TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Physicochemical properties and distinct DNA binding capacity of the repressor of temperate Staphylococcus aureus phage /11

The repressor protein and cognate operator DNA of any temperateStaph-ylococcus aureusphage have not been investigated in depth, despite having the potential to enrich the molecular biology of the staphylococcal system.

In the present study using the extremely pure repressor of temperate Staphylococcus aureus phage 11 CI we demonstrate that CI is composed of a-helix and b-sheet to a substantial extent at room temperature possesses two domains unfolds at temperatures above 39 C and binds to two sites in the 11 cI-cro intergenic region with variable affinity. The above CI binding sites harbor two homologous 15 bp inverted repeats O1 and O2 which are spaced 18 bp apart. Several guanine bases located in and around O1 and O2 demonstrate interaction with CI indicating that these 15 bp sites are used as operators for repressor binding. CI interacted with O1 and O2 in a cooperative manner and was found to bind to operator DNA as a homodimer. Interestingly CI did not show appreciable binding to another homologous 15 bp site O3 that was located in the same primary immunity region as O1 and O2. Taken together these results suggest that 11 CI and the 11 CI-operator complex resemble significantly those of the lambdoid phages at the structural level. The mode of action of 11 CI however may be .
