Base-sequence-dependent sliding of proteins on DNA.
The possibility that the sliding motion of proteins on DNA is influenced by the base sequence through a base pair reading interaction, is considered. Referring to the case of the T7 RNA-polymerase, we show that the protein should follow a noise-influenced sequence-dependent motion which deviate from the standard random walk usually assumed. The general validity and the implications of the resul...
متن کاملA sequence-dependent rigid-base model of DNA.
A novel hierarchy of coarse-grain, sequence-dependent, rigid-base models of B-form DNA in solution is introduced. The hierarchy depends on both the assumed range of energetic couplings, and the extent of sequence dependence of the model parameters. A significant feature of the models is that they exhibit the phenomenon of frustration: each base cannot simultaneously minimize the energy of all o...
متن کاملSequence-dependent base pair opening in DNA double helix.
Preservation of genetic information in DNA relies on shielding the nucleobases from damage within the double helix. Thermal fluctuations lead to infrequent events of the Watson-Crick basepair opening, or DNA "breathing", thus making normally buried groups available for modification and interaction with proteins. Fluctuational basepair opening implies the disruption of hydrogen bonds between the...
متن کاملSequence-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 کاملSequence - dependent on formation of DNA Duplexes
The nonexchangeable base and sugar protons of the octanucleotide d(G-G-A-A-T-T-C-C) have been assigned by two-dimensional correlated (COSY) and nuclear Overhauser effect (NOESY) methods in aqueous solution. The assignments are based on distance connectivities of 4 . 5 A established from NOE effects between base and sugar protons on the same strand and occasionally between strands, aswell as,...
