The correct answer for this question is Option (b) which states Non-covalent binding to non-specific DNA sequences.
Histones contain basic amino acids like lysine and Argnine which are positively charged. Histones proteins form a complex called nucleosome arround which DNA gets wrapped and the interactions involved are mainly Electrostatic or salt bridges which are Non-covalent.

DNA‑binding domains recognize and bind to specific DNA sequences. Complete the sentences. The homeodomain is also called the homeobox domain. Not all words will be used. Two terms will be used more than once. A 1.) contains a metal ion in coordination with two cysteine and two histidine residues or with four cysteine residues. DNA–protein binding generally occurs in the 2.) of DNA. The 3.) , found in eukaryotes, contains a small DNA‑binding region similar to the helix‑turn‑helix motif....
Transcription regulators control transcription by phosphorylating RNA polymerase. binding to specific sequences of DNA. binding to specific sequences of RNA. degrading mRNAs.
1. How would binding to the minor groove of DNA affect the number of possible sequences recognized? 2. In some proteins promoters or repressors there are two helix turn helix DNA binding motifs, how could this increase the number of unique sequences that it could bind to? (Hint: not just a doubling) Please answer both questions in detail. I am having a difficult time understanding both questions. Thank You!
What do we know about non-coding DNA sequences?
HP1 is a DNA binding protein that interacts with a specific
sequence (TGCTTATTC). You want to analyze, by a Dnase I
footprinting assay, the effect on DNA binding of the interaction
between HP1 and its 6 binding partner PA. In each assay, you
combine a radiolabeled fragment of DNA that binds to HP1 and a
specific combination of proteins. After incubation with DNase I,
each reaction mixture was resolved by gel electrophoresis, and then
exposed to film. The autoradiogram showing...
The recognition of specific DNA sequences by proteins is thought to depend on two types of mechanisms: one that involves the formation of hydrogen bonds with specific bases, primarily in the major groove, and one involving sequence-dependent deformations of the DNA helix. By comprehensively analyzing the three-dimensional structures of protein-DNA complexes, we show that the binding of arginines to narrow minor grooves is a widely used mode for protein-DNA recognition. This readout mechanism exploits the phenomenon that narrow minor grooves...

Choose the best answer I) All of these events occur during the transcription in eukaryotes EXCEPT a) Messenger RNAs undergo extensive processing. b) A single mRNA codes for several proteins. c) Transcription and translation occur in separate cellular compartments. d) Unwinding from histones is probably necessary for transcriptional activation of the DNA. 2) Prokaryotic and eukaryotic promoters: a) contain AT-rich regions. b) interact with transcription factors. c) are influenced by base sequences thousands of base pairs away, which increase their...
