Plasticity in Repressor-DNA Interactions Neutralizes Loss of Symmetry in Bipartite Operators

Abstract: Transcription factor-DNA interactions are central to gene regulation. Many transcription factors regulate multiple target genes and can bind sequences that do not conform strictly to the consensus. To understand the structural mechanism utilized by the transcription regulators to bind diverse target sequences, we have employed the repressor AraR from Bacillus subtilis as a model system. AraR is known to bind to eight different operator sites in the bacterial genome. Although there are differences in the sequen… Show more

“…To study the effect of ionizing radiation on ds-DNA, we took a 21-base DNA sequence of the operator DNA (ORR3) that binds specifically to the protein AraR from Bacillus subtilis [21]. SAM of ds-DNA was prepared on Ni/Au thin film and subsequently exposed to γ-radiation at different time scales.…”
