How Proteins Bind Macrocycles
The potential utility of synthetic macrocycles (MCs) as drugs, particularly against low-druggability targets such as protein-protein interactions, has been widely discussed. There is little information, however, to guide the design of MCs for good target protein-binding activity or bioavailability. To address this knowledge gap, we analyze the binding modes of a representative set of MC-protein...
متن کاملHow proteins bind to DNA: target discrimination and dynamic sequence search by the telomeric protein TRF1
Target search as performed by DNA-binding proteins is a complex process, in which multiple factors contribute to both thermodynamic discrimination of the target sequence from overwhelmingly abundant off-target sites and kinetic acceleration of dynamic sequence interrogation. TRF1, the protein that binds to telomeric tandem repeats, faces an intriguing variant of the search problem where target ...
متن کاملSterol regulatory element-binding proteins: transcriptional activators of lipid synthesis.
Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are a family of transcription factors that regulate lipid homoeostasis. Three SREBP isoforms control the expression of more than 30 genes required for the biosynthesis of cholesterol, fatty acids, triacylglycerols and phospholipids. The unique regulation and activation properties of each SREBP isoform facilitates the co-ordinate regulation of ...
متن کاملHelix-loop-helix transcriptional activators bind to a sequence in glucocorticoid response elements of retrovirus enhancers.
A family of nuclear proteins, designated SL3-3 enhancer factors 2 (SEF2), were found to interact with an Ephrussi box-like motif within the glucocorticoid response element in the enhancer of the murine leukemia virus SL3-3. Mutation of the DNA sequence decreased the basal enhancer activity in various cell lines. The important nucleotides for binding of SEF2 are conserved in most type C retrovir...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation: Kamikaze activators
Transcription factors are often targeted for rapid degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Recent evidence points to a correlation between the potency and instability of transcriptional activators, suggesting a possible direct role for ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in transcriptional activation.
