Interacción de la proteína int con sitios específicos en el ADN de lambda att
Cell
|October 1, 1979
Resumen
La proteína int se une a secuencias específicas de ADN en el sitio de adhesión del fago lambda (attP). Estos sitios de unión difieren en ubicación e interacción, particularmente en la presencia de heparina, que influye en la recombinación del ADN.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Genética La genética.
- Microbiología Microbiología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La recombinación específica del sitio es crucial para la integración viral y la estabilidad del genoma.
- La proteína Int media la recombinación en los sitios de adhesión de los fagos lambda (attP y attB).
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar los sitios precisos de unión al ADN de la proteína Int dentro de la región attP del fago lambda.
- Caracterizar la interacción diferencial de la proteína Int con las secuencias de ADN attP y attB, especialmente bajo condiciones inhibidoras.
Principales métodos:
- DNAse I y los ensayos de digestión parcial de neocarzinostatina para identificar las regiones de ADN protegidas por la proteína Int.
- Los ensayos de competencia utilizan heparina para sondear la estabilidad y la naturaleza de las interacciones Int-DNA.
Principales resultados:
- La proteína Int protege dos regiones distintas del ADN (30-35 bp cada una) dentro del sitio attP, incluyendo el núcleo común y un sitio distal del brazo P'.
- Estos dos sitios de unión a la attP exhiben una sensibilidad diferencial a la heparina, siendo el sitio distal más resistente.
- La interacción de la proteína int con el ADN attB difiere, protegiendo una región más pequeña de 15 bp en la mitad izquierda del núcleo común en ausencia de heparina, sin que se observe protección en su presencia.
Conclusiones:
- La proteína int reconoce y se une a múltiples sitios no homólogos en la región de unión de attP.
- Las diferentes afinidades de unión y la sensibilidad a la heparina de la proteína Int a los sitios de attP sugieren roles distintos en la recombinación.
- La interacción de la proteína Int con attB es distinta de la attP y es sensible a la heparina, lo que pone de relieve los mecanismos reguladores en la integración de los fagos lambda.

Ligand Binding Sites

Proteins are dynamic macromolecules that carry out a wide variety of essential processes; however, the activities of most proteins depend on their interactions with other molecules or ions, known as ligands.
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...

Protein-protein Interfaces

Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Conserved Binding Sites

Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Ligand Binding and Linkage
4.4K
Allosteric proteins have more than one ligand binding site; the binding of a ligand to any of these sites influences the binding of ligands to the other sites. When a protein is allosteric, its binding sites are called coupled or linked. In the case of enzymes, the site that binds to the substrate is known as the active site and the other site is known as the regulatory site. When a ligand binds to the regulatory site, this leads to conformational changes in the protein that can influence...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.

Single-Strand DNA Binding Proteins
12.9K
For successful DNA replication, the unwinding of double-stranded DNA must be accompanied by stabilization and protection of the separated single strands of the DNA. This crucial task is performed by single-strand DNA-binding (SSB) proteins. They bind to the DNA in a sequence-independent manner, which means that the nitrogenous bases of the DNA need not be present in a specific order for binding of SSB proteins to it. The binding of SSB proteins straightens single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and makes...
