Espeso, EA and Peñalva, MA (1994) In vitro binding of the two-finger repressor CreA to several consensus and non-consensus sites at the ipnA upstream region is context dependent. FEBS Lett. 342:43-8

Abstract

The two zinc-fingers of the Aspergillus nidulans repressor CreA recognize the consensus hexanucleotide 5'-SYGGRG-3'. We have determined all the CreA binding sites in a approximately 2 kb region upstream the ipnA gene. Our analysis shows that (i) CreA binds to certain consensus sites in a context-dependent manner; (ii) five non-consensus 6-bp sequences are also recognized by CreA; this non-canonical binding correlates with the presence of a second, neighbouring CreA binding site, suggesting that recognition of two linked sites stabilizes CreA binding. Our results suggest that the binding possibilities of CreA might be more complex than originally envisaged.
