DNA sequence correlations shape nonspecific transcription factor-DNA binding affinity.
Transcription factors (TFs) are regulatory proteins that bind DNA in promoter regions of the genome and either promote or repress gene expression. Here, we predict analytically that enhanced homooligonucleotide sequence correlations, such as poly(dA:dT) and poly(dC:dG) tracts, statistically enhance nonspecific TF-DNA binding affinity. This prediction is generic and qualitatively independent of ...
متن کاملDNA-epoxyceliulose to sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins
Phage A DNA was covalently coupled to epoxy-activated cellulose to form a stable DNA-cellulose matrix for affinity chromatography of sequence-specific DNAbinding proteins. The accessibility of three specific six-base sequences, GGATCC (BamHI), GAATTC (EcoRI) and AAGCTT (HindIII) was studied quantitatively and qualitatively by restriction analysis followed by labelling of their recessed ends. Al...
متن کاملPurification of sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins by affinity chromatography.
The affinity chromatography procedure described in this unit uses DNA containing specific recognition sites for the desired protein that has been covalently linked to a solid support. Preparation of a DNA affinity resin, including cyanogen bromide (CNBr) activation of the agarose support, is described, and an alternate protocol provides a method to couple DNA to commercially available CNBr-acti...
متن کاملDesign of novel sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins.
The design and selection of DNA-binding proteins or individual domains capable of novel sequence recognition continues to make great strides. Recent studies have also highlighted the role of the non-DNA-contacting portions of the protein and the optimal assembly of the domains. For the first time, it appears that it is possible to produce proteins capable of targeting any gene with an 18 base p...
متن کاملRecognition and characterization of Erythropoietin binding-proteins in the brain of mice
Objective(s): Erythropoietin (EPO), is a 34KDa glycoprotein hormone, which belongs to type 1 cytokine superfamily. EPO involves in erythrocyte maturation through inhibition of apoptosis in erythroid cells. Besides its main function, protective effects of EPO in heart and brain tissues have been reported. EPO has a critical role in development, growth, and homeostasis of brain. Furthermore EPO h...
