Characterization of the DNA binding activity of structural protein VP1 from chicken anaemia virus
Background Chicken anaemia virus (CAV) is commonly found in poultry. VP1 is the sole structural protein of CAV, which is the major component responsible for capsid assembly. The CAV virion consists of the VP1 protein and a viral genome. However, there is

Saccharomyces cerevisiae does not contain a p53 homolog. Utilizing this yeast as an in vivo test tube model, our aim was to investigate if a yeast protein would show p53 DNA binding homology. Electrophoretic mobility shift analyses revealed the formation

Displacement of the canonical single-stranded DNA-binding protein in the Thermoproteales
Single-stranded DNA binding proteins (SSBs) based on the OB-fold are considered ubiquitous in nature and play a central role in many DNA transactions including replication, recombination and repair.

DNA-binding activity and subunit interaction of the mariner transposase [PDF]
Mos1 is a member of the mariner/Tc1 family of transposable elements originally identified in Drosophila mauritiana. It has 28 bp terminal inverted repeats and like other elements of this type it transposes by a cut and paste mechanism, inserts at TA ...

DNA Binding in High Salt: Analysing the Salt Dependence of Replication Protein A3 from the Halophile Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
Halophilic archaea maintain intracellular salt concentrations close to saturation to survive in high-salt environments and their cellular processes have adapted to function under these conditions.

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Liquid chemiluminescent DNA pull-down assay to measure nuclear receptor-DNA binding in solution
Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) are commonly used to investigate protein-DNA binding in vitro. However, EMSA can generate considerable amounts of undesirable waste, particularly when toxic compounds are examined.
