Transcription from a bacteriophage T4 middle promoter using T4 motA protein and phage-modified RNA polymerase.
The bacteriophage T4 motA protein is required for transcription from T4 middle promoters. These promoters, which contain the Escherichia coli promoter consensus sequence at the -10 region (TATAAT) but a unique sequence centered at -30 ((a/t)(a/t)TGCTT(t/c)A) (Guild, N., Gayle, M., Sweeney, R., Hollingsworth, T., Modeer, T., and Gold, L. (1988) J. Mol. Biol. 199, 241-258), become active about 2 ...
متن کاملThymine DNA glycosylase specifically recognizes 5-carboxylcytosine-modified DNA
Human thymine DNA glycosylase (hTDG) efficiently excises 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC), a key oxidation product of 5-methylcytosine in genomic DNA, in a recently discovered cytosine demethylation pathway. We present here the crystal structures of the hTDG catalytic domain in complex with duplex DNA containing either 5caC or a fluorinated analog. These structures, together with biochemical and compu...
متن کاملMga, a dual-specificity transcription factor that interacts with Max and contains a T-domain DNA-binding motif.
The basic-helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper (bHLHZip) proteins Myc, Mad and Mnt are part of a transcription activation/repression system involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. The function of these proteins as transcription factors is mediated by heterodimerization with the small bHLHZip protein Max, which is required for their specific DNA binding to E-box sequences. We have identifie...
متن کاملDNA-Binding Motif of the Imprinted Transcription Factor PEG3
Peg3 is an imprinted gene that is predicted to encode a DNA-binding zinc finger protein. This was previously demonstrated through Chromatin ImmunoPrecipitation-based Sequencing experiments. In the current study, we reanalyzed the previous ChIP-Seq results and further characterized the DNA-binding motif of PEG3. According to the results, PEG3 binds to the promoters and enhancers of a subset of g...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of a single-stranded DNA binding protein that specifically recognizes deoxycytidine stretch
We previously identified a G-rich silencer element involved in negative regulation of catalase gene expression in some hepatoma cells (Mol. Cell. Biol., (1992), 12, 2525-2533). To study a nuclear binding protein for this element, we screened cDNA libraries from a rat ascites hepatoma cell line by binding with a synthetic oligonucleotide probe and obtained several clones. One of them, designated...
