The Ada regulon in E. coli is a well-characterized example of a group of genes involved in the adaptive response form of DNA repair. [6] Quorum sensing behavior in bacteria is a commonly cited example of a modulon or stimulon, [7] though some sources describe this type of intercellular auto-induction as a separate form of regulation.

This set of predicted binding sites corresponds to 12,574 TF → gene regulatory interactions; this represents a recovery of 52% of the 1592 annotated regulatory interactions in the database for the 93 TFs for which RegulonDB has a position-weight matrix (PWM). If only TFs with a good-quality PWM are taken into account, the total number of ...
The yeast two-hybrid and bacterial two-hybrid screen [42] investigate the interaction between artificial fusion proteins. They do not require isolation of proteins but rather use transformation to express proteins in bacteria or yeast. The cells are designed in a way that an interaction activates the transcription of a reporter gene or a ...
Although as early as 1951, Barbara McClintock showed interaction between two genetic loci, Activator (Ac) and Dissociator (Ds), in the color formation of maize seeds, the first discovery of a gene regulation system is widely considered to be the identification in 1961 of the lac operon, discovered by François Jacob and Jacques Monod, in which ...
An electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) or mobility shift electrophoresis, also referred as a gel shift assay, gel mobility shift assay, band shift assay, or gel retardation assay, is a common affinity electrophoresis technique used to study protein–DNA or protein–RNA interactions. This procedure can determine if a protein or mixture ...
A ligand binding assay (LBA) is an assay, or an analytic procedure, which relies on the binding of ligand molecules to receptors, antibodies or other macromolecules. [1] A detection method is used to determine the presence and amount of the ligand-receptor complexes formed, and this is usually determined electrochemically or through a fluorescence detection method. [2]
CHAID is based on a formal extension of AID (Automatic Interaction Detection) [4] and THAID (THeta Automatic Interaction Detection) [5] [6] procedures of the 1960s and 1970s, which in turn were extensions of earlier research, including that performed by Belson in the UK in the 1950s. [7] In 1975, the CHAID technique itself was developed in ...
Two-hybrid screening (originally known as yeast two-hybrid system or Y2H) is a molecular biology technique used to discover protein–protein interactions (PPIs) [1] and protein–DNA interactions [2] [3] by testing for physical interactions (such as binding) between two proteins or a single protein and a DNA molecule, respectively.
