Distinguishable patterns of protein-DNA interactions involving complexes of basic helix-loop-helix proteins.
Myogenic factors and TAL1 possess distinguishable DNA binding characteristics when they form a complex with basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins of class A. These characteristics were evident in electrophoretic mobility shift assays showing that complexes of myogenic factors and HTF4 displayed a relatively high affinity for the enhancer in the muscle creatine kinase gene, whereas TAL1 appeare...
متن کاملNikR is a ribbon-helix-helix DNA-binding protein.
Escherichia coli NikR, a repressor with homologs in other bacteria and archaea, was identified as a potential new member of the ribbon-helix-helix (beta-alpha-alpha) family of transcription factors in profile based sequence searches and in structure prediction experiments. Biophysical and biochemical characterization of the N-terminal domain of NikR show that it has many features expected of a ...
متن کاملId2 promotes apoptosis by a novel mechanism independent of dimerization to basic helix-loop-helix factors.
Members of the helix-loop-helix (HLH) family of Id proteins have demonstrated roles in the regulation of differentiation and cell proliferation. Id proteins inhibit differentiation by HLH-mediated heterodimerization with basic HLH transcription factors. This blocks their sequence-specific binding to DNA and activation of target genes that are often expressed in a tissue-specific manner. Id prot...
متن کاملID 4 ( inhibitor of DNA binding 4 , dominant negative helix - loop - helix protein )
ID4 is one of the members of the ID gene family: "Inhibitors of DNA binding". They are transcription factors which act as transcription inhibitory proteins. They are basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins which contain the bHLH dimerization domain, but lack the DNA binding domain. They are able to form heterodimers with other bHLH proteins, but inhibit the DNA binding, inactivating the process....
متن کاملPancreatic beta-cell-type-specific transcription of the insulin gene is mediated by basic helix-loop-helix DNA-binding proteins.
The pancreatic beta-cell-specific expression of the insulin gene is mediated, at least in part, by the interaction of unique trans-acting beta-cell factors with a cis-acting DNA element found within the insulin enhancer (5'-GC CATCTG-3'; referred to as the insulin control element [ICE]) present in the rat insulin II gene between positions -100 and -91. This sequence element contains the consens...
