Cooperative Allosteric Transitions01:58

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

8.8K
Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators

7.4K
Transcriptional regulators bind to specific cis-regulatory sequences in the DNA to regulate gene transcription. These cis-regulatory sequences are very short, usually less than ten nucleotide pairs in length. The short length means that there is a high probability of the exact same sequence randomly occurring throughout the genome.  Since regulators can also bind to groups of similar sequences, this further increases the chances of random binding. Transcriptional regulators form...

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

18.8K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences.  The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

Area of Science:

  • Social sciences
  • Biological sciences
  • Game theory

Background:

  • Sustaining cooperation in social dilemmas is crucial.
  • Punishment in public goods games (PGG) promotes cooperation but has drawbacks.
  • Resource destruction and social capital loss are disadvantages of punishment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate an endogenous reward mechanism for PGG.
  • To promote cooperation efficiently without negative consequences.
  • To achieve sustainable cooperation with budget-balanced rewards.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an endogenous reward mechanism taxing PGG income.
  • Players distribute shares of the fund as rewards.
  • Simulations used type-specific estimations and conditional cooperation models.

Main Results:

  • The reward mechanism reversed the decay trend in cooperation.
  • High levels of contribution were achieved.
  • Budget-balanced rewards required no external funding.

Conclusions:

  • Endogenous rewards offer an efficient alternative to punishment in PGG.
  • The proposed mechanism sustains cooperation and conserves resources.
  • Payoff-based conditional cooperation explains observed effects.
