Temperature-sensitive protein-DNA dimerizers.
Programmable DNA-binding polyamides coupled to short peptides have led to the creation of synthetic artificial transcription factors. A hairpin polyamide-YPWM tetrapeptide conjugate facilitates the binding of a natural transcription factor Exd to an adjacent DNA site. Such small molecules function as protein-DNA dimerizers that stabilize complexes at composite DNA binding sites. Here we investi...
متن کاملCorrecting temperature-sensitive protein folding defects.
Recently, we found that different low molecular weight compounds, all known to stabilize proteins in their native conformation, are effective in correcting the temperature-sensitive protein folding defect associated with the deltaF508 cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) protein. Here we examined whether the folding of other proteins which exhibit temperature-sensitive folding defects...
متن کاملInduction of DNA synthesis and apoptosis by regulated inactivation of a temperature-sensitive retinoblastoma protein.
The retinoblastoma protein, pRb, controls entry into the S phase of the cell cycle and acts as a tumor suppressor in many tissues. Re-introduction of pRb into tumor cells lacking this protein results in growth arrest, due in part to transcriptional repression of genes required for S phase. Several studies suggest that pRb may also be involved in terminal cell cycle exit as a result of the insti...
متن کاملThe Sensitive Side of Protein-dna Interactions
Two groups describe unique methods to sensitively and quantitatively investigate protein-DNA interactions in vitro. A plethora of tools exists to probe protein-DNA interactions, each one with its own strengths and weaknesses. The sensitivity and specificity of the methods, however, are crucial considerations when attempting to draw quantitative conclusions about binding affinity. Two recent pap...
متن کاملTemperature-sensitive replication of H5ts125 adenovirus DNA in vitro.
A soluble adenovirus DNA replication system has been prepared in extracts of HeLa cells infected with the temperature-sensitive mutant H5ts125. These nuclear extracts synthesize full-sized viral DNA at 30 degrees but are temperature sensitive in this function at 38 degrees. A 72,000-dalton DNA-binding protein purified from cells infected with wild-type virus complements the temperature-sensitiv...
