Regulation of Replication Termination by Reb1 Protein-Mediated Action at a Distance
DNA transactions driven by long-range protein-mediated inter- and intrachromosomal interactions have been reported to influence gene expression. Here, we report that site-specific replication termination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is modulated by protein-mediated interactions between pairs of Ter sites located either on the same or on different chromosomes. The dimeric Reb1 protein catalyzes ...
متن کاملEscherichia coli replication termination protein impedes the action of helicases.
Identification of the consensus sequence for termination of replication (ter) in Escherichia coli and the isolation of the ter-binding protein (TBP) allowed us to test their effects on replication forks initiated at the unique origin of the E. coli chromosome (oriC) in a purified enzyme system. Replication was severely impeded by ter in a unique orientation when purified TBP was supplied to bin...
متن کاملCooperativity at a distance promoted by the combined action of two replication initiator proteins and a DNA bending protein at the replication origin of pSC101.
We have investigated the interaction of the host-encoded DNA bending protein IHF, the host-encoded initiator DnaA, and the plasmid-encoded initiator RepA with the replication origin of pSC101. We have discovered that DNA bending induced by IHF in vitro promoted the interaction of DnaA protein with two physically separated binding sites called dnaAs and dnaAw. This cooperative interaction at a d...
متن کاملNongenic transcription, gene regulation and action at a distance.
In eukaryotes, motifs such as silencers, enhancers and locus control regions act over thousands of base pairs to regulate adjacent genes; insulators limit such effects, and barriers confine repressive heterochromatin to particular chromosomal segments. Recent results show that many of these motifs are nongenic transcription units, and two of them directly contact their targets lying further dow...
متن کاملRtf1-mediated eukaryotic site-specific replication termination.
The molecular mechanisms mediating eukaryotic replication termination and pausing remain largely unknown. Here we present the molecular characterization of Rtf1 that mediates site-specific replication termination at the polar Schizosaccharomyces pombe barrier RTS1. We show that Rtf1 possesses two chimeric myb/SANT domains: one is able to interact with the repeated motifs encoded by the RTS1 ele...
