Chemical nucleases as probes for studying DNA-protein interactions.
Over the past fifteen years much research has been devoted to the mode(s) by which the linear DNA macromolecule communicates with cellular proteins in the course of genetic programming, thus determining the patterns of growth and development in living organisms. A plethora of proteins have been shown to interact non-covalently with DNA either as structural elements, exemplified by the histones ...
متن کاملRecurrent RNA motifs as probes for studying RNA-protein interactions in the ribosome
To understand how the nucleotide sequence of ribosomal RNA determines its tertiary structure, we developed a new approach for identification of those features of rRNA sequence that are responsible for formation of different short- and long-range interactions. The approach is based on the co-analysis of several examples of a particular recurrent RNA motif. For different cases of the motif, we de...
متن کاملA bacterial two-hybrid selection system for studying protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions.
We have developed a bacterial "two-hybrid" system that readily allows selection from libraries larger than 10(8) in size. Our bacterial system may be used to study either protein-DNA or protein-protein interactions, and it offers a number of potentially significant advantages over existing yeast-based one-hybrid and two-hybrid methods. We tested our system by selecting zinc finger variants (fro...
متن کاملChemical Probes for Protein N-terminal Methyltransferase
CHEMICAL PROBES FOR PROTEIN N-TERMINAL METHYLTRANSFERASE. Rong Huang, Gang Zhang, Yunfei Mao, & Stacie Lynn Richardson, Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Institute for Structural Biology and Drug Discovery, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond VA 23219. The objective of this study is to develop chemical probes for N-terminal RCC1 methyltransferase (NRMT1). NRMT transfers methyl groups fr...
متن کاملUracil-DNA glycosylase as a probe for protein--DNA interactions.
The DNA repair enzyme Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG) can be used to investigate three different features of protein-DNA interactions. Complexes can be probed by simple protection experiments ('footprinting') or by two kinds of interference assays: a missing thymine site (MT-site) experiment and a missing thymine methyl site (MTM-site) experiment. The three probing methods are assessed using the w...
