- W2086102168 abstract "The Escherichia coli Lac and Gal repressors are two members of a large family of bacterial repressor proteins that share significant sequence and structural homology. Efficient repression by all family members requires specific binding to a site or sites close to the transcriptional start of the genes regulated. Both LacR and GalR have to bind to at least two sites for efficient repression, yet they differ in one important respect: LacR is a homotetramer whereas GalR is a homodimer. In an attempt to understand this difference, we studied the operator binding activity of a LacR variant that has the DNA-binding specificity of GalR (LacR-V17A18). A tetrameric version of this protein shows a 30-fold decrease in association rate to operator located on a long (λ) DNA molecule, in comparison to wild-type LacR, while a dimeric version of this protein shows an unaltered association rate in comparison to dimeric LacR. This reduction in association rate correlates with a broadened DNA-binding specificity for base-pairs 4 and 5 of the operator: examination of an additional LacR variant with an even broader DNA-binding specificity indicates that a tetrameric version also shows a 30-fold decrease in association rate in comparison to wild-type LacR, while a dimeric version again shows an unaltered association rate in comparison to dimeric LacR. This difference in association rate in vitro correlates with whether a tetrameric or dimeric variant of LacR of a given DNA-binding specificity will repress lacZ under control of a single operator more efficiently in vivo. We therefore propose that the formation of stable homotetramers becomes a distinct disadvantage unless a high degree of DNA-binding specificity is also present, and demonstrate that this in indeed the case for GalR-mediated repression of the gal operon. This functional constraint seems to have influenced the evolution of the LacI-GalR family of repressors, most of which have a relatively broad specificity of DNA-binding and most of which form only stable homodimers." @default.
