Characterization of the integration protein of bacteriophage lambda as a site-specific DNA-binding protein.
The Int protein specified by bacteriophage lambda is required for the recombination event that integrates the viral DNA into the host genome at its specific attachment site. Using a DNA-binding assay, we have partially purified the Int protein and studied some of the features of its binding specificity and regulation. The DNA-binding activity is attributed to Int protein because the activity is...
متن کاملStructure of the gene 2.5 protein, a single-stranded DNA binding protein encoded by bacteriophage T7.
The gene 2.5 protein (gp2.5) of bacteriophage T7 is a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding protein that has essential roles in DNA replication and recombination. In addition to binding DNA, gp2.5 physically interacts with T7 DNA polymerase and T7 primase-helicase during replication to coordinate events at the replication fork. We have determined a 1.9-A crystal structure of gp2.5 and show that i...
متن کاملSite-specific carcinogen binding to DNA.
Benzo[alpha]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE) is a well-studied environmental carcinogen that binds covalently to DNA. Here we describe a photochemical technique that allows us to map BPDE-binding sites within cloned gene sequences. The technique is based upon our observation that, when irradiated with laser light at 355 nm, one single-strand DNA cut is produced at each BPDE binding site. In initial e...

متن کاملInvestigation and Determination the Binding Site of Glycyrrhizin of Liquorice to DNA
Glycyrrhizin(GL), is a triterpenoid saponin found in glychyrrhiza glabra (liquorice). This compound is a frequently used and very effective drug for the treatment of various malignancies. This study was designed to examine the interactions of glycyrrhizin with calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution at physiological conditions. FTIR spectroscopic method was used to determine the ligand binding mode...
