The stoichiometry of DNA binding by the bacteriophage SP01-encoded type II DNA-binding protein TF1 has been determined. 3H-Labeled TF1 was allowed to bind to a 32P-labeled DNA fragment containing a TF1 binding site. Multiple TF1-DNA complexes were resolved from each other and from unbound DNA by native gel electrophoresis. DNA-protein complexes were cut from polyacrylamide gels, and the amounts of 3H and 32P contained in each slice were measured. A ratio of 1.12 +/- 0.06 TF1 dimer/DNA molecule was calculated for the fastest-migrating TF1-DNA complex. We conclude that TF1 has a DNA-binding unit of one dimer. More slowly migrating complexes are apparently formed by serial addition of single TF1 dimers.
