DNA sequence-dependent deformability deduced from protein-DNA crystal complexes.
The deformability of double helical DNA is critical for its packaging in the cell, recognition by other molecules, and transient opening during biochemically important processes. Here, a complete set of sequence-dependent empirical energy functions suitable for describing such behavior is extracted from the fluctuations and correlations of structural parameters in DNA-protein crystal complexes....
متن کاملThe amino acid sequence of a crystal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis deduced from the DNA base sequence.
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 4222-base segment of DNA which contains the promoter, the coding region, and the terminator of a crystal protein gene cloned from a Bacillus thuringiensis plasmid. A sequence of 1176 amino acids encoding a Mr 133,500 peptide was deduced from the single open reading frame. This protein-coding region was analyzed for codon usage, predicted hydropath...
متن کاملSequence-dependent DNA deformability studied using molecular dynamics simulations
Proteins recognize specific DNA sequences not only through direct contact between amino acids and bases, but also indirectly based on the sequence-dependent conformation and deformability of the DNA (indirect readout). We used molecular dynamics simulations to analyze the sequence-dependent DNA conformations of all 136 possible tetrameric sequences sandwiched between CGCG sequences. The deforma...
متن کاملDynamics of DNA-protein interaction deduced from in vitro DNA evolution.
We report the first experimental study of the dynamics of in vitro evolution of DNA. Starting from a random pool of DNA sequences, we used cycles of selection (binding to the lac repressor protein), amplification, and mutations to evolve to a unique DNA sequence, the lac operator. Statistical analysis of the DNA sequences obtained during the cycles of evolution shows that the DNA bases are sele...
متن کاملProtein–DNA Complexes: Specific
Sequence-specific protein–DNA binding is a process fundamental to life on earth. From the identification of replication sites on the chromosome to the differential expression of genes during development, a multitude of sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins regulate the fundamental biochemical processes of life. Understanding how these different proteins are able to find and bind selectively to...
