Bending of synthetic bacteriophage 434 operators by bacteriophage 434 proteins

Received May 17, 1991. Revised July 8, 1991. Accepted July 8, 1991.

The extent of DNA bending induced by 434 repressor, its amino terminal DNA binding domain (R1–69), and 434 Cro was studied by gel shift assay. The results show that 434 repressor and R1–69 bend DNA to the same extent. 434 Cro-induced DNA bends are similar to those seen with the 434 repressor proteins. On ~265 base pair fragments, the cyclic AMP receptor protein of Escherichia coli (CRP) produces larger mobility shifts than does 434 repressor. This indicates that the 434 proteins bend DNA to a much smaller extent than does CRP. The effects of central operator sequence on intrinsic and 434 protein-induced DNA bending was also examined by gel shift assay. Two 434 operators having different central sequences and affinities for 434 proteins display no static bending. The amount of gel shift induced by 434 repressor on these operators is identical, showing that the 434 repressor bends operators with different central sequences to the same extent. Hence, mutations in the central region of the operator do not influence the bent structure of the unbound or bound operator.
