Specificity-determining DNA triplet code for positioning of human pre-initiation complex

Matan Goldshtein, David B. Lukatsky

The notion that transcription factors bind DNA only through specific, consensus binding sites has been recently questioned. In a pioneering study by Pugh and Venters no specific co…

Genome-wide organization of eukaryotic pre-initiation complex is influenced by nonconsensus protein-DNA binding

Ariel Afek, David B. Lukatsky

Genome-wide binding preferences of the key components of eukaryotic pre-initiation complex (PIC) have been recently measured with high resolution in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Rhe…

Nonspecific Protein-DNA Binding Is Widespread in the Yeast Genome

Ariel Afek, David B. Lukatsky

Recent genome-wide measurements of binding preferences of ~200 transcription regulators in the vicinity of transcription start sites in yeast, have provided a unique insight into t…

Nonspecific transcription factor-DNA binding influences nucleosome occupancy in yeast

Ariel Afek, Itamar Sela, Noa Musa-Lempel +1

Quantitative understanding of the principles regulating nucleosome occupancy on a genome-wide level is a central issue in eukaryotic genomics. Here, we address this question using…

DNA sequence correlations shape nonspecific transcription factor-DNA binding affinity

Itamar Sela, David B. Lukatsky

Transcription factors (TFs) are regulatory proteins that bind DNA in promoter regions of the genome and either promote or repress gene expression. Here we predict analytically that…

Energy fluctuations shape free energy of nonspecific biomolecular interactions

Michael Elkin, Ingemar Andre, David B. Lukatsky

Understanding design principles of biomolecular recognition is a key question of molecular biology. Yet the enormous complexity and diversity of biological molecules hamper the eff…
