A highly photosensitive analogue of thymidine, 5-azidodeoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate, has been incorporated into 61-base pair (bp) DNA fragments corresponding to the central region of Xenopus somatic-type 5 S RNA genes such that 5-azidodeoxyuridine replaces some or all T residues in either the coding or noncoding strand of the TFIIIA binding site. Photolysis of TFIIIA.DNA complexes formed with these probes results in efficient, sequence-specific cross-linking to the Zn-finger protein providing direct evidence that this class of proteins have contacts in the major groove of their target sequence. Of the 20 T residues present in the 61-bp probes, greater than 90% of the cross-linking occurs from two sites in the 5 S RNA gene corresponding to T residues at positions 84 and 88 in the noncoding and coding strands, respectively. Digestion by V8 protease of the complex formed with the noncoding strand probe releases peptides not bound to the DNA. Amino acid sequence analysis of the remaining, cross-linked peptides indicates the region including zinc-finger 2 plus the finger 2-3 linker is in contact with position 84. The linker region between fingers 5 and 6 is also in close proximity to the major groove somewhere upstream from position 84. 相似文献

A difference in the importance of bulged nucleotides and their parent base pairs in the binding of transcription factor IIIA to Xenopus 5S RNA and 5S RNA genes 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Individual bulge loops present in Xenopus 5S RNA (positions 49A-A50 in helix III, C63 in helix II and A83 in helix IV), were deleted by site directed mutagenesis. The interaction of these mutant 5S RNA molecules with TFIIIA was measured by a direct binding assay and a competition assay. The results of these experiments show that none of the bulged nucleotides in Xenopus 5S RNA are required for the binding of TFIIIA. The affinity of the mutant 5S RNA genes for TFIIIA was also studied by a filter binding assay. In contrast to the effect that deleting bulged nucleotides had on the TFIIIA-RNA binding affinity, deletion of the corresponding A-T base pair at position +83 in 5S DNA was found to reduce the apparent association constant of TFIIIA by a factor of four-fold. 相似文献

A finger protein structurally similar to TFIIIA that binds exclusively to 5S RNA in Xenopus 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
A 5S RNA binding protein (p43) in Xenopus is a major constituent of oocytes and comprises part of a 42S ribonucleoprotein storage particle. We have cloned and sequenced p43 cDNA from X. laevis and X. borealis as well as the cDNA for X. borealis TFIIIA. Like TFIIIA, p43 has nine zinc fingers, seven of which are exactly the same size as their counterparts in TFIIIA. Amino acid homology between the two proteins is restricted mainly to conserved residues characteristic of zinc fingers. In contrast to TFIIIA, which binds specifically to both 5S RNA and 5S RNA genes, p43 binds exclusively to 5S RNA. 相似文献
