Steroid-binding receptors in fungi: implication for systemic mycoses
It has been shown that some of the mycotic infections especially systemic mycoses show increased male susceptibility and some steroids have been known to influence the immune response. Researchers found that some fungi including yeasts use "message molecules" including hormones to elicit certain responses, especially in the sexual cycle, but until recently no evidence was available to...
متن کاملStructural analysis of the DNA-binding domain of alternatively spliced steroid receptors.
We have generated 24 DNA-binding domain structure models of alternatively spliced or mutated steroid receptor variants by homology-based modeling. Members of the steroid receptor family dispose of a DNA-binding domain which is built from two zinc fingers with a preserved sequence homology of about 90%. Data from crystallographic analysis of the glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding domain are the...
متن کاملDNA specificity , determinants of
We have analyzed the sequence-specific interaction between the Escherichia coli tryptophan (Trp) repressor and its operator using challenge phage vectors. These phages, derivatives of Salmonella phage P22 that have substitutions of synthetic, symmetric trp operators for the P22 rant operator, provide a genetic assay for DNA binding in vivo. Phages carrying operators that retain the determinants...
متن کاملDeterminants of Bacteriophage 933W Repressor DNA Binding Specificity
We reported previously that 933W repressor apparently does not cooperatively bind to adjacent sites on DNA and that the relative affinities of 933W repressor for its operators differ significantly from that of any other lambdoid bacteriophage. These findings indicate that the operational details of the lysis-lysogeny switch of bacteriophage 933W are unique among lambdoid bacteriophages. Since t...
متن کاملUsing a structural and logics systems approach to infer bHLH–DNA binding specificity determinants
Numerous efforts are underway to determine gene regulatory networks that describe physical relationships between transcription factors (TFs) and their target DNA sequences. Members of paralogous TF families typically recognize similar DNA sequences. Knowledge of the molecular determinants of protein-DNA recognition by paralogous TFs is of central importance for understanding how small differenc...
