چکیده

The effects of binding inducer and anti-inducer of the Escherichia coli lac operon to the lac repressor were examined by taking advantage of fluorine-19 NMR. The fluorine nucleus was biosynthetically incorporated into the lac repressor with either 5-fluorotryptophan or 3-fluorotyrosine. It is suggested that these small effector molecules influence the operator-binding properties of the tetrameric lac repressor by altering the intersubunit relationships in the protein.

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...

Regulatory Revolution: Evolving the “Anti-LacI” Repressor

Much of adaptation is based upon changes in gene expression, but the emergence of new regulatory logic has not been observed directly. Now, Poelwijk et al. report evolving the lac repressor (LacI) to reverse its regulatory logic, resulting in an "anti-LacI" that represses transcription when bound to its "inducer."

Sequence-specific interactions of the tight-binding I12-X86 lac repressor with non-operator DNA.

The tight-binding I12-X86 lac repressor binds to non-operator DNA in a sequence-specific fashion. Using the DNA of the E. coli I gene we have investigated these sequence-specific interactions and compared them to the operator binding of wild-type repressor. The specific, non-operator DNA interactions are sensitive to the inducer IPTG. One strong binding site in the I gene DNA was found to be on...

Crystal structure of the lactose operon repressor and its complexes with DNA and inducer.

The lac operon of Escherichia coli is the paradigm for gene regulation. Its key component is the lac repressor, a product of the lacI gene. The three-dimensional structures of the intact lac repressor, the lac repressor bound to the gratuitous inducer isopropyl-beta-D-1-thiogalactoside (IPTG) and the lac repressor complexed with a 21-base pair symmetric operator DNA have been determined. These ...

A DFT study of NMR parameters for MgO nanotubes

Magnesium oxide nanotubes of finite length are investigated by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G (d) level. The (6, 0) zigzag and (4, 4) armchair of MgO nanotubes were considered and nuclear magnetic resonance properties including isotropic and anisotropic chemical shielding parameters (CSI and CSA) were calculated for 25Mg and 17O atoms of the optimiz...
