陷阱存在下DNA-蛋白质位点特异性相互作用机理的理论

Theory on the mechanism of site-specific DNA-protein interactions in the presence of traps

G. Niranjani, R. Murugan

摘要:

转录因子(TF)蛋白与基因组DNA的位点特异性结合的速度似乎被随机发生的序列陷阱强烈阻碍。陷阱是那些与原始特异性结合位点具有显著相似性的DNA序列。如何设计天然存在的TF及其特异性结合位点来管理这种随机存在的陷阱的阻滞效应是一个有趣的问题。我们建立了一个简单的随机游走模型,研究了在序列陷阱存在下转录因子与基因组DNA的位点特异性结合。我们的动力学模型预测:(a)当陷阱围绕特定的结合位点排列时,陷阱的阻滞效应最小,使得陷阱与陷阱的结合强度与陷阱距特定结合位点的距离呈负相关;(b)DNA的凝聚构象状态可以缓和序列陷阱的阻滞效应。我们对小鼠和人类基因组中各种TF的推定结合位点周围的序列陷阱分布的计算分析结果清楚地符合理论预测。我们建议,陷阱的分布可以被用作一个额外的度量,以有效地确定特定的结合位点的基因组DNA上的TF。

英文摘要:

The speed of site-specific binding of transcription factor (TFs) proteins with genomic DNA seems to be strongly retarded by the randomly occurring sequence traps. Traps are those DNA sequences sharing significant similarity with the original specific binding sites. It is an intriguing question how the naturally occurring TFs and their specific binding sites are designed to manage the retarding effects of such randomly occurring traps. We develop a simple random walk model on the site-specific binding of TFs with genomic DNA in the presence of sequence traps. Our dynamical model predicts that (a) the retarding effects of traps will be minimum when the traps are arranged around the specific binding site such that there is a negative correlation between the binding strength of TFs with traps and the distance of traps from the specific binding site and (b) the retarding effects of sequence traps can be appeased by the condensed conformational state of DNA. Our computational analysis results on the distribution of sequence traps around the putative binding sites of various TFs in mouse and human genome clearly agree well the theoretical predictions. We propose that the distribution of traps can be used as an additional metric to efficiently identify the specific binding sites of TFs on genomic DNA.
