Two versions of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-type method to quantify protein-DNA interactions at equilibrium were developed. The first variant comprised immobilization of DNA-binding protein on microtiter plates, incubation with biotinylated DNA, and tagging of bound DNA with streptavidin- and biotin-substituted horseradish peroxidase. In the second version, biotinylated DNA was immobilized on streptavidin-substituted microtiter plates, incubated with DNA-binding protein, and bound protein was quantified with specific antibodies. To illustrate the method, the interaction of a fusion protein between glutathione-S-transferase and the DNA-binding domain of the helicase-like transcription factor with its cis-element (the B box of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 promoter) was determined with both versions: a 1:1 stoichiometric interaction with an equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of 1 nM was found, which is similar to the value determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay, demonstrating the validity of the assays.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004268 DNA-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005982 Glutathione Transferase A transferase that catalyzes the addition of aliphatic, aromatic, or heterocyclic FREE RADICALS as well as EPOXIDES and arene oxides to GLUTATHIONE. Addition takes place at the SULFUR. It also catalyzes the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrite.
