Z-DNA-binding proteins can act as potent effectors of gene expression in vivo.
The role of Z-DNA-binding proteins in vivo is explored in yeast. A conformation-specific yeast one-hybrid system is made in which formation of Z-DNA is studied near a minimal promoter site where it can be stabilized by negative supercoiling in addition to protein binding. Experiments were carried out with a Z-DNA-binding protein domain from the editing enzyme, double-stranded RNA adenosine deam...
متن کاملThe interplay of ubiquitous DNA-binding factors, availability of binding sites in the chromatin, and DNA methylation in the differential regulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene expression.
We have identified DNA elements in the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene promoter which are bound 'in vivo' by proteins under conditions of basal level gene expression and have evaluated several hypothesis to account for the tissue specific expression of the gene. In vitro DNase I footprinting demonstrated that factors which bind to basal expression elements of the PEPCK promoter, ...
متن کاملRNA-binding proteins as regulators of gene expression.
A plethora of post-transcriptional mechanisms are involved in essential steps in the pathway of genetic information expression in eukaryotes. These processes are specified by cis-acting signals on RNAs and are mediated by specific trans-acting factors, including RNA-binding proteins and small complementary RNAs. Recent information has begun to define the molecular mechanisms by which RNA-bindin...
متن کاملThe Regulation of Trypanosome Gene Expression by RNA-Binding Proteins
The genome organization of trypanosomes, leishmanias, and related kinetoplastid organisms is highly unusual: Each RNA polymerase II promoter precedes multiple open reading frames, and the primary transcript is cut into individual mRNAs by 59 trans splicing and 39 polyadenylation [1]. Dedicated control of transcription at the level of individual mRNAs is therefore not possible. Nevertheless, mRN...
متن کاملRNA Binding Proteins that Control Human Papillomavirus Gene Expression
The human papillomavirus (HPV) life cycle is strictly linked to the differentiation program of the infected mucosal epithelial cell. In the basal and lower levels of the epithelium, early genes coding for pro-mitotic proteins and viral replication factors are expressed, while terminal cell differentiation is required for activation of late gene expression and production of viral particles at th...
