The Swi5 zinc-finger and Grf10 homeodomain proteins bind DNA cooperatively at the yeast HO promoter.
SWI5 encodes a zinc-finger protein required for expression of the yeast HO gene. Using Swi5 protein that was purified from a bacterial expression system, we previously isolated a yeast factor that stimulates binding of Swi5 to the HO promoter. N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis identified the Swi5 stimulatory factor as the product of the GRF10 gene, which encodes a yeast homeodomain protei...
متن کاملDNA bending by negative regulatory proteins: Gal and Lac repressors.
The ability of two negative regulatory proteins, Gal and Lac repressors, to induce DNA bending was tested by the respective cloning of gal and lac operator DNA sequences into a sensitive vector, pBend2. pBend2 can generate a large number of DNA fragments in each of which a cloned operator is present in circularly permuted positions along the length of the DNA. Gel electrophoresis of these DNA f...
متن کاملRepression of the yeast HO gene by the MATalpha2 and MATa1 homeodomain proteins.
The HO gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is regulated by a large and complex promoter that is similar to promoters in higher order eukaryotes. Within this promoter are 10 potential binding sites for the a1-alpha2 heterodimer, which represses HO and other haploid-specific genes in diploid yeast cells. We have determined that a1-alpha2 binds to these sites with differing affinity, and that while c...

متن کاملElectrostatic mechanism for DNA bending by bZIP proteins.
Biology is replete with examples of protein-induced DNA bending, yet the forces responsible for bending have been neither established nor quantified. Mirzabekov and Rich proposed in 1979 that asymmetric neutralization of the anionic phosphodiester backbone by basic histone proteins could provide a thermodynamic driving force for DNA bending in the nucleosome core particle [Mirzabekov, A. D., & ...
