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,

Non-additivity in protein-DNA binding [PDF]
Localizing protein binding sites within genomic DNA is of considerable importance, but remains difficult for protein families, such as transcription factors, which have loosely defined target sequences. It is generally assumed that protein affinity for DNA involves additive contributions from successive nucleotide pairs within the target sequence. This

Versatile toolbox for high throughput biochemical and functional studies with fluorescent fusion proteins [PDF]
Fluorescent fusion proteins are widely used to study protein localization and interaction dynamics in living cells. However, to fully characterize proteins and to understand their function it is crucial to determine biochemical characteristics such as ...

Single-stranded DNA binding proteins influence APOBEC3A substrate preference
The cytidine deaminase, APOBEC3A (A3A), is a prominent source of mutations in multiple cancer types. These APOBEC-signature mutations are non-uniformly distributed across cancer genomes, associating with single-stranded (ss) DNA formed during DNA ...

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.

Analyzing the Surface Structure of the Binding Domain on DNA and RNA Binding Proteins
The study of nucleic acid-binding protein (NBP) has important significance for us to understand critical intracellular activities, such as the transmission of cellular genetic information, cell metabolism, substance transport, and signal transduction ...

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 ...
