Protein flexibility directs DNA recognition by the papillomavirus E2 proteins (2010)
Journal Article
Brown, C. A., Campos-León, K., Strickland, M., Williams, C., Fairweather, V., Brady, R. L., …Gaston, K. (2011). Protein flexibility directs DNA recognition by the papillomavirus E2 proteins. Nucleic Acids Research, 39(7), 2969--2980. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkq1217

Although DNA flexibility is known to play an important role in DNA–protein interactions, the importance of protein flexibility is less well understood. Here, we show that protein dynamics are important in DNA recognition using the well-characterized... Read More about Protein flexibility directs DNA recognition by the papillomavirus E2 proteins.

DNA compaction by the higher-order assembly of PRH/Hex homeodomain protein oligomers (2010)
Journal Article
Soufi, A., Sawasdichai, A., Shukla, A., Noy, P., Dafforn, T., Smith, C., …Gaston, K. (2010). DNA compaction by the higher-order assembly of PRH/Hex homeodomain protein oligomers. Nucleic Acids Research, 38(21), 7513--7525. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkq659

Protein self-organization is essential for the establishment and maintenance of nuclear architecture and for the regulation of gene expression. We have shown previously that the Proline-Rich Homeodomain protein (PRH/Hex) self-assembles to form oligom...

In situ subcellular fractionation of adherent and non-adherent mammalian cells (2010)
Journal Article
Sawasdichai, A., Chen, H., Abdul Hamid, N., Jayaraman, P., & Gaston, K. (2010). In situ subcellular fractionation of adherent and non-adherent mammalian cells. Journal of Visualized Experiments, 41, Article e1958. https://doi.org/10.3791/1958

Protein function is intimately coupled to protein localization. Although some proteins are restricted to a specific location or subcellular compartment, many proteins are present as a freely diffusing population in free exchange with a sub-population...

PRH/Hex controls cell survival through coordinate transcriptional regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor signaling (2010)
Journal Article
Noy, P., Williams, H., Sawasdichai, A., Gaston, K., & Jayaraman, P. (2010). PRH/Hex controls cell survival through coordinate transcriptional regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor signaling. Molecular and Cellular Biology, 30(9), 2120-2134. doi:10.1128/MCB.01511-09

The proline-rich homeodomain protein (PRH) plays multiple roles in the control of gene expression during embryonic development and in the adult. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a mitogen that stimulates cell proliferation and survival vi...
