Chemical modification of lactose repressor protein using N-substituted maleimides.
Lactose repressor protein has been modified with N-ethylmaleimide, two N-maleimide spin labels, and an N-maleimide fluorophore. The reaction with repressor cysteine residues has been characterized. Approximately 2 of the 3 eq of cysteine/repressor monomer are reactive toward these reagents. Repressor cysteines are reactive toward these reagents in the order cysteine 140 greater than or equal to...
متن کاملChemical modification of ribonucleic acid polymerase with N-bromosuccinimide.
The mechanism of specific interaction between a protein and a nucleic acid is thought to reside partially in the arrangement and types of amino acid present in the protein. Attempts have been made to assign specific roles in this interaction to certain amino acids, for example, tryptophan and tyrosine are thought to be involved in unwinding the double helix of DNA (Brun et al., 1975), and in se...
متن کاملCharacterization of mutations in oligomerization domain of Lac repressor protein.
A series of mutant lac repressor proteins at positions 281 or 282 was isolated for detailed characterization. Although Cys281 modification by sulfhydryl reagents abrogates pH effects on inducer binding and diminishes operator binding (Daly, T. J., Olson, J. S., and Matthews, K. S. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 5468-5474), substitution at this site by alanine, serine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, or met...
متن کاملIsolation of the lac repressor.
The realization that the synthesis of proteins is often under the control of repressorsl' 2 has posed a central question in molecular biology: What is the nature of the controlling substances? The scheme of negative control proposed by Jacob and Mionod envisages that certain genes, regulatory genes, make products that can act through the cytoplasm to prevent-the functioning of other genes. Thes...
متن کاملRadiosensitivity of DNA in a specific protein-DNA complex: the lac repressor-lac operator complex.
PURPOSE To calculate the probability of radiation-induced frank strand breakage (FSB) at each nucleotide in the Escherichia coli lac repressor-lac operator system using a simulation procedure. To compare calculated and experimental results. To asses the contribution of DNA conformational changes and of the masking by the protein to DNA protection by the repressor. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two st...
