Abstract:
:We have developed Differential Specificity and Energy Landscape (DiSEL) analysis to comprehensively compare DNA-protein interactomes (DPIs) obtained by high-throughput experimental platforms and cutting edge computational methods. While high-affinity DNA binding sites are identified by most methods, DiSEL uncovered nuanced sequence preferences displayed by homologous transcription factors. Pairwise analysis of 726 DPIs uncovered homolog-specific differences at moderate- to low-affinity binding sites (submaximal sites). DiSEL analysis of variants of 41 transcription factors revealed that many disease-causing mutations result in allele-specific changes in binding site preferences. We focused on a set of highly homologous factors that have different biological roles but "read" DNA using identical amino acid side chains. Rather than direct readout, our results indicate that DNA noncontacting side chains allosterically contribute to sculpt distinct sequence preferences among closely related members of transcription factor families.

abstract::CCR5 (R5)-tropic, but not CXCR4 (X4)-tropic, HIV-1 is associated with primary HIV-1 infection and transmission. Recent studies have shown that IFN-induced transmembrane (IFITM) proteins, including IFITM1, IFITM2, and IFITM3, restrict a broad range of viruses. Here, we demonstrate that an IFITM2 isoform (Δ20 IFITM2) la...
