Employing a newly developed uranyl photofootprinting technique (Nielsen et al. (1988) FEBS Lett. 235, 122), we have analyzed the structure of the E. coli RNA polymerase deoP1 promoter open complex. The results show strong polymerase DNA backbone contacts in the -40, -10, and most notably in the +10 region. These results suggest that unwinding of the -12 to +3 region of the promoter in the open complex is mediated through polymerase DNA backbone contacts on both sides of this region. The pattern of bases that are hyperreactive towards KMnO4 or uranyl within the -12 to +3 region furthermore argues against a model in which this region is simply unwound and/or single stranded. The results indicate specific protein contacts and/or a fixed DNA conformation within the -12 to +3 region. 相似文献

Tyrosine-mediated repression of aroF and tyrP was studied by inserting DNA sequences between the two adjacent TYR R boxes which, in each case, overlap the respective RNA polymerase binding sites of these genes. In both cases, repression was greatest when homologous regions of these two TYR R boxes were on the same face of the DNA helix and the boxes were directly adjacent. An insertion of 3 bases was sufficient to abolish repression, which was reestablished as the boxes became separated by one full turn of the helix. These observations, coupled with the results of in vitro DNase I protection studies, supported the hypothesis that the binding of TyrR protein to the downstream boxes required cooperative interaction with TyrR protein already bound to the upstream boxes. In the case of tyrP, moving the upstream box also affected activation. Maximal activation was observed when the box was moved 3 or 12 to 14 residues upstream. Practically no activation was seen at intermediate positions, such as +7 and -4. It is hypothesized that these results indicate positions allowing maximal interaction between TyrR protein bound to the upstream box and RNA polymerase bound to the RNA polymerase binding site. 相似文献
