Using fluorophore-labeled oligonucleotides to measure affinities of protein-DNA interactions.
ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½
Using fluorophore-labeled oligonucleotides to measure affinities of protein-DNA interactions. Methods in enzymology Anderson, B. J., Larkin, C., Guja, K., Schildbach, J. F. 2008; 450: 253-72Abstract
Changes in fluorescence emission intensity and anisotropy can reflect changes in the environment and molecular motion of a fluorophore. Researchers can capitalize on these characteristics to assess the affinity and specificity of DNA-binding proteins using fluorophore-labeled oligonucleotides. While there are many advantages to measuring binding using fluorescent oligonucleotides, there are also some distinct disadvantages. Here we describe some of the relevant issues for the novice, illustrating key points using data collected with a variety of labeled oligonucleotides and the relaxase domain of F plasmid TraI. Topics include selection of a fluorophore, experimental design using a fluorometer equipped with an automatic titrating unit, and analysis of direct binding and competition assays.
