Impact of Alu repeats on the evolution of human p53 binding sitesFeng Cui
Laboratory of Cell Biology, National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Biol Direct 6:2. 2011..The relationship between these BSs and functional p53 response elements (REs) remains unknown, however. We sought to understand whether the p53 REs also reside in transposable elements and particularly in the most-abundant Alu repeats...
p53 binding to nucleosomal DNA depends on the rotational positioning of DNA response elementGeetaram Sahu
Laboratory of Chemistry, Division of Therapeutic Proteins, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA
J Biol Chem 285:1321-32. 2010..Our observations indicate that the orientation of the binding sites on a nucleosome may play a significant role in the initial p53-DNA recognition and subsequent cofactor recruitment...
Distinctive sequence patterns in metazoan and yeast nucleosomes: implications for linker histone binding to AT-rich and methylated DNAFeng Cui
Laboratory of Cell Biology, National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Nucleic Acids Res 37:2818-29. 2009..The same mechanism accounts for the high affinity of LH to methylated DNA-a feature critical for stabilization of the higher-order structure of chromatin and for repression of transcription...
DNA trajectory in the Gal repressosomeSzabolcs Semsey
Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA
Genes Dev 18:1898-907. 2004..In this structure the center of the HU-binding site is located at the apex of the DNA loop. The approach reported here can be used to distinguish between otherwise indistinguishable DNA trajectories in complex nucleoprotein machines...
Sequence-dependent Kink-and-Slide deformations of nucleosomal DNA facilitated by histone arginines bound in the minor grooveDifei Wang
Laboratory of Cell Biology, National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
J Biomol Struct Dyn 27:843-59. 2010....
A-tract clusters may facilitate DNA packaging in bacterial nucleoidMichael Y Tolstorukov
Laboratory of Experimental and Computational Biology, National Cancer Institute Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Nucleic Acids Res 33:3907-18. 2005....
A novel roll-and-slide mechanism of DNA folding in chromatin: implications for nucleosome positioningMichael Y Tolstorukov
National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
J Mol Biol 371:725-38. 2007..The close correspondence between the predicted and observed nucleosome locations demonstrates the potential advantage of our "structural" approach in the computer mapping of nucleosome positioning...
Structure-based analysis of DNA sequence patterns guiding nucleosome positioning in vitroFeng Cui
Laboratory of Cell Biology, National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
J Biomol Struct Dyn 27:821-41. 2010..The results presented here may be useful for genome-wide classification of nucleosomes, linking together structural and thermodynamic characteristics of nucleosomes with the underlying DNA sequence patterns guiding their positions...
Protein-DNA hydrophobic recognition in the minor groove is facilitated by sugar switchingMichael Y Tolstorukov
Laboratory of Experimental and Computational Biology, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bg. 12B, Rm. B116, Bethesda, MD 20892-5677, USA
J Mol Biol 337:65-76. 2004..The sequence preference for the B-to-A sugar repuckering, observed for pyrimidines, suggests that the described DNA deformations contribute to specificity of the protein-DNA recognition in the minor groove...
Iodine-125 radioprobing of E. coli RNA polymerase transcription elongation complexesValeri N Karamychev
Department of Nuclear Medicine, Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA
Methods Enzymol 371:106-20. 2003
