A model is presented for the structure of the lactose repressor protein and for its interaction with inducer, operator DNA, and nonspecific DNA. The proposed structure is based on experimental evidence from this laboratory and from the literature and is offered as an integration of the available data on this system. Features unique to this model include: (i) interaction of the core region of the protein with the operator, (ii) primary effects of the conformational change in response to inducer on the core-operator interaction, (iii) contacts between all four subunits of the protein and the operator DNA, and (iv) qualitative differences in operator and nonspecific DNA binding.
本文提出了一种乳糖阻遏蛋白的结构模型,以及该蛋白与诱导剂、操纵基因DNA和非特异性DNA相互作用的模型。所提出的结构基于本实验室和文献中的实验证据,并作为该系统现有数据的整合呈现。该模型的独特特征包括:(i)蛋白质核心区域与操纵基因的相互作用;(ii)响应诱导剂时构象变化对核心-操纵基因相互作用的主要影响;(iii)蛋白质的所有四个亚基与操纵基因DNA之间的接触;以及(iv)操纵基因与非特异性DNA结合的质量差异。
