Regulation of protein-DNA binding specificity occurs through myriad mechanisms. Boudet et al. discover yet a new form of specificity through allosteric regulation, an ATP-induced structural switch that mediates specific DNA recognition in an archaeoeukaryotic primase.
蛋白质与 DNA 结合特异性的调节是通过无数种机制实现的。Boudet 等人通过别构调控发现了一种新的特异性形式,即 ATP 诱导的结构开关,该开关介导古核真核引物酶中特定的 DNA 识别。
