DNA-binding specificity of GATA family transcription factors.
GATA-binding proteins constitute a family of transcription factors that recognize a target site conforming to the consensus WGATAR (W = A or T and R = A or G). Here we have used the method of polymerase chain reaction-mediated random site selection to assess in an unbiased manner the DNA-binding specificity of GATA proteins. Contrary to our expectations, we show that GATA proteins bind a variet...
متن کاملHigh-resolution DNA-binding specificity analysis of yeast transcription factors.
Transcription factors (TFs) regulate the expression of genes through sequence-specific interactions with DNA-binding sites. However, despite recent progress in identifying in vivo TF binding sites by microarray readout of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-chip), nearly half of all known yeast TFs are of unknown DNA-binding specificities, and many additional predicted TFs remain uncharacterize...
متن کاملStructural insights into the DNA-binding specificity of E2F family transcription factors
The mammalian cell cycle is controlled by the E2F family of transcription factors. Typical E2Fs bind to DNA as heterodimers with the related dimerization partner (DP) proteins, whereas the atypical E2Fs, E2F7 and E2F8 contain two DNA-binding domains (DBDs) and act as repressors. To understand the mechanism of repression, we have resolved the structure of E2F8 in complex with DNA at atomic resol...
متن کاملRole of the GATA family of transcription factors in andrology.
Understanding how genes get turned on or off is central to the study of biological processes in both health and disease. Several regulatory mechanisms, which can be positive or negative, have been implicated in the control of tissueand cell-specific gene expression. These include modulation of chromatin structure, DNA methylation, and the regulation of transcription and translation. Transcripti...
متن کاملThe GATA family of transcription factors in Arabidopsis and rice.
GATA transcription factors are a group of DNA binding proteins broadly distributed in eukaryotes. The GATA factors DNA binding domain is a class IV zinc finger motif in the form CX(2)CX(17-20)CX(2)C followed by a basic region. In plants, GATA DNA motifs have been implicated in light-dependent and nitrate-dependent control of transcription. Herein, we show that the Arabidopsis and the rice (Oryz...
