Abstract:
:Purine repressor (PurR) binding to specific DNA is enhanced by complexing with purines, whereas lactose repressor (LacI) binding is diminished by interaction with inducer sugars despite 30% identity in their protein sequences and highly homologous tertiary structures. Nonetheless, in switching from low- to high-affinity DNA binding, these proteins undergo a similar structural change in which the hinge region connecting the DNA and effector binding domains folds into an alpha-helix and contacts the DNA minor groove. The differences in response to effector for these proteins should be manifest in the polyelectrolyte effect which arises from cations displaced from DNA by interaction with positively charged side chains on a protein and is quantitated by measurement of DNA binding affinity as a function of ion concentration. Consistent with structural data for these proteins, high-affinity operator DNA binding by the PurR-purine complex involved approximately 15 ion pairs, a value significantly greater than that for the corresponding state of LacI (approximately 6 ion pairs). For both proteins, however, conversion to the low-affinity state results in a decrease of approximately 2-fold in the number of cations released per dimeric DNA binding site. Heat capacity changes (DeltaC(p)) that accompany DNA binding, derived from buried apolar surface area, coupled folding, and restriction of motional freedom of polar groups in the interface, also reflect the differences between these homologous repressor proteins. DNA binding of the PurR-guanine complex is accompanied by a DeltaC(p) (-2.8 kcal mol(-1) K(-1)) more negative than that observed previously for LacI (-0.9 to -1.5 kcal mol(-1) K(-1)), suggesting that more extensive protein folding and/or enhanced structural rigidity may occur upon DNA binding for PurR compared to DNA binding for LacI. The differences between these proteins illustrate plasticity of function despite high-level sequence and structural homology and undermine efforts to predict protein behavior on the basis of such similarities.
