However, DNA can also serve as an allosteric ligand whose binding modifies the conformation of transcriptional regulators. Here, we describe how heterodimer PBX1:PREP1, formed by proteins playing major roles in embryonic development and tumorigenesis, undergoes an allosteric transition upon DNA binding. We demonstrate through a number of biochemical and biophysical methods that PBX1:PREP1 exhibits a structural change upon DNA binding. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), circular dichroism (CD), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and limited proteolysis demonstrate a different shape, α-helical content, thermodynamic behavior, and solution environment of the holo-complex (with DNA) compared to the apo-complex (without DNA). Given that PBX1 as such does not have a defined DNA selectivity, structural changes upon DNA binding become major factors in the function of the PBX1:PREP1 complex. The observed changes are mapped at both the amino- and carboxy-terminal regions of the two proteins thereby providing important insights to determine how PBX1:PREP1 dimer functions. データベース: Small-angle scattering data are available in SASBDB under accession numbers SASDAP7, SASDAQ7, and SASDAR7.
