  • Title: [1H-NMR study of the OR1 operon in bacteriophage lambda. I. Assignment of signals from imino protons and adenine C2 protons].

    Abstract:
    An oligodeoxyribonucleotide composed of 17 residues, d(TATCACCGCCAGAGGTA), and a complementary chain were synthesized. Their duplex was identical with the operator OR1, the binding site for bacteriophage lambda cro and c1 repressors. The 1H NMR spectra (500 MHz) of the duplex imino and aromatic protons were studied at 10, 20 and 25 degrees C. Signals from the imino protons of complementary base pairs and from the C2 protons of adenine (with the exception of the duplex terminal nucleotides) were assigned using the NOE technique and the known characteristics of short DNA fragment melting. No signals from the imino protons of the terminal base pairs were detected even at 10 degrees C due to fraying which increased as the temperature was raised. The assignment of signals can be used to identify centers of interaction between the operator OR1 and repressors, as well as to study possible local changes in DNA geometry.
