Isolation and properties of the complex between the enhancer binding protein NIFA and the sensor NIFL.
In Azotobacter vinelandii, activation of nif gene expression by the transcriptional regulatory enhancer binding protein NIFA is controlled by the sensor protein NIFL in response to changes in levels of oxygen and fixed nitrogen in vivo. NIFL is a novel redox-sensing flavoprotein which is also responsive to adenosine nucleotides in vitro. Inhibition of NIFA activity by NIFL requires stoichiometr...
متن کاملProtein-protein interactions in the complex between the enhancer binding protein NIFA and the sensor NIFL from Azotobacter vinelandii.
The enhancer binding protein NIFA and the sensor protein NIFL from Azotobacter vinelandii comprise an atypical two-component regulatory system in which signal transduction occurs via complex formation between the two proteins rather than by the phosphotransfer mechanism, which is characteristic of orthodox systems. The inhibitory activity of NIFL towards NIFA is stimulated by ADP binding to the...
متن کاملComplex formation with the fibroin gene enhancer through a protein-protein interaction analyzed by a modified DNA-binding assay.
The distal upstream region of the fibroin gene, -238 to -73, is known to contain the cis-acting element(s) responsible for tissue-specific transcription enhancement in vitro. To identify factor(s) trans-acting on this region, we have developed a modified nitrocellulose blot protein-DNA binding procedure that detects DNA-protein complexes via protein-protein interaction. A protein that does not ...
متن کاملImpaired proliferation and tumorigenicity induced by CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein.
A plasmid containing the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP alpha) gene transcriptionally controlled by the metallothionein promoter was constructed. The gene was transfected into the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines Hep3B and HepG2. When cultured in vitro in the presence of 100 microM ZnSO(4), C/EBP alpha expression caused reversible growth arrest. In soft agar clonogenic assays, C...
متن کاملRegulation of Id2 expression by CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β
Mice deficient for Id2, a negative regulator of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, exhibit a defect in lactation due to impaired lobuloalveolar development during pregnancy, similar to the mice lacking the CCAAT enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) beta. Here, we show that Id2 is a direct target of C/EBPbeta. Translocation of C/EBPbeta into the nucleus, which was achieved by using...
