosomal high-mobility group B proteins (HMGB), defined as DNA architectural proteins capable of bending DNA, also funct...
متن کاملThe high mobility group protein 1 enhances binding of the estrogen receptor DNA binding domain to the estrogen response element.
We have examined the ability of the high-mobility group protein 1 (HMG1) to alter binding of the estrogen receptor DNA-binding domain (DBD) to the estrogen response element (ERE). HMG1 dramatically enhanced binding of purified, bacterially expressed DBD to the consensus vitellogenin A2 ERE in a dose-dependent manner. The ability of HMG1 to stabilize the DBD-ERE complex resulted in part from a d...
متن کاملNeuroinflammation in Autism Spectrum Disorders: the Role of High Mobility Group Box 1 Protein
The pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) likely involves genetic and environmental factors, impacting the complex neurodevelopmental and behavioral abnormalities of the disorder. Scientific researches emerging within the past two decades suggest that immune dysfunction and inflammation have pathogenic influences through different mechanisms, all leading to both a chronic state of low ...
متن کاملLocalization of the binding region of high mobility group protein 2 to cisplatin-damaged DNA.
Cisplatin (CDDP) is an effective cancer chemotherapeutic drug used in the treatment of several human malignancies. The effectiveness of cisplatin therapy is limited by intrinsic resistance of tumors to this drug as well as the development of secondary tumors, which are also drug resistant. A potential mechanism influencing the sensitivity of cells to CDDP may result from the interaction of spec...
متن کاملA Polycomb group protein complex with sequence-specific DNA-binding and selective methyl-lysine-binding activities.
Polycomb response elements (PREs) are specific cis-regulatory sequences needed for transcriptional repression of HOX and other target genes by Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. Among the many PcG proteins known in Drosophila, Pho is the only sequence-specific DNA-binding protein. To gain insight into the function of Pho, we purified Pho protein complexes from Drosophila embryos and found that Pho ...
