Sites of contact between lambda operators and lambda repressor.

Abstract:

:DNA bearing lambda operator sequences was methylated by dimethyl sulfate (DMS) in the presence or absence of lambda repressor. Under the experimental conditions, DMS methylates only the purine residues. The presence of lambda repressor affects only the methylation of certain G residues in the operators. Repressor blocks the methylation of certain G's and enhances the methylation of other G's. Since the reactive ring-nitrogen of G lies in the major groove of double-stranded DNA, and the reactive ring-nitrogen of A lies in the minor groove, the above results imply that the repressor makes contacts in the major groove of the helix. The repressor effect on G-methylation is sharply confined to the three 17 base pair units within each lambda operator previously proposed as the repressor-binding sites.
