Binding of topotecan to a nicked DNA oligomer in solution.
Topotecan (TPT) is in clinical use as an antitumor agent. It acts by binding to the covalent complex formed between nicked DNA and topoisomerase I, and inserts itself into the single-strand nick, thereby inhibiting the religation of the nick and acting as a poison. A crystal structure analysis of the ternary complex has shown how the drug binds (B. L. Staker, K. Hjerrild, M. D. Feese, C. A. Beh...
متن کاملCooperativity: a competition of definitions
Cooperativity as a concept is easy to grasp intuitively, but surprisingly hard to define. Two recent papers shed light on the issue and continue the debate on how best to define cooperative binding.
متن کاملMoth chemosensory protein exhibits drastic conformational changes and cooperativity on ligand binding.
Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) have been proposed to transport hydrophobic chemicals from air to olfactory or taste receptors. They have been isolated from several sensory organs of a wide range of insect species. The x-ray structure of CSPMbraA6, a 112-aa antennal protein from the moth Mamestra brassicae (Mbra), was shown to exhibit a novel type of alpha-helical fold. We have performed a structu...
متن کاملQuantification of Cooperativity in Heterodimer-DNA Binding Improves the Accuracy of Binding Specificity Models.
Many transcription factors (TFs) have the ability to cooperate on DNA elements as heterodimers. Despite the significance of TF heterodimerization for gene regulation, a quantitative understanding of cooperativity between various TF dimer partners and its impact on heterodimer DNA binding specificity models is still lacking. Here, we used a novel integrative approach, combining microfluidics-ste...
متن کاملRAD50 protein of S.cerevisiae exhibits ATP-dependent DNA binding.
RAD50 function of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required during vegetative growth for recombinational repair of DNA double strand breaks, and during meiosis for initiation of meiotic recombination and formation of synaptonemal complex. RAD50 encodes a 153 kDa polypeptide which includes an amino-terminal ATP binding domain essential for function and two long heptad repeat regions. We show below th...
