Abstract
A 7SKsnRNP complex, comprising the non-coding RNA 7SK and proteins MePCE and LARP7, participates in the regulation of the transcription elongation by RNA-polymerase II in higher eukaryotes. Binding of a HEXIM protein triggers the inhibition of the kinase complex P-TEFb, a key actor of the switch from paused transcription to elongation. The present paper reviews what is known about the specific recognition of the 7SK RNA by the HEXIM protein. HEXIM uses an arginine-rich motif (ARM) peptide to bind one specific site in the 5'-hairpin of the 7SK RNA. Since HEXIM forms a dimer, what happens with the second ARM impacts the assembly symmetry. In order to help sort through possible models, a combination of native mass spectrometry and electrophoretic mobility shift assays was used. It provides evidence that only one ARM of the HEXIM dimer is directly binding to the RNA hairpin and that another sequence downstream of the ARM participates in a second binding event allowing the other monomer of HEXIM to bind the RNA.

Abstract
The Central glycolytic genes Repressor (CggR) from Bacillus subtilis belongs to the SorC family of transcription factors that control major carbohydrate metabolic pathways. Recent studies have shown that CggR binds as a tetramer to its tandem operator DNA sequences and that the inducer metabolite, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), reduces the binding cooperativity of the CggR/DNA complex. Here, we have determined the effect of FBP on the size, shape and stoichiometry of CggR complexes with full-length and half-site operator sequence by small-angle X-ray scattering, size-exclusion chromatography, fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy and noncovalent mass spectrometry (MS). Our results show that CggR forms a compact tetrameric assembly upon binding to either the full-length operator or two half-site DNAs and that FBP triggers a tetramer-dimer transition that leaves a single dimer on the half-site or two physically independent dimers on the full-length target. Although the binding of other phospho-sugars was evidenced by MS, only FBP was found to completely disrupt dimer-dimer contacts. We conclude that inducer-dependent dimer-dimer bridging interactions constitute the physical basis for CggR cooperative binding to DNA and the underlying repression mechanism. This work provides experimental evidences for a cooperativity-based regulation model that should apply to other SorC family members.
