How DNA-repair proteins find their targets.
G enomic DNA is subject to damage at such high frequencies that only with efficient DNArepair pathways genomic stability is maintained. Research efforts of many groups over several decades have revealed the salient properties of the various DNA-repair mechanisms, but it has largely remained unclear how damage sites are localized in genomic DNA. In PNAS, Gorman et al. (1) unveil insights into th...

متن کاملHow proteins search for their specific sites on DNA: the role of DNA conformation.
It is known since the early days of molecular biology that proteins locate their specific targets on DNA up to two orders-of-magnitude faster than the Smoluchowski three-dimensional diffusion rate. An accepted explanation of this fact is that proteins are nonspecifically adsorbed on DNA, and sliding along DNA provides for the faster one-dimensional search. Surprisingly, the role of DNA conforma...
متن کاملDNA-epoxyceliulose to sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins
Phage A DNA was covalently coupled to epoxy-activated cellulose to form a stable DNA-cellulose matrix for affinity chromatography of sequence-specific DNAbinding proteins. The accessibility of three specific six-base sequences, GGATCC (BamHI), GAATTC (EcoRI) and AAGCTT (HindIII) was studied quantitatively and qualitatively by restriction analysis followed by labelling of their recessed ends. Al...
متن کاملHow do site-speci®c DNA-binding proteins ®nd their targets?
Essentially all the biological functions of DNA depend on site-speci®c DNA-binding proteins ®nding their targets, and therefore `searching' through megabases of non-target DNA. In this article, we review current understanding of how this sequence searching is done. We review how simple diffusion through solution may be unable to account for the rapid rates of association observed in experiments...
