The biotin repressor: thermodynamic coupling of corepressor binding, protein assembly, and sequence-specific DNA binding.
- E. D. Streaker, A. Gupta, D. Beckett
- Biology, Medicine
- Biochemistry
- 9 November 2002
The Escherichia coli biotin repressor, an allosteric transcriptional regulator, is activated for binding to the biotin operator by the small molecule biotinyl-5'-AMP. Results of combined… Expand
Multiple disordered loops function in corepressor-induced dimerization of the biotin repressor.
- K. Kwon, E. D. Streaker, S. Ruparelia, D. Beckett
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of molecular biology
- 15 December 2000
Cooperative association of the Escherichia coli biotin repressor with the biotin operator is allosterically activated by binding of the corepressor, bio-5'-AMP. The corepressor function of the… Expand
Coupling of protein assembly and DNA binding: biotin repressor dimerization precedes biotin operator binding.
- E. D. Streaker, D. Beckett
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of molecular biology
- 31 January 2003
The kinetics of coupling of protein dimerization and DNA binding have been investigated in the biotin repressor system. Two repressor monomers bind to the 40 base-pair biotin operator sequence. In… Expand
Ligand-linked structural changes in the Escherichia coli biotin repressor: the significance of surface loops for binding and allostery.
- E. D. Streaker, D. Beckett
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of molecular biology
- 24 September 1999
The Escherichia coli repressor of biotin biosynthesis (BirA) is an allosteric site-specific DNA-binding protein. BirA catalyzes synthesis of biotinyl-5'-AMP from substrates biotin and ATP and the… Expand
Binding specificity and the ligand dissociation process in the E. coli biotin holoenzyme synthetase
- K. Kwon, E. D. Streaker, D. Beckett
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Protein science : a publication of the Protein…
- 1 March 2002
The binding of the Escherichia coli biotin holoenzyme synthetase to the two ligands, biotin and bio‐5′‐AMP, is coupled to disorder‐to‐order transitions in the protein. In the structure of the biotin… Expand
A map of the biotin repressor-biotin operator interface: binding of a winged helix-turn-helix protein dimer to a forty base-pair site.
- E. D. Streaker, D. Beckett
- Biology, Chemistry
- Journal of molecular biology
- 15 May 1998
The Escherichia coli biotin repressor is a member of the "winged helix-turn-helix" class of site-specific DNA binding proteins. The protein binds as a dimer to the 40 bp biotin operator sequence.… Expand
Nonenzymatic biotinylation of a biotin carboxyl carrier protein: Unusual reactivity of the physiological target lysine
- E. D. Streaker, D. Beckett
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Protein science : a publication of the Protein…
- 1 August 2006
Enzyme‐catalyzed addition of biotin to proteins is highly specific. In any single organism one or a small number of proteins are biotinylated and only a single lysine on each of these proteins is… Expand
Coupling of site-specific DNA binding to protein dimerization in assembly of the biotin repressor-biotin operator complex.
- E. D. Streaker, D. Beckett
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Biochemistry
- 3 March 1998
The Escherichia coli repressor of biotin biosynthesis, BirA, binds site-specifically to the biotin operator, a 40 base pair imperfect inverted palindrome. Two repressor monomers have been shown to… Expand
Allosteric signaling in the biotin repressor occurs via local folding coupled to global dampening of protein dynamics.
- Olli Laine, E. D. Streaker, Maryam Nabavi, C. Fenselau, D. Beckett
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of molecular biology
- 1 August 2008
The biotin repressor is an allosterically regulated, site-specific DNA-binding protein. Binding of the small ligand bio-5'-AMP activates repressor dimerization, which is a prerequisite to DNA… Expand
The biotin regulatory system: kinetic control of a transcriptional switch.
- E. D. Streaker, D. Beckett
- Biology, Medicine
- Biochemistry
- 23 May 2006
An organism's response to environmental and metabolic cues requires communication between transcription regulatory processes and "other" cellular events. In a number of biological control circuits,… Expand
