MAP-ping Unconventional Protein-DNA Interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Control of gene expression depends on a myriad of protein-DNA interactions, and the number of proteins involved just got larger. In this issue, Hu et al. (2009) identify hundreds of human proteins that bind to DNA, including many surprises such as the protein kinase ERK2 (MAPK1) that now appears to control gene expression directly.

Investigating the Effect of Morphology Instruction through Semantic Map-ping on Vocabulary Learning of Iranian Intermediate EFL Learners
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of morphology instruction through semantic mapping on vocabulary learning of Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To do so, 50 out of 70 students were se-lected from one English language institute by administrating a PET test. Then, they were assigned into two groups randomly as experimental and control groups. A pretest (teacher made) was adm...
متن کاملAb Initio Studies on the Interplay between Unconventional B•••X Halogen Bond and Lithium/Hydrogen/Halogen Bond in HB(CO)2•••XCN•••YF (X = Cl, Br; Y = Li, H, Cl) Complexes
In this paper, ab initio calculations were performed on the ternary complex formed by HB(CO)2, XCN (X = Cl, Br) and YF (Y = Li, H, Cl). In these complexes boron act as a non-classical electron donor to form a unconventional halogen bond. The cooperative effect between the B•••X halogen bond and lithium/hydrogen/halogen bond was investigated. The calculated results show that the B•••X and N•••Y ...
متن کاملTelomere protein complexes and interactions with telomerase in telomere maintenance.
Telomeres are the termini of linear chromosomes. They are composed of DNA and DNA-binding proteins critical for maintaining chromosome integrity and cellular function. Telomere binding proteins regulate the structure and function of telomeres through the formation of different complexes with telomeric DNA. Double- and single-stranded telomeric DNA binding protein complexes have shared and uniqu...
متن کاملGenomic analysis of protein-DNA interactions in bacteria: insights into transcription and chromosome organization.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful method to measure protein-DNA interactions in vivo, and it can be applied on a genomic scale with microarray technology (ChIP-chip). ChIP-chip has been used extensively to map DNA-protein interactions across eukaryotic chromosomes. Here we review recent applications of ChIP-chip to the study of bacteria, which provide important and unexpected i...
متن کاملProfiling the Human Protein-DNA Interactome Reveals ERK2 as a Transcriptional Repressor of Interferon Signaling
Protein-DNA interactions (PDIs) mediate a broad range of functions essential for cellular differentiation, function, and survival. However, it is still a daunting task to comprehensively identify and profile sequence-specific PDIs in complex genomes. Here, we have used a combined bioinformatics and protein microarray-based strategy to systematically characterize the human protein-DNA interactom...
