Regulation of purine biosynthetic genes expression inSalmonella typhimurium IV Oc mutation site ofpurG and its function analysis

Salmonella typhimurium 5 phosphoribosylformylglycinamide (FGAR) amidotransferase encoded bypurG gene catalyzes the conversion of FGAR to formylglycinamide ribonucleotide (FGAM) in the presence of glu- tamine and ATP for thede novo purine nucleotide biosynthesis.purG gene is negatively regulated by a repressor-operator system. The O⁺ purG and O^c purG were cloned respectivelyin vivo. Restriction enzymes analysis of preliminary clones pLBG-1 (O⁺) and pLBG-2 (O^c) were carried out. The hybrid plasmids pLB1933 (O⁺) and pLB1927 (O^c) containing 5′ control region ofpurG were constructed and the DNA sequences were determined respectively, DNA sequences data showed that O^c mutation ofpurG occurred at the 3rd position of 16 bp PUR box in the 5′ control region (G→A). Gel retardation experiment indicated that the repressor bound well with O⁺ PUR box, but not with O^c PUR box. The result strongly supported the idea that PUR box is the binding region of repressor protein and the 3rd position base G of PUR box is essential for the binding function with repressor protein.     

Participation of the purine repressor in control of the carbamoylphosphate synthetase operon in Salmonella typhimurium

Previous work has shown that the carAB operon of Salmonella typhimurium is transcribed from tandem promoters, P1 and P2, that are negatively controlled by pyrimidines and arginine, respectively. The results reported here show that purines also negatively control expression of carAB and that this effect is absent in a purR ::Tn 10 derivative. Primer-extension experiments established that the purine effect is exerted at P1, thus redefining this promoter as sensitive to both purines and pyrimidines. The results of gel-retardation experiments as well as DNase I and premethylation footprintings indicate that the purine repressor interacts with a PUR box 85 bp upstream of P1. Modification of this PUR box by site-directed mutagenesis abolishes the repression by purines in a carA :: lacZ fusion, confirming that this box functions in vivo in purine control of carAB expression.

Nucleotides within both proximal and distal parts of the consensus sequence are important for specific DNA recognition by the herpes simplex virus regulatory protein ICP4.

The herpes simplex virus type 1 regulatory protein ICP4 is a sequence specific DNA binding protein which associates with a number of different sites, some of which include the consensus ATCGTCnnnnYCGRC. In order to investigate the involvement in DNA binding of conserved bases within the consensus, we have synthesised a family of mutant oligonucleotides and tested their ability to form a complex with ICP4. We have also compared the binding specificities of bacterially expressed fragments of ICP4 which include the DNA binding domain. Mutation of most (but not all) bases in the proximal part of the consensus greatly reduced binding by ICP4, as did a mutation affecting the distal part. Most (but not all) G residues identified in methylation interference assays were required for efficient binding. While a bacterially expressed ICP4 peptide encompassing amino acid residues 252-523 bound to DNA with a specificity similar to that of the whole protein, a shorter protein (residues 275-523) had a slightly relaxed DNA binding specificity.     

DNA-binding activities of the Drosophila melanogaster even-skipped protein are mediated by its homeo domain and influenced by protein context.

The homeo box gene even-skipped (eve) encodes a 376-amino-acid protein that binds with high affinity to sequences located near the 5' termini of the eve and en genes. The 5' en sites are A + T rich and contain copies of the 10-base-pair (bp) consensus sequence T-C-A-A-T-T-A-A-A-T. In contrast, the 5' eve sites are G + C rich and contain the 9-bp sequence T-C-A-G-C-A-C-C-G. Among the five different homeo box proteins that have been tested for binding, eve is unique in that it shows virtually equal preference for the A + T-rich 5' en binding sites and the G + C-rich 5' eve sites. Most of the other proteins bind with a relatively higher affinity to the en sites than to the eve sites. In an effort to identify the regions of the eve protein that are responsible for its efficient binding to both classes of recognition sequences, we analyzed the DNA-binding properties of various mutant eve proteins. These studies suggest that the homeo domain of the eve protein is responsible for both binding activities. However, mutations in distant regions of the protein influenced the binding behavior of the eve homeo domain and caused a reduction in binding to the G + C class of recognition sites. We propose that the protein context of the homeo domain can influence its DNA-binding properties.
