DNA target sequence identification mechanism for dimer-active protein complexes
Sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins must quickly and reliably localize specific target sites on DNA. This search process has been well characterized for monomeric proteins, but it remains poorly understood for systems that require assembly into dimers or oligomers at the target site. We present a single-molecule study of the target-search mechanism of protelomerase TelK, a recombinase-like p...
متن کاملSequence-Specific Capture of Protein-DNA Complexes for Mass Spectrometric Protein Identification
The regulation of gene transcription is fundamental to the existence of complex multicellular organisms such as humans. Although it is widely recognized that much of gene regulation is controlled by gene-specific protein-DNA interactions, there presently exists little in the way of tools to identify proteins that interact with the genome at locations of interest. We have developed a novel strat...
متن کاملDNA 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 کاملSpecific photocrosslinking of DNA-protein complexes: identification of contacts between integration host factor and its target DNA.
Azide moieties have been specifically placed in the backbone of DNA by chemical coupling between azidophenacyl bromide and uniquely positioned phosphorothioate residues. The derivatized DNA forms specific complexes with a DNA-binding protein and, following irradiation with 302-nm light, makes specific crosslinks to the protein. Isolation of this covalent complex, followed by tryptic digestion a...
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...
