Expression, purification, and solution-state NMR analysis of the two human single-stranded DNA-binding proteins hSSB1 (NABP2/OBFC2B) and hSSB2 (NAPB1/OBFC2A) [PDF]
Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) are essential to all living organisms as protectors and guardians of the genome. Apart from the well-characterized RPA, humans have also evolved two further SSBs, termed hSSB1 and hSSB2. Over the last few years,

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Identification of essential and non-essential single-stranded DNA-binding proteins in a model archaeal organism [PDF]
This work is supported by the The Scottish Universities Life Sciences Alliance (SULSA)Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) play vital roles in all aspects of DNA metabolism in all three domains of life and are characterized by the presence of one ...

Background DNA-binding proteins perform important functions in a great number of biological activities. DNA-binding proteins can interact with ssDNA (single-stranded DNA) or dsDNA (double-stranded DNA), and DNA-binding proteins can be categorized as ...

Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes at the ends of chromosomes and are indispensable for the protection and lengthening of terminal DNA. Despite the evolutionarily conserved roles of telomeres, the telomeric double-strand DNA (dsDNA)-binding proteins ...

Crenarchaeal chromatin proteins Cren7 and Sul7 compact DNA by inducing rigid bends [PDF]
Archaeal chromatin proteins share molecular and functional similarities with both bacterial and eukaryotic chromatin proteins. These proteins play an important role in functionally organizing the genomic DNA into a compact nucleoid.

DNA-binding activity of papillomavirus proteins [PDF]
We demonstrate DNA binding by papillomavirus (PV) open reading frame (ORF) proteins that correspond to the early transforming and trans-activating (E6 and E2) and late structural regions (L2 and L1) from bovine PV type 1 and human PV types 6b and 16.

Sequence specificity of single-stranded DNA-binding proteins:a novel DNA microarray approach [PDF]
We have developed a novel DNA microarray-based approach for identification of the sequence-specificity of single-stranded nucleic-acid-binding proteins (SNABPs).

A second DNA binding site on RFC facilitates clamp loading at gapped or nicked DNA
Clamp loaders place circular sliding clamp proteins onto DNA so that clamp-binding partner proteins can synthesize, scan, and repair the genome. DNA with nicks or small single-stranded gaps are common clamp-loading targets in DNA repair, yet these ...

Calling cards for DNA-binding proteins [PDF]
Identifying genomic targets of transcription factors is fundamental for understanding transcriptional regulatory networks. Current technology enables identification of all targets of a single transcription factor, but there is no realistic way to achieve the converse: identification of all proteins that bind to a promoter of interest. We have developed
