Combinatorial bZIP dimers display complex DNA-binding specificity landscapes
How transcription factor dimerization impacts DNA-binding specificity is poorly understood. Guided by protein dimerization properties, we examined DNA binding specificities of 270 human bZIP pairs. DNA interactomes of 80 heterodimers and 22 homodimers revealed that 72% of heterodimer motifs correspond to conjoined half-sites preferred by partnering monomers. Remarkably, the remaining motifs are...
متن کاملDNA binding specificity of the wheat bZIP protein EmBP-1.
EmBP-1 is a wheat DNA binding protein of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) class of transcription factors implicated in the mechanisms of abscisic acid mediated gene activation. Understanding the role of EmBP-1 in regulating gene transcription requires elucidation of its DNA binding specificity. The binding of EmBP-1 was studied using gel shift selection of DNA from random sequence pools. DNA bin...
متن کاملSpecificity landscapes of DNA binding molecules elucidate biological function.
Evaluating the specificity spectra of DNA binding molecules is a nontrivial challenge that hinders the ability to decipher gene regulatory networks or engineer molecules that act on genomes. Here we compare the DNA sequence specificities for different classes of proteins and engineered DNA binding molecules across the entire sequence space. These high-content data are visualized and interpreted...
متن کاملDimerization specificity of the leucine zipper-containing bZIP motif on DNA binding: prediction and rational design.
We propose an interhelical salt bridge rule to explain the dimerization specificity between the two amphipathic alpha-helices in the leucine zipper structure. Using the bZIP class of DNA-binding proteins as a model system, we predicted and designed novel dimerization partners. We predicted that ATF4, a member of the ATF/CREB family of transcription factors, would preferentially form heterodimer...
متن کاملNon-DNA-binding cofactors enhance DNA-binding specificity of a transcriptional regulatory complex
Recruitment of cofactors to specific DNA sites is integral for specificity in gene regulation. As a model system, we examined how targeting and transcriptional control of the sulfur metabolism genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is governed by recruitment of the transcriptional co-activator Met4. We developed genome-scale approaches to measure transcription factor (TF) DNA-binding affinities and ...
