DNA-protein interactions can be specific or non-specific. Specific interactions take place by means of specialized domains which are found in interacting proteins such as transcription factors. Some of the domains involved in DNA-protein interactions are:
1) Helix-turn-helix - This motif consists of two alpha helices seprated by a short (four amino acid) peptide sequene that forms a beta turn. Transcription factors which play an important role in early embryo development in Drosophila contain this motif.
2) Zinc finger - The zinc finger is a loop of 12 amino acids with two cysteines and two Histidines at the base of the loop that tetrahedrally coordinate a Zinc ion.TFIIIA contain Zinc fingers.
3) Leucine zippers - This motif contains a leucine every seventh amino acid in the primary sequence and forms an alpha helix with the leucines presented on the same side of the helix every second turn, giving a hydrophobic surface.
4) Activation domains - There are certain domains of amino acids which are not sequence specific DNA binding domain but carry out some function. Glutamine-rich domains for example are found in SP1 transcription factors.

You are interested in the interactions of histone deacetylase (HDAC) with nucleosomes. Using a DNA template that is end labelled with 32P and has two nucleosomes already bound to it, you perform a gel-shift experiment with HDAC and the chromatin from above. You also assemble chromatin with nucleosomes that have been methylated at a particular amino acid residue of Histone H4. The results are below. Based on the data, (A) explain the autoradiogram below – what are all the bands?...
QUESTION 8 The following situations (1-4) involve different types of gene regulation in prokaryotic cells as shown. OFF and ON reter to whether the gene is transcribed or not. Draw clearly-labelled regulatory proteins and effector molecules in each diagram to explain how the regulation works in each case. The first one has been done for you as an example a) (6 marks) Type of Regulation Regulatory protein effector molecule 1 DNA X negative inducible OFF ON 2 negative repressible DNA...
In-Class Activity #12, Protein Tratlicking Worksheet 1. You are interested in four different proteins in a yeast cell: • protein 1 is a cytosolic protein protein 2 is a secreted protein • protein 3 is a nuclear protein protein 4 is a cell surface membrane protein with N-terminal end in extra-cellular space. a. You plan to study how the proteins are localized to their specific destination by creating the following mutations in the genes encoding proteins 1-4. Indicate how the...
1. Describe a typical protein-protein interface, and what is required to allow for protein interactions. 2. Are NAD- and ATP-binding domains generally conserved or unique? Why? 3. Why do proteins have cofactors (what role do they serve)? 4. Describe the two ways proteins can interact with DNA, and the differences between both. Which is similar to the RNA recognition motif? 5. How do proteins differentiate between ssRNA, dsRNA, DNA-RNA hybrids, and dsDNA?
