ABSTRACT chkYB-2 is a sequence-specific, single-stranded DNA binding chicken Y-box protein that promotes Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat (RSV LTR)-driven transcription in avian fibroblasts. The DNA-binding domain of chkYB-2 has been mapped by characterizing the DNA binding properties of purified recombinant chkYB-2 mutant polypeptides. The data indicate that the invariant cold shock domain (CSD) is necessary but not sufficient for association with DNA and suggest that another conserved region, adjacent to the carboxyl boundary of the CSD, plays a role in high-affinity DNA binding. chkYB-2 binds to a tandem repeat of the 5′-GTACCACC-3′ motif on the RSV LTR. Mutational analysis of this recognition sequence revealed the requirement of an essentially unaltered template for both high-affinity binding by chkYB-2 as well as maximal transcriptional activity of the RSV LTR in vivo. The single-stranded DNA binding activity of chkYB-2 is augmented by Mg2+. The possible significance of this finding for transactivation by a single-strand DNA binding protein is discussed.

The internal enhancer binding factor (IBF) that specifically binds sequences within the gag gene internal enhancer of Rous sarcoma virus Schmidt-Ruppin A was purified to near homogeneity from BHK cells. The polypeptides that constituted IBF DNA-binding activity were identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel analysis. As isolated from BHK cells, IBF consisted of two different but related polypeptides. One (IBF alpha) had a molecular weight of 40,000; the other (IBF beta) had a molecular weight of 20,000 and appeared to be a proteolytic product of IBF alpha. The site within the gag gene to which IBF bounds in vitro (internal enhancer site 2; nucleotides 856 to 878 of the Rous sarcoma virus genome) were demonstrated to function as a cis-acting transcriptional stimulatory element both in vivo and in vitro. By using HeLa cell nuclear transcription extracts, purified IBF was found to function as a trans-acting transcription factor that stimulated transcription in vitro. Purified IBF was also demonstrated to be very similar to EBP20 (K. Carlberg, T. A. Ryden, and K. Beemon, J. Virol. 62:1617-1624, 1988), and it may well belong to the same family of DNA-binding proteins.

Aim and Objective:: Given the rapidly increasing number of molecular biology data available, computational methods of low complexity are necessary to infer protein structure, function, and evolution. Method:: In the work, we proposed a novel mthod, FermatS, which based on the global position information and local position representation from the curve and normalized moments of inertia, respectively, to extract features information of protein sequences. Furthermore, we use the generated features by FermatS method to analyze the similarity/dissimilarity of nine ND5 proteins and establish the prediction model of DNA-binding proteins based on logistic regression with 5-fold crossvalidation. Results:: In the similarity/dissimilarity analysis of nine ND5 proteins, the results are consistent with evolutionary theory. Moreover, this method can effectively predict the DNA-binding proteins in realistic situations. Conclusion:: The findings demonstrate that the proposed method is effective for comparing, recognizing and predicting protein sequences.
