Nucleoprotein architectures regulating the directionality of viral integration and excision.
The virally encoded site-specific recombinase Int collaborates with its accessory DNA bending proteins IHF, Xis, and Fis to assemble two distinct, very large, nucleoprotein complexes that carry out either integrative or excisive recombination along regulated and essentially unidirectional pathways. The core of each complex consists of a tetramer of Integrase protein (Int), which is a heterobiva...
متن کاملTransitions for Regulating Early Transcription
Gene expression is largely regulated during the initiation of RNA polymerase II (PolII) transcription. In this issue, Kouzine et al. show that control of DNA melting is one of the critical rate-limiting steps for productive mRNA elongation. We discuss these findings in the context of other key energetic transitions.
متن کاملRegulating transcription: a chemical perspective.
Many human diseases are characterized by altered gene expression patterns caused by malfunctioning transcriptional regulators. This has spurred new efforts in the development of artificial transcription factors that regulate the expression of specific genes either positively or negatively. Despite impressive advances in the last decade, artificial transcription factors that reconstitute all of ...
متن کاملRegulating transcription regulators via allostery and flexibility.
A llosteric control of transcriptional regulatory proteins enables organisms to respond to changes in environmental and metabolic conditions. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic transcriptional regulatory proteins sense the availability of a broad range of small molecules including metal ions, metabolites, and drugs with the final biological outcome of altering transcriptional activity of specific genes...
متن کاملStructural insights into NusG regulating transcription elongation
NusG is an essential transcription factor that plays multiple key regulatory roles in transcription elongation, termination and coupling translation and transcription. The core role of NusG is to enhance transcription elongation and RNA polymerase processivity. Here, we present the structure of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase complexed with NusG. The structure shows that the NusG N-terminal dom...
