A MODEL FOR THE BASIC HELIX- LOOPHELIX MOTIF AND ITS SEQUENCE SPECIFIC RECOGNITION OF DNA
A three dimensional model of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix motif and its sequence specific recognition of DNA is described. The basic-helix I is modeled as a continuous ?-helix because no ?-helix breaking residue is found between the basic region and the first helix. When the basic region of the two peptide monomers are aligned in the successive major groove of the cognate DNA, the hydrophobi...
متن کاملSequence-specific endonuclease BamHI: relaxation of sequence recognition.
The effect of glycerol on the specificity of DNA cleavage by the restriction endonuclease BamHI has been examined. In addition to the canonical G decreases from G-A-T-C-C site, BamHI cuts DNA at several sites that we have named noncanonical BamHI.1 sites. The number of BamHI.1 sites in simian virus 40 and pBR322 was determined to be 13 for each DNA. Cutting sites determined by DNA sequence anal...
متن کاملDegenerate DNA recognition by I-PpoI endonuclease.
The I-PpoI endonuclease is encoded by a group I intron found in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. To initiate homing of its encoding intron, I-PpoI catalyzes a specific double-stranded break within a 15-bp recognition site. The high substrate specificities of I-PpoI and other homing endonucleases make these enzymes valuable tools for genomic mapping and sequencing. Here, we report on the ab...
متن کاملDNA nucleotide sequence restricted by the RI endonuclease.
The sequence of DNA base pairs adjacent to the phosphodiester bonds cleaved by the RI restriction endonuclease in unmodified DNA from coliphage lambda has been determined. The 5'-terminal nucleotide labeled with (32)P and oligonucleotides up to the heptamer were analyzed from a pancreatic DNase digest. The following sequence of nucleotides adjacent to the RI break made in lambda DNA was deduced...
متن کاملRecognition of native DNA methylation by the PvuII restriction endonuclease.
Recognizing the methylation status of specific DNA sequences is central to the function of many systems in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Restriction-modification systems have to distinguish between 'self' and 'non-self' DNA and depend on the inability of restriction endonucleases to cleave their DNA substrates when the DNA is appropriately methylated. These endonucleases thus provide a model syst...
