Crystal Structure of the Lac Repressor Bound to Operator DNA at 2.6 Å Resolution
No. bell9220 Beamline(s): X25 Introduction: In previous work, crystal structures of the E. coli Lac repressor bound to operator and to the inducer isopropylthiogalactoside (IPTG) provided a model for how the binding of the inducer reduces the affinity of the repressor for operator. However, because of the low resolution of the operator-bound structure (4.8 Å), the model for the allosteric trans...
متن کاملDNA-binding properties of a lac repressor mutant incapable of forming tetramers.
The interaction of proteins bound to sites widely separated on the genome is a recurrent motif in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic regulatory systems. Lac repressor mediates the formation of "DNA loops" by the simultaneous interaction of a single protein tetramer with two DNA-binding sites. The DNA-binding properties of a Lac repressor mutant (LacIadi) deficient in the association of protein dim...
متن کاملDomain Swapping in Allosteric Modulation of DNA Specificity
SgrAI is a type IIF restriction endonuclease that cuts an unusually long recognition sequence and exhibits allosteric self-modulation of cleavage activity and sequence specificity. Previous studies have shown that DNA bound dimers of SgrAI oligomerize into an activated form with higher DNA cleavage rates, although previously determined crystal structures of SgrAI bound to DNA show only the DNA ...
متن کاملPlasticity in protein-DNA recognition: lac repressor interacts with its natural operator 01 through alternative conformations of its DNA-binding domain.
The lac repressor-operator system is a model system for understanding protein-DNA interactions and allosteric mechanisms in gene regulation. Despite the wealth of biochemical data provided by extensive mutations of both repressor and operator, the specific recognition mechanism of the natural lac operators by lac repressor has remained elusive. Here we present the first high-resolution structur...
متن کاملRealizing the allosteric potential of the tetrameric protein kinase A RIα holoenzyme.
PKA holoenzymes containing two catalytic (C) subunits and a regulatory (R) subunit dimer are activated cooperatively by cAMP. While cooperativity involves the two tandem cAMP binding domains in each R-subunit, additional cooperativity is associated with the tetramer. Of critical importance is the flexible linker in R that contains an inhibitor site (IS). While the IS becomes ordered in the R:C ...
