Project description:Transcription factors (TF) recognize specific genomic sequences to regulate complex gene expression programs. Although it is well established that TFs bind specific DNA sequences using a combination of base readout and shape recognition, some fundamental aspects of protein-DNA binding remain poorly understood. Many DNA-binding proteins induce changes in the DNA structure outside the intrinsic B-DNA envelope. However, how the energetic cost associated with distorting DNA contributes to recognition has proven difficult to study because the distorted DNA exists in low-abundance in the unbound ensemble. Here, we use a novel high-throughput assay called SaMBA (Saturation Mismatch-Binding Assay) to investigate the role of DNA conformational penalties in TF-DNA recognition. In SaMBA, mismatches are introduced to pre-induce DNA structural distortions much larger than those induced by changes in Watson-Crick sequence. Strikingly, approximately 10% of mismatches increased TF binding, and at least one mismatch was found that increased the binding affinity for each of 22 examined TFs. Mismatches also converted non-specific sites into high-affinity sites, and high-affinity sites into super-sites stronger than any known canonical binding site. Determination of high-resolution X-ray structures, combined with NMR measurements and structural analyses revealed that many of the mismatches that increase binding induce distortions similar to those induced by protein binding, thus pre-paying some of the energetic cost to deform the DNA. Our work indicates that conformational penalties are a major determinant of protein-DNA recognition, and reveals mechanisms by which mismatches can recruit TFs and thus modulate replication and repair activities in the cell.
