Interplay of protein and DNA structure revealed in simulations of the lac operon. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The E. coli Lac repressor is the classic textbook example of a protein that attaches to widely spaced sites along a genome and forces the intervening DNA into a loop.

A monomeric mycobacteriophage immunity repressor utilizes two domains to recognize an asymmetric DNA sequence

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Bacteriophage repressor proteins downregulate viral lytic gene expression. Herein, the authors present the X-ray crystal structure of a monomeric repressor that binds an asymmetric DNA sequence using two independent domains.

TReSR: A PCR-compatible DNA sequence design method for engineering proteins containing tandem repeats

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Protein tandem repeats (TRs) are motifs comprised of near-identical contiguous sequence duplications. They are found in approximately 14% of all proteins and are implicated in diverse biological functions facilitating both structured and disordered ...

Dissecting and circumventing the requirement for RAM in CSL-dependent Notch signaling. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The Notch signaling pathway is an intercellular communication network vital to metazoan development. Notch activation leads to the nuclear localization of the intracellular portion (NICD) of the Notch receptor.

Optimization of Cdx Transcription Factors Characteristics

open access: yesЖурнал інженерних наук, 2023
This study presents a new application of TOPSIS for the optimization of transcription factors characteristics. This application is essential as it can help compare the characteristics of these proteins and determine the optimized output of their ...

Evi-1 Transforming and Repressor Activities Are Mediated by CtBP Co-repressor Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Ectopic production of the EVI1 transcriptional repressor zinc finger protein is seen in 4--6% of human acute myeloid leukemias. Overexpression also transforms Rat1 fibroblasts by an unknown mechanism, which is likely to be related to its role in leukemia and which depends upon its repressor activity.

The N-terminal domain of the repressor of Staphylococcus aureus phage Φ11 possesses an unusual dimerization ability and DNA binding affinity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Bacteriophage Φ11 uses Staphylococcus aureus as its host and, like lambdoid phages, harbors three homologous operators in between its two divergently oriented repressor genes. None of the repressors of Φ11, however, showed binding to all three operators,

Evidence-Based Structural Model of the Staphylococcal Repressor Protein: Separation of Functions into Different Domains. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Horizontal transfer of mobile genetic elements within Staphylococci is of high biomedical significance as such elements are frequently responsible for virulence and toxic effects.

Rules of Expansion: an Updated Consensus Operator Site for the CopR-CopY Family of Bacterial Copper Exporter System Repressors

open access: yesmSphere, 2020
Copper is broadly toxic to bacteria. As such, bacteria have evolved specialized copper export systems (cop operons) often consisting of a DNA-binding/copper-responsive regulator (which can be a repressor or activator), a copper chaperone, and a copper ...
