Abstract | Gene regulation requires specific protein-DNA interactions. Detecting the short and variable DNA sequences in gene promoter regions to which transcription factors (TF) bind is a difficult challenge in bioinformatics. Here we have developed two-body and three-body interaction potentials that are able to assess protein-DNA interaction and achieve a higher level of specificity in the recognition of TF-binding sites. The potentials were calculated using experimentally characterized 3-D structures of protein-DNA complexes. We implemented two approaches in order to evaluate the potentials. Using the first method, we calculated the Z-score of the potential energy of a true TF-binding sequence when compared to 50,000 randomly generated DNA sequences. The second method allowed us to take advantage of the ability of statistical potentials to recognize novel TF-binding sites within the promoter region of genes. We found that the three-body potential, which takes into account the interaction between a DNA base and a protein residue with regard to the effect of a neighboring DNA base, had a better average Z-score than that of the two-body potential. This neighbor effect suggests that the local conformation of DNA does play a critical role in specific residue-base recognition. In all cases, the potentials developed here outperformed published results. The two sets of potentials were tested further by applying them in genome-scale TF-binding site prediction for the CRP protein in E. coli. Out of the 142 cases, 28% of the true binding sites ranked first (i.e. had the lowest Z-score), while in 59 % of cases the true binding site ranked in the top 5. We show with these results that statistical potentials can be used in genome-scale TF-binding site prediction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
