The multiprotein-DNA complexes that participate in bacteriophage lambda site-specific recombination were used to study the combined effect of protein-induced bending and protein-mediated looping of DNA. The protein integrase (Int) is a monomer with two autonomous DNA binding domains of different sequence specificity. Stimulation of Int binding and cleavage at the low affinity core-type DNA sites required interactions with the high affinity arm-type sites and depended on simultaneous binding of the sequence-specific DNA bending protein IHF (integration host factor). The bivalent DNA binding protein is positioned at high affinity sites and directed, by a DNA bending protein, to interactions with distant lower affinity sites. Assembly of this complex is independent of protein-protein interactions.
参与噬菌体λ位点特异性重组的多蛋白-DNA复合物被用于研究蛋白质诱导的DNA弯曲和蛋白质介导的DNA环化的联合效应。蛋白质整合酶(Int)是一种单体,具有两个序列特异性不同的自主DNA结合结构域。在低亲和力核心型DNA位点刺激Int结合和切割需要与高亲和力臂型位点相互作用,并依赖于序列特异性DNA弯曲蛋白IHF(整合宿主因子)的同时结合。二价DNA结合蛋白定位在高亲和力位点,并由一种DNA弯曲蛋白引导,与远处的低亲和力位点相互作用。该复合物的组装不依赖于蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用。
