Lac repressor

Repressors are proteins that interact with inducers and operators to regulate the synthesis of enzymes in the cell. Lac repressor ensures that sufficient β-galactosidase is available to the bacterium Escherichia coli, depending upon the amount of lactose present in the culture medium. It has proved possible to isolate lac repressor from E.coli. The present progress report describes how these discoveries were made, as well as the formation and mode of action of the repressor.     

中国紫胶树脂基本组成的研究

定量测定了紫胶树脂基本成分的含量；分离得到了紫胶树脂 状脂肪酸和环状萜烯酸的代表物－－紫胶桐酸和壳脑酸。研究发现国产紫胶中软树脂含量高于印度紫胶。结果证明国产紫胶与印度胶在组成和树脂分子构成方面基本一致。     

受乳糖启动子控制的基因表达过程的优化

借助于ＳＤＳ－聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析方法，对乳糖诱导的由乳糖启动子控制的大肠杆菌ＲＮＡ聚合酶σ７０因子基因表达过程进行了优化研究．结果表明，含此融合基因的大肠杆菌菌株ＢＬ２１（ＤＥ３）ｐＧＥＭＤ的生长量达到ＯＤ６００ｎｍ＝１．０时，用终浓度为０．０８％的乳糖进行连续５ｈ的诱导，可使大肠杆菌ＲＮＡ聚合酶σ７０因子基因的表达量达到最大，并达到ＩＰＴＧ同样的诱导效果．流加低浓度的乳糖溶液能增加σ７０因子的合成量，但是促进作用不很显著．     

Immobilisation of a repressor protein for binding of plasmid DNA

The use of plasmid DNA in gene therapy and genetic vaccination has increased the need for scalable and sustainable production processes. One key challenge for bioprocess engineering is the separation of plasmid DNA from structurally related impurities. Affinity purification procedures allow a highly selective capturing of the target molecule. In this paper, we present the isolation of a his-tagged lac repressor, its non-covalent immobilisation to different matrices and binding of DNA, thus enabling us to screen for combinations of ligands and stationary phases by using a building block principle.     

蛋白质与线性DNA片断结合过程中的末端效应

各种体外实验技术被广泛地用来研究DNA-蛋白质之间的相互作用, 但体外和体内实验一个最明显的区别是实验使用的DNA片段远远短于基因组DNA, 因而多出了大量线性DNA分子末端. 末端问题曾倍受关注, 若干研究小组在不同系统中对其进行了研究, 但结果却并不一致, 甚至完全相反. 本文利用表面等离子共振技术(SPR)对一系列不同长度非特异DNA和Mnt阻遏蛋白结合和解离过程进行实时监测, 结果表明该蛋白在线性DNA分子末端有比内部位点更高的解离速率. 通过考察在不同位点含有特异序列的DNA与Mnt阻遏蛋白的结合过程, 发现线性DNA分子末端在一定距离内会直接影响DNA与该蛋白的特异性结合.     

Binding of regulatory protein omega from Streptococcus pyogenes plasmid pSM19035 to direct and inverted 7‐base pair repeats of operator DNA

pSM19035‐encoded dimeric regulator omega (ω₂) belongs to the MetJ/Arc family of ribbon–helix–helix DNA binding proteins. ω₂ binds to a set of unspaced 7‐base pair repeat units with sequence 5′‐^A/_TATCAC^A/_T‐3′. Protein ω₂ and its variant ω₂ΔN18, lacking the first 18 N‐terminal amino acids, bind poorly to one heptad DNA, but the affinity to DNA markedly increases with two and more heptads organized in direct or inverted orientation. Raman difference spectra indicate that ω₂ and ω₂ΔN18 bind to operator DNA in the major groove and contact thymine, adenine and guanine residues. The mode of ω₂ or ω₂ΔN18 interaction with operator DNA is not affected by the orientation and number of heptads. The Raman data of ω₂T29A, an ω₂ variant with Ala instead of Thr at position 29 of the β‐sheet, show a sequence‐independent binding mode to DNA, which differs from the binding mode of wt ω₂ protein to its cognate site. The Raman data strongly support the notion that the 18 N‐terminal amino acids are not required for ω₂ activity, whereas Thr29 plays an essential role for operator DNA binding. The data suggest the formation of a hydrogen bond between Thr29 of wild‐type ω₂ to one of the bases in the central 5′‐TCA‐3′/5′‐TGA‐3′ stretch of the 7‐bp binding site.
