Abstract

Cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) complexed with cAMP binds to DNA and induces sharp DNA bending around ${\sim}90$ degree. Previous publication (5), however, reported that mutant CRP:cGMP complex showed high migration rate relative to mutant CRP:cAMP complex on native polyacrylamide gel. To confirm DNA structural change in the presence of CRP and cyclic nucleotide, molar cyclization factor $(j_M)$ [13] was measured with 6 constructed DNA fragments. Nonlinear regression analysis of $j_M$ data indicated that mutant CRP did not induce DNA bending in the presence of cGMP but bent DNA in the presence of cAMP without any helical twist change in DNA.

cAMP와 복합체를 형성한 cAMP 수용성 단백질은 DNA와 결합하여 ${\sim}90$도 정도의 예리한 DNA bending을 유도한다. 그러나 이전의 논문[5]에 의하면 돌연변이 CRP:cGMP 복합체는 돌연변이 CRP:cAMP 복합체보다 아크릴아미드 겔에서 상대적으로 빠른 이동속도를 보였다. CRP와 cyclic nucleotide 존재하에서 DNA의 구조 변화를 알아보기 위하여 6가지 준비된 DNA조각들을 사용하여 몰 고리화 인자(molar cyclization factor)[13]를 측정하였다. 이들 자료를 사용하여 nonlinear regression analysis를 통하여 cGMP 존재하에서 돌연변이 CRP는 DNA bending을 형성하지 않으나 CAMP 존재하에서 나선 꼬임과 같은 DNA 구조 변화없이 DNA bending을 형성한다.
