Sequence-specific binding of arc repressor to DNA. Effects of operator mutations and modifications.
A set of arc operators with transition and/or transversion mutations at each operator base pair has been constructed. By determining the ability of Arc to bind these variant operators, the importance of each base pair for Arc recognition has been assessed. Methylation protection experiments have also been used to probe points of close contact between Arc and most of the mutant operators. These ...
متن کاملSequence-specific binding of luzopeptin to DNA.
We have examined the binding of luzopeptin, an antitumor antibiotic, to five DNA fragments of varying base composition. The drug forms a tight, possibly covalent, complex with the DNA causing a reduction in mobility on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels and some smearing of the bands consistent with intramolecular cross-linking of DNA duplexes. DNAase I and micrococcal nuclease footprinting expe...
متن کاملDNA Sequence Determinants of X Repressor Binding in Vivo
The critical operator determinants for X repressor recognition have been defined by analyzing the binding of wild-type repressor to a set of mutant operators in vivo. Base pair substitutions at six positions within the X operator half-site impair binding severely, and define these base pairs as critical for operator function. One mutant operator binds repressor better than the consensus operato...
متن کاملSequence-specific interactions of the tight-binding I12-X86 lac repressor with non-operator DNA.
The tight-binding I12-X86 lac repressor binds to non-operator DNA in a sequence-specific fashion. Using the DNA of the E. coli I gene we have investigated these sequence-specific interactions and compared them to the operator binding of wild-type repressor. The specific, non-operator DNA interactions are sensitive to the inducer IPTG. One strong binding site in the I gene DNA was found to be on...
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...
