DNA 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 کاملCombinatorial 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 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 کاملDNA binding specificity of the Mu Ner protein.
Binding of purified phage Mu Ner protein to a series of DNA fragments was investigated in order to determine the length requirements for tight specific binding. Gel retardation experiments with wild-type 307 base pair (bp) Mu DNA and shorter, synthetic oligonucleotides were performed, and apparent dissociation constants (KappD) were determined from the half-saturation point. While Ner formed fo...
متن کاملDNA specificity enhanced by sequential binding of protein monomers.
Transcriptional activation often requires the rapid assembly of complexes between dimeric transcription factors and specific DNA sites. Here we show that members of the basic region leucine zipper and basic region helix-loop-helix zipper transcription factor families follow an assembly pathway in which two protein monomers bind DNA sequentially and form their dimerization interface while bound ...
