Antirepression as a second mechanism of transcriptional activation by a minor groove binding protein.
Competence for genetic transformation in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis is a bistable differentiation process governed by the minor groove DNA binding protein ComK. No detectable comK transcription occurs in the absence of an intact comK gene, indicating that ComK has auto-activating properties. ComK auto-stimulation, which is dependent on ComK binding to the comK promoter, is a critical step ...
متن کاملScreening of a Protein That Interacts with the Matrix Attachment Region-Binding Protein from Dunaliella salina
We isolated the matrix attachment region-binding protein (MBP) DMBP-1 from Dunaliella salina in our previous studies. MBPs are part of the cis-acting protein family cluster. The regulatory function possibly works through the interaction of the MBPs with each other. In the present study, DMBP-1 was used as the bait in screening the D. salina cDNA library for DMBP-1 interactors that could potenti...
متن کاملEstablishment of lysogeny in bacteriophage 186. DNA binding and transcriptional activation by the CII protein.
The CII protein of bacteriophage 186 is a transcriptional activator of the helix-turn helix family required for establishment of the lysogenic state. DNA binding by 186 CII is unusual in that the invertedly repeated half sites are separated by 20 base pairs, or two turns of the DNA helix, rather than the one turn usually associated with this class of proteins. Here, we investigate quantitativel...
متن کاملAF-2-dependent potentiation of CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta-mediated transcriptional activation by glucocorticoid receptor.
We report glucocorticoid-dependent induction of transcription from the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene promoter proximal regulatory region in the absence of glucocorticoid response elements and independent of the ability of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to bind DNA. Examination of the thymidine kinase promoter localized glucocorticoid responsiveness to a binding site for CCAAT enhance...
متن کاملIncreased recruitment of TATA-binding protein to the promoter by transcriptional activation domains in vivo.
The rate at which the TATA-binding protein (TBP) interacts with the TATA element and promotes transcription by RNA polymerase II was determined in yeast cells. A TBP derivative with altered TATA-element specificity was rapidly induced, and transcription from promoters with appropriately mutated TATA elements was measured. Without a functional activator protein, basal transcription was observed ...
