Osmotic shock has been used in the extraction of hydrolytic enzymes and binding proteins from a number of Gram-negative bacteria, including Salmonella typhimurium and E. coli, and in the release of DNA from T(even) bacteriophages by rupture of the protein coat... It has been suggested that the sudden increase in the osmotic pressure inside the cell causes the release of certain cell constituents. 3, record 1, English, - osmotic%20shock

A protein which binds tightly and cooperatively to single-stranded DNA. The protein facilitates DNA unwinding within a cell by lowering helix stability by virtue of tight cooperated binding to exposed single strands of DNA. It has a function in genetic recombination and in the replication of DNA. Such proteins have been isolated from bacterial cells infected with a number of different viruses and also from eukaryotic cells. 2, record 2, English, - DNA%2Dunwinding%20protein

Three active demethylation mechanisms have been proposed.... The first mechanism is direct replacement of the methyl moiety by a hydrogen atom.

Le déroulement des deux biens de la molécule de DNA entraîne la formation de zones monocoténaires. Ces zones simple brin doivent être stabilisées (suppression du réappariement des deux brins de la molécule de DNA) et protégées de l'action des DNases. Ces fonctions semblent être assurées par une protéine appelée «DNA binding protein» qui se lie spécifiquement au DNA simple chaîne [...]. C'est le complexe formé par l'association entre le DNA monocoténaire et la protéine de liaison au DNA qui constitue en fait le substrat de la DNA polymérase III et des autres protéines qui jouent un rôle dans la réplication. 1, record 6, French, - prot%C3%A9ine%20de%20liaison%20au%20DNA

A very original set of experiments carried out by the Unit of Molecular Biology of Gene Expression concerns another protein essential for mouse development that is also a transcription factor. This factor known as KBF2 or RBP-Jk is homologous to a Drosophila gene product, Su(H)(Suppressor of Hairless), which belongs to the Notch signal transduction cascade involved in regulating the competence of a cell to respond to specific developmental cues. A likely function of the Su(H) protein is to serve as an anchor on DNA for non DNA-binding transcriptional activators. This function is conserved in the Notch pathway : the activation of this transmembrane receptor likely involves a proteolytic cleavage step which releases its intracellular domain; following nuclear translocation, it activates its target genes by binding to the Su(H) protein, which is already bound to several sites in the target promoters. 2, record 7, English, - Su%28H%29%20protein

Binding of the TATA Binding Protein(TBP) to the TATA box is the first step in the formation of the transcription pre-initiation complex(Nakajima, et. al, 1988). TBP demonstrates DNA binding properties unique among the sequence-specific DNA binding proteins, namely a strong temperature dependence of binding and slow on/off rates(Horikoshi, et. al, 1988; Lee, et. al, 1992). In this study, the temperature dependent binding of yeast TBP(yTBP) to the TATA box consensus sequence from adenovirus major late promoter is characterized. Equilibrium dissociation constants(Kds) were determined for yTBP binding to the TATA box at both 25° C and 37° C. 3, record 8, English, - major%20late%20promoter
