DNA上蛋白质结合的离散持久链模型

Discrete Persistent Chain Model for Protein Binding on DNA

Pui-Man Lam, Yi Zhen

摘要:

我们描述并解决了一个离散的持久链模型的蛋白质结合的DNA,涉及一个额外的sigma_i s在一个网站i的DNA。该变量的值为1或0,这取决于该位点是否被蛋白质占据。此外,如果该位点被蛋白质占据,则会产生额外的能量消耗。对于较小的力,我们得到了力-延伸曲线和DNA上结合蛋白质的分数的解析表达式;对于较大的力,我们可以数值求解模型,得到力-延伸曲线和DNA上结合蛋白质的平均分数随力的变化.该模型可用于分析蛋白质与DNA结合的实验力延伸曲线,从而推断非特异性结合情况下结合蛋白质的数目。

英文摘要:

We describe and solve a discrete persistent chain model of protein binding on DNA, involving an extra sigma_i s at a site i of the DNA. This variable takes the value 1 or 0 depending on whether the site is occupied by a protein or not. In addition, if the site is occupied by a protein, there is an extra energy cost epsilon. For small force, we obtain analytic expressions for the force-extension curve and the fraction of bound protein on the DNA.For higher forces, the model can be solved numerically to obtain force extension curves and the average fraction of bound proteins as a function of applied force. Our model can be used to analyze experimental force extension curves of protein binding on DNA, and hence deduce the number of bound proteins in the case of non-specific binding.
