RNA polymerase I holoenzyme-promoter interactions.
In plants and animals, RNA polymerase I (pol I) can be purified in a form that is self-sufficient for accurate rRNA gene promoter-dependent transcription and that has biochemical properties suggestive of a single complex, or holoenzyme. In this study, we examined the promoter binding properties of a highly purified Brassica pol I holoenzyme activity. DNase I footprinting revealed protection of ...
متن کاملRNA polymerase-promoter interactions: the comings and goings of RNA polymerase.
Initiation of transcription is a complicated process involving several different phases: promoter location by RNA polymerase, formation of a competent initiation complex, synthesis of the initial phosphodiester bonds, and movement of RNA polymerase from the promoter as it enters the elongation phase; as shown below, further subdivisions may be warranted. The large number of different steps has ...
متن کاملMutation-induced changes in RNA polymerase-lac ps promoter interactions.
A composite rate assay has been applied to investigate the rate and mechanism of formation of open promoter complexes. Seven DNA templates were studied which were related to the lac ps promoter by single base pair changes in the -10 or -35 region of promoter sequence homology. These small changes induce a nearly 3 order of magnitude variation in the rate of open complex formation. This variatio...
متن کاملKinetics of RNA polymerase-promoter complex formation: effects of nonspecific DNA-protein interactions
The rates of formation of RNA polymerase-promoter open complexes at the galactose P2 and lactose UV5 promoters of E. coli were studied using polyacrylamide gels to separate the heparin-resistant complexes from unbound DNA. Both the apparent rate and extent of reaction at these promoters are inhibited at excess RNA polymerase. This inhibition, which can be relieved by the addition of non-promote...
متن کاملRBPBind: Quantitative prediction of Protein-RNA Interactions
Summary: We introduce RBPBind, a web-based tool for the quantitative prediction of RNA-protein interactions. Given a user-specified RNA and a protein selected from a set of several common RNAbinding proteins, RBPBind computes the binding curve and effective binding constant of the reaction in question. The server also computes the probability that, at a given concentration of protein, a protein...
