MITOMI Data

The raw data from the successful experiments can be found here.

Wildtype TetR

In Vitro Characterization

Using the MITOMI technique we determined the DNA binding landscape of the wild type TetR. To do so, we first designed and generated the library of double stranded DNA sequences that cover all possible single base substitutions within the TetO operator sequence. Based on that library we measured the dissociation constants of the mutant to variable tetO-like sequences and determined the specificity of the mutant to the Tet operator sequence (expressed as a PWM).

The WebLogo we obtained:

Workman CT, Yin Y, Corcoran DL, Ideker T, Stormo GD, Benos PV. enoLOGOS: a versatile web tool for energy normalized sequence logos. Nucleic Acids Res. 2005 Jul 1;33:W389-92.

Position Weight Matrix

Each row represents the changes in binding energy, ΔΔG (kcal/mol), compared to the reference sequence upon the substitution of the indicated nucleotide at a certain position within the target DNA element. Values are indicated in kcal/mol.

We compared the measured DNA binding affinities of the V36F mutant to the affinities obtained for the wt-TetR and found that the V36F mutant interacts with the TetO as strong as the wild-type variant.

Based on that library we measured the dissociation constants of the mutant to variable tetO-like sequences and determined the specificity of the mutant to the tet operator sequence (expressed as a PWM). For the Y42F mutant we observed the decrease of the specificity compared to the wild-type tetR sequence.
