Abstract
Proteins present in tobacco nuclear extracts bind to a truncated cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter fragment (from −90 to +2 relative to the transcription start site) in a sequence specific manner. Gel mobility shift assays show the presence of two protein-DNA complexes that are not competed by a −47/+2 promoter fragment. DNAse I protection and DNA methylation interference reveal two protected sites in the slower migrating complex; both include the pentamer TGACG, separated by a stretch of eight nucleotides where G methylation does not prevent the binding of the proteins. The faster complex is the prevalent form at low protein concentrations. As the protein concentration increases a non-linear rise in the amount of the slower migrating complex relative to the faster one is seen suggesting that cooperative effects are involved in the binding to the second site.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
