DNA sequence specificity of a naphthylquinoline triple helix-binding ligand.
We have examined the effect of a naphthylquinoline triplex-binding ligand on the formation of intermolecular triplexes on DNA fragments containing the target sites A6G6xC6T6 and G6A6xT6C6. The ligand enhances the binding of T6C2, but not T2C6, to A6G6xC6T6 suggesting that it has a greater effect on TxAT than C+xGC triplets. The complex with T6C2 is only stable below pH 6.0, confirming the requi...
متن کاملDNA-binding specificity of mutant glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding domains.
Mutation of a small number of amino acids in the DNA-binding domain of the estrogen receptor to the corresponding sequence of the glucocorticoid receptor switches the specificity of the receptor in transactivation assays (Mader, S., Kumar, V., de Verneuil, H., and Chambon, P. (1989) Nature 338, 271-274). We have made the corresponding reciprocal mutations in the context of the glucocorticoid re...
متن کاملSequence specificity of single-stranded DNA-binding proteins: a novel DNA microarray approach
We have developed a novel DNA microarray-based approach for identification of the sequence-specificity of single-stranded nucleic-acid-binding proteins (SNABPs). For verification, we have shown that the major cold shock protein (CspB) from Bacillus subtilis binds with high affinity to pyrimidine-rich sequences, with a binding preference for the consensus sequence, 5'-GTCTTTG/T-3'. The sequence ...
متن کاملSequence specificity of the core-binding factor.
The core-binding factor (CBF) binds the conserved core motif in mammalian type C retrovirus enhancers. We analyzed the phosphate contacts made by CBF on the Moloney murine leukemia virus enhancer by ethylation interference assay. The phosphate contacts span 9 bp centered around the consensus core site. To examine the sequence preferences for CBF binding, we employed the technique of selected an...
متن کاملThe sequence specificity of homeodomain-DNA interaction.
The Drosophila developmental gene, engrailed, encodes a sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Using deletion constructs expressed as fusion proteins in E. coli, we localized this activity to the conserved homeodomain (HD). The binding site consensus, TCAATTAAAT, is found in clusters in the engrailed regulatory region. Weak binding of the En HD to one copy of a synthetic consensus is enhanced ...
