Book A Laboratory Guide to In Vitro Studies of Protein DNA Interactions

Download or read book A Laboratory Guide to In Vitro Studies of Protein DNA Interactions written by Jost and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Safety Considerations Many techniques described here involve a number of hazards, such as high electrical current and voltage, radioactivity and highly toxic chemicals. It is absolutely essential that the instructions of equipment manufacturers be followed, and that particular attention be paid to the local and federal safety regulations. B Introduction The expression of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes has been shown most often to be regulated at the level of mRNA synthesis. Thanks to the rapid development of methods for dissecting DNA sequences, cis-acting regulatory elements such as promoters and enhancers have been recognised. More recently, the widely expressed intuition that discrete sequences within these elements constitute binding sites for sequence-specific binding proteins has been confirmed, especially through the use of "footprinting" assays (for examples, Galas and Schmitz, 1978). This and similar assays have already resulted in the recognition, isolation and analysis of DNA-bind ing proteins for several genes. Excellent reviews exist of the structural studies on these transcription regulatory proteins and related DNA elements (for example, Glover, 1989 and Johnson and McKnight, 1989), to which the reader is referred for detailed information. To set the scene for applications of the techniques described in this volume, only the barest outline of previous studies is presented here. Protein-DNA interactions are dependent on very specific tertiary configurations of the binding protein which allow the closest contact with the DNA helix.

Book Protein Interaction Networks

Download or read book Protein Interaction Networks written by Aidong Zhang and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-06 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of protein-protein interactions is fundamental to the understanding of cellular organization, processes, and functions. Proteins seldom act as single isolated species; rather, proteins involved in the same cellular processes often interact with each other. Functions of uncharacterized proteins can be predicted through comparison with the interactions of similar known proteins. Recent large-scale investigations of protein-protein interactions using such techniques as two-hybrid systems, mass spectrometry, and protein microarrays have enriched the available protein interaction data and facilitated the construction of integrated protein-protein interaction networks. The resulting large volume of protein-protein interaction data has posed a challenge to experimental investigation. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the computational methods available for the analysis of protein-protein interaction networks. It offers an in-depth survey of a range of approaches, including statistical, topological, data-mining, and ontology-based methods. The author discusses the fundamental principles underlying each of these approaches and their respective benefits and drawbacks, and she offers suggestions for future research.

Book Protein Purification and Analysis I

Download or read book Protein Purification and Analysis I written by IConcept Press Staff and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1 is a review of the bioinformatics literature on protein-protein interactions (PPIs). A protein-protein interaction network (PPIN) is a collection of PPIs, often deposited in online databases. PPINs may complement other datasets, such as protein structural information. Chapter 2 describes the usability and advantages of the micro-patterning technique to study protein-protein interactions in a live cell context. It summarizes results achieved so far, discusses latest technical developments and describes potential future applications. Chapter 3 describes a strategy for identification of protein peptides cross-linked to radiolabeled RNA derivatives in specific complexes of proteins or ribonucleoproteins with these derivatives. This strategy is alternative to the identification based on mass-spectrometry and can be used for determination of protein sites involved in interactions with specific RNAs when mass-spectrometry is not applicable. Chapter 4 describes biochemical methods for assessing interaction between distinct ligand-gated channels. This chapter proposes also methods to examine functional impact of these receptor-receptor interactions in the nervous system. Chapter 5 proposes a statistical approach based on Structural Equation Modeling, in combination with step-wise factor analysis, to infer protein-DNA interactions for gene transcriptional control in the absence of protein information. Such approach only uses gene expression profiles. Chapter 6 describes procedures for the biochemical analysis of amyloid proteins in transgenic Drosophila, specifically the prion protein. The authors show that protocols from the mammalian literature can be easily adapted and scaled to these small flies and by ensuring robust expression of the prion protein and proper handling of these delicate samples. Chapter 7 discusses DEAD-box proteins. DEAD-box protein family members participate in many aspects of RNA metabolism, particularly in the ATP-driven disruption of secondary structures of RNA. Genes coding for these types of proteins are recognised in all free living bacteria. Chapter 8 provides an experimental model of restriction-modification enzyme fusion and proposes a molecular mechanism for appearance of type IIC restriction-modification and M.SsoII-related enzymes, as well as other multifunctional proteins. Chapter 9 describes the role of branched chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine, in exercise with respect to performance, muscle kinetics, fatigue and immunity. It also discusses the existing evidence on any superior benefits of branched chain amino acid supplements to exercising individuals and athletes. Chapter 10 provides an overview of the protein-peptide based research in dermatology and the recent emergence of many new dermatologic therapeutic modalities. Chapter 11 summarizes the adverse health effects of prenatal or early postnatal exposure to environmental pollutants (lead, arsenic and dioxins are the best known), pharmaceuticals, some food additives, and other chemicals through the mechanism of cell deprogramming or imprinting. Chapter 12 put forward 2D-PAGE as an important tool, especially for clinical laboratories involved in the determination of protein expression levels and disease biomarker discovery. Chapter 13 shows how to investigate and characterize an open reading frame, from exploiting the similarity in amino acid sequence, until the cloning, expression, purification and activity of the protein and its biological partners. Chapter 14 focuses on the cloning, heterologous expression and physicochemical characterization of Als5, one of the GPI-anchored adhesins from Candida albicans.

Book Protein Protein Interactions

Download or read book Protein Protein Interactions written by Weibo Cai and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteins are indispensable players in virtually all biological events. The functions of proteins are coordinated through intricate regulatory networks of transient protein-protein interactions (PPIs). To predict and/or study PPIs, a wide variety of techniques have been developed over the last several decades. Many in vitro and in vivo assays have been implemented to explore the mechanism of these ubiquitous interactions. However, despite significant advances in these experimental approaches, many limitations exist such as false-positives/false-negatives, difficulty in obtaining crystal structures of proteins, challenges in the detection of transient PPI, among others. To overcome these limitations, many computational approaches have been developed which are becoming increasingly widely used to facilitate the investigation of PPIs. This book has gathered an ensemble of experts in the field, in 22 chapters, which have been broadly categorized into Computational Approaches, Experimental Approaches, and Others.
