While, strictly speaking, the term
refers to the DNA sequence that determines where a polymerase
initiates transcription, the term is often used to refer
to both a promoter and its associated -
control elements.

As noted earlier, transcription from many eukaryotic promoters
can be stimulated by control elements located thousands
of base pairs away from the transcription start site.
Such long-distance transcription-control elements, referred
to as , are common in eukaryotic genomes but
fairly rare in genomes.

The general consensus
now is that a spectrum of control elements regulates transcription
by RNA polymerase . At one extreme are ,
which can stimulate transcription from a promoter tens
of thousands of base pairs away. At the other extreme are
- elements, such as the upstream elements
controlling the HSV-I tk gene, which lose their influence
when moved 30–50 bp farther from the promoter.

In this approach, a DNA
regulatory element that has been identified by the kinds
of mutational analyses described above is used to identify

proteins are footprinting and the .

Like activators,
most eukaryotic repressors are modular proteins that
have two functional domains: a domain and a

Fülle die Lücken, um den Text zu vervollständigen.

Many bacterial repressors are dimeric proteins in
which an α helix from each monomer inserts into the major
groove in the DNA helix and makes multiple, specific interactions
with the atoms there (Figure 9-29). This α helix
is referred to as the or because most of the amino acid side chains that contact
bases in the DNA extend from this helix.

The recognition
helix, which protrudes from the surface of a bacterial
repressor, is usually supported in the protein structure in
part by interactions with a second α helix just
N-terminal to it. This entire structural element, which is
present in many bacterial repressors, is called a -
.

Many eukaryotic transcription factors
that function during development contain a conserved
60-residue DNA-binding motif, called a , that
is similar to the helix-turn-helix motif of bacterial repressors.

The zinc finger is the most DNA-binding

other mammals.

A second type of zinc-finger structure, designated the
zinc finger (because it has four conserved cysteines
in contact with the Zn2+), is found in some 50 human transcription factors.

Another structural motif present
in the DNA-binding domains of a large class of transcription
factors contains the hydrophobic amino acid at
every position in the sequence. These proteins bind
to DNA as , and mutagenesis of the leucines showed
that they were required for . Consequently, the
name leucine was coined to denote this structural
motif of a coiled coil of two α helixes.

Fülle die Lücken, um den Text zu vervollständigen.

The DNA-binding
domain of another class of dimeric transcription factors
contains a structural motif that is very similar to the basiczipper
motif except that a nonhelical loop of the polypeptide
chain separates two α-helical regions in each monomer
(Figure 9-30d). Termed a -- (bHLH), this
motif was predicted from the amino acid sequences of these
proteins, which contain an N-terminal α helix with basic
residues that interact with DNA, a middle loop region, and
a C-terminal region, with hydrophobic amino acids spaced
at intervals characteristic of an amphipathic α helix, that dimerizes
into a coiled coil. As with basic-zipper proteins, different
bHLH proteins can form heterodimers.

Biophysical studies indicate that acidic activation domains

conformation. These domains stimulate transcription

Analysis of the roughly 50-bp enhancer
that regulates expression of β-interferon, an important protein
in defense against viral infections in vertebrates, provides
a good example of the structure of the DNA-binding
domains of several transcription factors bound to the several
transcription-factor-binding sites that constitute an enhancer
(Figure 9-34). The term has been coined to
describe such large DNA-protein complexes that assemble
from transcription factors as they bind to the multiple binding
sites in an enhancer.

Erklärung

Frage 19 von 28

1

This tolerance for variable spacing between binding
sites for specific transcription factors, and between promoter
binding sites for the general transcription factors and
for Pol II, probably contributed to rapid evolution of gene
control in eukaryotes.
