'''STRUCTURAL BASIS FOR COOPERATIVE BINDING OF RIBBON-HELIX-HELIX REPRESSOR OMEGA TO MUTATED DIRECT DNA HEPTAD REPEATS'''
===STRUCTURAL BASIS FOR COOPERATIVE BINDING OF RIBBON-HELIX-HELIX REPRESSOR OMEGA TO MUTATED DIRECT DNA HEPTAD REPEATS===




==Overview==
<!--
Repressor omega regulates transcription of genes required for copy number control, accurate segregation and stable maintenance of inc18 plasmids hosted by Gram-positive bacteria. omega belongs to homodimeric ribbon-helix-helix (RHH2) repressors typified by a central, antiparallel beta-sheet for DNA major groove binding. Homodimeric omega2 binds cooperatively to promotors with 7 to 10 consecutive non-palindromic DNA heptad repeats (5'-(A)/(T)ATCAC(A)/(T)-3', symbolized by --&gt;) in palindromic inverted, converging (--&gt;&lt;--) or diverging (&lt;----&gt;) orientation and also, unique to omega2 and contrasting other RHH2 repressors, to non-palindromic direct (--&gt;--&gt;) repeats. Here we investigate with crystal structures how omega2 binds specifically to heptads in minimal operators with (--&gt;--&gt;) and (--&gt;&lt;--) repeats. Since the pseudo-2-fold axis relating the monomers in omega(2) passes the central C-G base pair of each heptad with approximately 0.3 A downstream offset, the separation between the pseudo-2-fold axes is exactly 7 bp in (--&gt;--&gt;), approximately 0.6 A shorter in (--&gt;&lt;--) but would be approximately 0.6 A longer in (&lt;----&gt;). These variations grade interactions between adjacent omega2 and explain modulations in cooperative binding affinity of omega2 to operators with different heptad orientations.
