Title
Computational Approach For Modeling And Testing Nf-Kappa B Binding Sites
Abstract
Motifs of Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBS) in DNA are commonly represented by the Position Weight Matrices (PWM). Recently Alamanova et al. devised a method for creating PWMs of transcription factors using 3D structure-based computation of protein-DNA free binding energies. We modify Alamanova et al. approach using volume-fraction corrected DFIRE-based energy function (DDNA3) as a model of protein-DNA interaction. The resulting new PWM matrices for NF-kappa B family show similarity to TRANSFAC matrices and comparable predictive capabilities. Presented approach is general and applicable to any TF for which crystallographic structure of its complex with DNA is available.
