DNA sequence-specific recognition by a transcriptional regulator requires indirect readout of A-tracts
The bacteriophage Ø29 transcriptional regulator p4 binds to promoters of different intrinsic activities. The p4-DNA complex contains two identical protomers that make similar interactions with the target sequence 5'-AACTTTTT-15 bp-AAAATGTT-3'. To define how the various elements in the target sequence contribute to p4's affinity, we studied p4 binding to a series of mutated binding sites. The bi...
متن کاملIndirect readout in drug-DNA recognition: role of sequence-dependent DNA conformation
DNA-binding drugs have numerous applications in the engineered gene regulation. However, the drug-DNA recognition mechanism is poorly understood. Drugs can recognize specific DNA sequences not only through direct contacts but also indirectly through sequence-dependent conformation, in a similar manner to the indirect readout mechanism in protein-DNA recognition. We used a knowledge-based techni...
متن کاملReadOut: structure-based calculation of direct and indirect readout energies and specificities for protein–DNA recognition
Protein-DNA interactions play a central role in regulatory processes at the genetic level. DNA-binding proteins recognize their targets by direct base-amino acid interactions and indirect conformational energy contribution from DNA deformations and elasticity. Knowledge-based approach based on the statistical analysis of protein-DNA complex structures has been successfully used to calculate int...
متن کاملIndirect readout of DNA sequence by p22 repressor: roles of DNA and protein functional groups in modulating DNA conformation.
The repressor of bacteriophage P22 (P22R) discriminates between its various DNA binding sites by sensing the identity of non-contacted base pairs at the center of its binding site. The "indirect readout" of these non-contacted bases is apparently based on DNA's sequence-dependent conformational preferences. The structures of P22R-DNA complexes indicate that the non-contacted base pairs at the c...
متن کاملIndirect Readout in Drug-DNA Complexes
The gene expression control by DNA-binding drugs is of great interest in molecular biology and biotechnology. The ability of some drugs to switch on or off the gene expression brings the possibility to develop treatments for genetic diseases, infection by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or cancer. The analysis of the DNA sequence-dependent conformational energy gives hints for the design of DNAb...
