Sequence-dependent sliding kinetics of p53.
Proper timing of gene expression requires that transcription factors (TFs) efficiently locate and bind their target sites within a genome. Theoretical studies have long proposed that one-dimensional sliding along DNA while simultaneously reading its sequence can accelerate TF's location of target sites. Sliding by prokaryotic and eukaryotic TFs were subsequently observed. More recent theoretica...
متن کاملOne-dimensional diffusion of Escherichia coli DNA-dependent RNA polymerase: a mechanism to facilitate promoter location.
The mechanism of promoter location by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase of Escherichia coli was investigated. The occupancies of DNA fragments carrying the A1 promoter of bacteriophage T7 were analyzed as a function of the length of flanking sequences adjacent to the promoter. Competition between the promoters on different fragments showed qualitatively that DNA sequences downstream of the promoter ...
متن کاملA Model of Sequence Dependent Rna-polymerase Diffusion along Dna
We introduce a probabilistic model for the RNA-polymerase sliding motion along DNA during the promoter search. The model accounts for possible effects due to sequence-dependent interactions between the nonspecific DNA and the enzyme. We focus on T7 RNA-polymerase and exploit the available information about its interaction at the promoter site in order to investigate the influence of bacteriopha...
متن کاملA model of sequence-dependent protein diffusion along DNA.
We introduce a probabilistic model for protein sliding motion along DNA during the search of a target sequence. The model accounts for possible effects due to sequence-dependent interaction between the nonspecific DNA and the protein. Hydrogen bonds formed at the target site are used as the main sequence-dependent interaction between protein and DNA. The resulting dynamical properties and the p...
متن کاملModeling the sequence-dependent diffusion coefficients of short DNA molecules.
A boundary element model for the computation of sequence-dependent hydrodynamic properties of short DNA molecules is introduced. The hydrated surface is modeled as a curved tube of uniform radius with ends capped by hemispheres, and the axis of the tube is a general space curve whose length and curvature are determined locally by the sequence using a rigid basepair model of double-helical DNA w...
