DNA of mouse erythroleukemia cells grown in vitro was labeled with bromodeoxyuridine during cycloheximide-inhibited protein synthesis. Isolated nuclei were digested with micrococcal nuclease to obtain monosomes and monosomal dsDNA. The protection of the heavy and of the light strands of the newly replicated DNA was studied by dot hybridization with the coding and with its complementary noncoding strand of the alpha-globin gene. The results show that both sides of the replication fork contain protected sequences of the gene, thus supporting a bilateral (dispersive) mode of nucleosome segregation during DNA replication. 相似文献

During our earlier investigations we have observed a prominent preference of the linker histone H1 for binding to a cis-platinated DNA (a synthetic fragment with global type of platination in respect to targets for cisplatin) comparing with unmodified and trans-Pt-modified DNA. In the present work we report our recent experimental results on the binding of the linker histones H1 and H5 to a cisplatin-modified synthetic DNA fragment containing a single nucleotide target d(GC/CG) for inter-platination. Surprisingly, no preferential binding of linker histones to cis-inter-platinated DNA was observed by means of the electromobility-shift assay. The same negative results were obtained with a part of the linker histone molecule suggested to be responsible for DNA-binding--its globular domain. Contrary, the data with another nuclear protein with similar DNA-binding properties as linker histones--HMGB1--showed a strong afinity for interaction with DNA containing interstrand cross-links. 相似文献

It has been known for years that linker histones bind preferentially to supercoiled DNA. This preference has been demonstrated by a number of different techniques including deoxyfibonucleoprotein electrophoresis, sedimentation, and filter binding under non-competitive conditions. In an attempt to further study this issue, we used one- and two-dimensional electrophoretic gels and filter binding under competitive conditions, with all DNA forms of interest being simultaneously present in the incubation mixture. Comparison between results obtained by the two methods showed that whereas the preference for superhelical molecules was clearly seen in the electrophoretic gels, the filter binding assay failed to reveal this preference. These results reveal limitations to the filter binding technique, which must be borne in mind in studies involving superhelical DNA molecules. 相似文献

Interaction of DNA-dependent protein kinase with DNA and with Ku: biochemical and atomic-force microscopy studies. 总被引:22,自引:4,他引:18 下载免费PDF全文
DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK or the scid factor) and Ku are critical for DNA end-joining in V(D)J recombination and in general non-homologous double-strand break repair. One model for the function of DNA-PK is that it forms a complex with Ku70/86, and this complex then binds to DNA ends, with Ku serving as the DNA-binding subunit. We find that DNA-PK can itself bind to linear DNA fragments ranging in size from 18 to 841 bp double-stranded (ds) DNA, as indicated by: (i) mobility shifts; (ii) crosslinking between the DNA and DNA-PK; and (iii) atomic-force microscopy. Binding of the 18 bp ds DNA to DNA-PK activates it for phosphorylation of protein targets, and this level of activation is not increased by addition of purified Ku70/86. Ku can stimulate DNA-PK activity beyond this level only when the DNA fragments are long enough for the independent binding to the DNA of both DNA-PK and Ku. Atomic-force microscopy indicates that under such conditions, the DNA-PK binds at the DNA termini, and Ku70/86 assumes a position along the ds DNA that is adjacent to the DNA-PK. 相似文献

cDNA-derived amino acid sequence of the 86-kDa subunit of the Ku antigen 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25
The Ku antigen is a DNA-associated nuclear protein recognized by sera from patients with autoimmune diseases. It consists of two polypeptides of 86 and 70 kDa. cDNA clones encoding the 86-kDa subunit of the Ku antigen were isolated by probing lambda gt11 recombinant cDNA expression libraries with a monoclonal antibody specific for this protein. The amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA comprises 732 amino acids and corresponds to a protein with molecular weight of 81.914. Nineteen residues at the NH2 terminus determined by protein sequencing corresponded to the sequence deduced from the cDNA. The predicted amino acid sequence contains a region with repeating leucine residues similar to the "leucine zipper" structure observed in the c-myc, v-myc, and c-fos oncogene products. The largest cDNA hybridized to 2.7- and 3.4-kilobase poly(A)+ mRNAs from HeLa cells. The cDNA clones expressed fusion proteins immunoreactive with the monoclonal antibody and sera from patients with autoimmune diseases. 相似文献

Productive and Nonproductive Complexes of Ku and DNA-Dependent Protein Kinase at DNA Termini 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6 下载免费PDF全文

DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is the only eukaryotic protein kinase known to be specifically activated by double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) termini, accounting for its importance in repair of dsDNA breaks and its role in physiologic processes involving dsDNA breaks, such as V(D)J recombination. In this study we conducted kinase and binding analyses using DNA-PK on DNA termini of various lengths in the presence and absence of Ku. We confirmed our previous observations that DNA-PK can bind DNA termini in the absence of Ku, and we determined rate constants for binding. However, in the presence of Ku, DNA-PK can assume either a productive or a nonproductive configuration, depending on the length of the DNA terminus. For dsDNA greater than 26 bp, the productive mode is achieved and Ku increases the affinity of the DNA-PK for the Ku:DNA complex. The change in affinity is achieved by increases in both the kinetic association rate and reduction in the kinetic dissociation rate. For dsDNA smaller than 26 bp, the nonproductive mode, in which DNA-PK is bound to Ku:DNA but is inactive as a kinase, is assumed. Both the productive and nonproductive configurations are likely to be of physiologic importance, depending on the distance of the dsDNA break site to other protein complexes, such as nucleosomes. 相似文献
