Nonradioactive, solid-phase DNase I footprints analyzed on an A.L.F. DNA Sequencer.

چکیده
Solid-phase DNase I footprinting provides a powerful tool for analyzing the sequence-specific interactions of DNA binding proteins. Classically this type of assay requires radioactively labeled DNA molecules. Substitution of the isotope by fluorescein labeling of the DNA fragments enables the analysis of footprint patterns on a standard automated laser fluorescent (A.L.F.) DNA Sequencer. The combination of solid-phase footprinting technology and fluorescence-based nonradioactive detection of fragments has unique advantages over established footprinting technologies.

Long-range and highly sensitive DNase I footprinting by an automated infrared DNA sequencer.
We have shown that an automated DNA sequencer is applicable to fluorescence-based detection of fragments in DNase I footprinting. We demonstrated the potential of long-range and highly sensitive DNase I footprinting taking advantage of an infrared-fluorescence automated DNA sequencer. Footprints of human transcription factor SpI were reproducibly detected ranging approximately between 100 and 7...
متن کاملFootprinting with an automated capillary DNA sequencer.
Footprinting is a valuable tool for studying DNA-protein contacts. However, it usually involves expensive, tedious and hazardous steps such as radioactive labeling and analyses on polyacrylamide sequencing gels. We have developed an easy four-step footprinting method involving (i) the generation and purification of a PCR fragment that is fluorescently labeled at one end with 6-carboxyfluorescei...
متن کاملSeparation of up to 1000 bases on a modified A.L.F. DNA sequencer.
A modified version of the standard A.L.F DNA sequencer (Pharmacia, Uppsala) is described that allows the separation of up to 1000 bases per clone. Fragments were resolved at single peak resolution up to 700 bases. The raw data accuracy was >99.7%, resulting in an overall error rate of <0.01% for the final sequence after sequencing both DNA strands. The modifications include 60 cm thermostatic a...
متن کاملExplicit DNase sequence bias modeling enables high-resolution transcription factor footprint detection
DNaseI footprinting is an established assay for identifying transcription factor (TF)-DNA interactions with single base pair resolution. High-throughput DNase-seq assays have recently been used to detect in vivo DNase footprints across the genome. Multiple computational approaches have been developed to identify DNase-seq footprints as predictors of TF binding. However, recent studies have poin...
متن کاملProtein-DNA interactions at the major and minor promoters of the divergently transcribed dhfr and rep3 genes during the Chinese hamster ovary cell cycle.
In mammals, two TATA-less bidirectional promoters regulate expression of the divergently transcribed dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) and rep3 genes. In CHOC 400 cells, dhfr mRNA levels increase about fourfold during the G1-to-S phase transition of the cell cycle, whereas the levels of rep3 transcripts vary less than twofold during this time. To assess the role of DNA-binding proteins in transcri...
