A novel Arabidopsis DNA binding protein contains the conserved motif of HMG-box proteins.
We have isolated cDNA clones from a lambda gtll library of mRNA prepared from rosette plants of Arabidopsis thaUana to identify DNA binding proteins that bind to the promoter region of the desiccation-responsive rd29A gene (1, 2, 3). We used a 40 bp conserved sequence (3) in the promoter regions of rd29A and rd29B genes, which may contain enhancer-like sequence(s), as a probe for the screening....
متن کاملA 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 کاملRNP-1, an RNA-binding motif is conserved in the DNA-binding cold shock domain.
Sequence analysis has shown that there is a short motif of 8 amino acids, corresponding to the RNP-1 motif found in canonical RNA-binding domains, which is common to two families of apparently unrelated proteins. Many RNA-binding proteins contain the RNP-1 and RNP-2 motifs in an RNA-binding domain. The cold shock domain (CSD) family of proteins, which includes several transcription factors whic...
متن کاملThe Drosophila trithorax proteins contain a novel variant of the nuclear receptor type DNA binding domain and an ancient conserved motif found in other chromosomal proteins
The products of the trithorax gene are required to stably maintain homeotic gene expression patterns established during embryo-genesis by the action of the transiently expressed segmentation genes. We have determined the intron/exon structure of the trx gene and the large alternatively spliced trx RNAs, which are capable of encoding only two protein isoforms. These very large trx proteins diffe...
متن کاملThe pre-mRNA binding K protein contains a novel evolutionarily conserved motif.
The K protein is among the major pre-mRNA-binding proteins (hnRNPs) in vertebrate cell nuclei. It binds tenaciously to cytidine-rich sequences and is the major oligo(rC/dC)-binding protein in vertebrate cells. We have cloned a cDNA of the Xenopus laevis hnRNP K and determined its sequence. The X.laevis hnRNP K is a 47 kD protein that is remarkably similar to its human 66 kD counterpart except f...
