De novo prediction of PTBP1 binding and splicing targets reveals unexpected features of its RNA recognition and function. [PDF]
The splicing regulator Polypyrimidine Tract Binding Protein (PTBP1) has four RNA binding domains that each binds a short pyrimidine element, allowing recognition of diverse pyrimidine-rich sequences.

Targeting determinants of dosage compensation in Drosophila [PDF]
The dosage compensation complex (DCC) in Drosophila melanogaster is responsible for up-regulating transcription from the single male X chromosome to equal the transcription from the two X chromosomes in females.

Galactoside-Binding Site in LacY [PDF]
Although an X-ray crystal structure of lactose permease (LacY) has been presented with bound galactopyranoside, neither the sugar nor the residues ligating the sugar can be identified with precision at ~3.5 Å. Therefore, additional evidence is important for identifying side chains likely to be involved in binding.

Computing the protein binding sites [PDF]
Identifying the location of binding sites on proteins is of fundamental importance for a wide range of applications including molecular docking, de novo drug design, structure identification and comparison of functional sites. Structural genomic projects are beginning to produce protein structures with unknown functions.

P53 Binding Sites in Transposons [PDF]
Repeated regions of the genome harbor more functional information than commonly assumed. Two decades ago, a highly influential paper describing the consensus binding site for the key transcription factor p53 was published in Nature Genetics by el-Deiry et al. (1992). Recently, it has been observed that many p53 binding sites are species-specific (Jegga

Being a binding site: Characterizing residue composition of binding sites on proteins [PDF]
The Protein Data Bank contains the description of more than 45,000 three-dimensional protein and nucleic-acid structures today. Started to exist as the computer-readable depository of crystallographic data complementing printed articles, the proper interpretation of the content of the individual files in the PDB still frequently needs the detailed ...

Multiple binding sites for transcriptional repressors can produce regular bursting and enhance noise suppression [PDF]
Cells may control fluctuations in protein levels by means of negative autoregulation, where transcription factors bind DNA sites to repress their own production.

Interaction of antithrombin III with surface-immobilized albumin-heparin conjugates [PDF]
The interaction between antithrombin III (ATIII) and albumin-heparin conjugates covalently coupled onto carboxylated polystyrene beads either in buffer containing albumin or in plasma was studied using 14C-labeled ATIII.

Local sequence features that influence AP-1 cis-regulatory activity [PDF]
In the genome, most occurrences of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) have no cis-regulatory activity, which suggests that flanking sequences contain information that distinguishes functional from nonfunctional TFBS.
