DNA-binding properties of nuclear matrix proteins.
Mouse nuclear matrix proteins, examined by a filter assay, were found to bind to DNA. There was no preference for homologous mouse compared to heterologous E. coli DNA. Competition assays showed a preference for AT-rich DNA and of the 4 single-stranded homopolymers there was a preference for poly(dT). These observations are consistent with the possibility that the matrix may play a role in the ...
متن کاملThe matrix attachment region-binding protein SATB1 participates in negative regulation of tissue-specific gene expression.
The nuclear matrix has been implicated in several cellular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing. In particular, transcriptional regulation is believed to be accomplished by binding of chromatin loops to the nuclear matrix and by the concentration of specific transcription factors near these matrix attachment regions (MARs). A number of MAR-binding proteins hav...
متن کاملCC1, a novel crenarchaeal DNA binding protein.
The genomes of the related crenarchaea Pyrobaculum aerophilum and Thermoproteus tenax lack any obvious gene encoding a single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB). SSBs are essential for DNA replication, recombination, and repair and are found in all other genomes across the three domains of life. These two archaeal genomes also have only one identifiable gene encoding a chromatin protein (the Al...
متن کاملA novel PF/PN motif inhibits nuclear localization and DNA binding activity of the ESX1 homeoprotein.
Despite their significance for mammalian embryogenesis, the molecular mechanisms that regulate placental growth and development have not been well defined. The Esx1 homeobox gene is of particular interest because it is among the few regulatory genes that have specific expression and function in the placenta during murine development. In addition, the ESX1 protein contains several notable featur...
متن کاملNovel DNA-binding element within the C-terminal extension of the nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain
The heterodimer of the ecdysone receptor (EcR) and ultraspiracle (Usp), members of the nuclear receptors superfamily, is considered as the functional receptor for ecdysteroids initiating molting and metamorphosis in insects. Here we report the 1.95 A structure of the complex formed by the DNA-binding domains (DBDs) the EcR and the Usp, bound to the natural pseudopalindromic response element. Co...
