Acrylamide Capture of DNA-Bound Complexes: Electrophoretic Purification of Transcription Factors
We have developed a rapid nonradioactive electrophoretic technique to analyze proteins within DNA-binding complexes, acrylamide capture of DNA-binding complexes (ACDC), using Acrydite™-linked DNA-binding targets. The method is highly sensitive and easily

Comparison of histone-like HU protein DNA-binding properties and HU/IHF protein sequence alignment. [PDF]
The structure and function of bacterial nucleoid are controlled by histone-like proteins of HU/IHF family, omnipresent in bacteria and also founding archaea and some eukaryotes.HU protein binds dsDNA without sequence specificity and avidly binds DNA ...

Electrical Probes of DNA-Binding Proteins [PDF]
A DNA electrochemistry platform has been developed to probe proteins bound to DNA electrically. Here gold electrodes are modified with thiol-modified DNA, and DNA charge transport chemistry is used to probe DNA binding and enzymatic reaction both with redox-silent and redox-active proteins.

DNA-binding activity of papillomavirus proteins [PDF]
We demonstrate DNA binding by papillomavirus (PV) open reading frame (ORF) proteins that correspond to the early transforming and trans-activating (E6 and E2) and late structural regions (L2 and L1) from bovine PV type 1 and human PV types 6b and 16.

Calling cards for DNA-binding proteins [PDF]
Identifying genomic targets of transcription factors is fundamental for understanding transcriptional regulatory networks. Current technology enables identification of all targets of a single transcription factor, but there is no realistic way to achieve the converse: identification of all proteins that bind to a promoter of interest. We have developed

DNA G-Quadruplex-Binding Proteins: An Updated Overview
DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical secondary structures formed in guanine-rich sequences. Within the human genome, G4s are found in regulatory regions such as gene promoters and telomeres to control replication, transcription, and telomere ...

Protein–DNA binding in high-resolution [PDF]
Recent advances in experimental and computational methodologies are enabling ultra-high resolution genome-wide profiles of protein-DNA binding events. For example, the ChIP-exo protocol precisely characterizes protein-DNA cross-linking patterns by combining chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with 5' → 3' exonuclease digestion.

Chromosomal macrodomains and associated proteins : implications for DNA organization and replication in gram negative bacteria [PDF]
The Escherichia coli chromosome is organized into four macrodomains, the function and organisation of which are poorly understood. In this review we focus on the MatP, SeqA, and SlmA proteins that have recently been identified as the first examples of ...
