The ubiquitously expressed mammalian POU-domain protein Oct-1 specifically recognizes two classes of cis-acting regulatory elements that bear little sequence similarity, the octamer motif ATGCAAAT and the TAATGARAT motif. The related pituitary-specific POU protein Pit-1 also recognizes these two motifs but, unlike Oct-1, binds preferentially to the TAATGARAT motif. Yet in our assay, Pit-1 still binds octamer elements better than does the octamer motif-binding protein Oct-3. The POU domain is responsible for recognizing these diverse regulatory sequences through multiple DNA contacts that include the two POU subdomains, the POU-specific region, and the POU homeodomain. The DNA-binding properties of 10 chimeric POU domains, in which different POU-domain segments are derived from either Oct-1 or Pit-1, reveal a high degree of structural plasticity; these hybrid proteins all bind DNA well and frequently bind particular sites better than does either of the parental POU domains. In these chimeric POU domains, the POU-specific A and B boxes and the hypervariable POU linker can influence DNA-binding specificity. The surprising result is that the influence a particular segment has on DNA-binding specificity can be greatly affected by the origin of other segments of the POU domain and the sequence of the binding site. Thus, the broad but selective DNA-binding specificity of Oct-1 is conferred both by multiple DNA contacts and by dynamic interactions within the DNA-bound POU domain. 相似文献

DNA binding by the Oct-1 protein is directed by its POU domain, a bipartite DNA-binding domain made up of a POU-specific (POUS) domain and a POU-homeo (POUH) domain, two helix-turn-helix-containing DNA-binding modules that cooperate in DNA recognition. Although the best-characterized DNA target for Oct-1 binding is the octamer sequence ATGCAAAT, Oct-1 also binds a number of different DNA sequence elements. For example, Oct-1 recognizes a form of the herpes simplex virus VP16-responsive TAATGARAT element, called the (OCTA-)TAATGARAT site, that lacks octamer site similarity. Our studies suggest two mechanisms by which Oct-1 achieves flexible DNA sequence recognition. First, an important arginine found in the Oct-1 POUS domain tolerates substitutions of its base contacts within the octamer site. Second, on the (OCTA-)TAATGARAT site, the POUS domain is located on the side of the POUH domain opposite from where it is located on an octamer site. This flexibility of the Oct-1 POU domain in DNA binding also has an impact on its participation in a multiprotein-DNA complex with VP16. We show that Oct-1 POUS domain residues that contact DNA have different effects on VP16-induced complex formation depending on whether the VP16-responsive element involved has overlapping octamer similarity or not. 相似文献
