Combining SELEX with quantitative assays to rapidly obtain accurate models of protein–DNA interactions Jiajian Liu and Gary D. Stormo Presented by Aliya Sadeque
Protein-DNA interactions • Methods for measuring: • Yeast 1 hybrid • ChIP on chip • DNA microarray • Important distinction in terms of specificity • Enzymes vs. transcription factors Bioinformatics. 2000 Jan;16(1):16-23.
TFBSTranscription Factor Binding Sites • Knowing the specificity of a TF in order to locate its binding sites within the genome • Databases • TRANSFAC, JASPAR • Represented as consensus sequences or weight matrices

QuMFRA Nucleic Acids Res. 2001 Jun 15;29(12):2471-8. PMID: 11410653
Selling points • Provides a general method that can be used for any DNA-binding protein even if nothing is known about its specificity. • Can isolate a small set of specific binding sites from a very large pool of random sequences Nucleic Acids Res. 2001 Jun 15;29(12):2471-8.
Estimating Affinities • Assuming an additive model • Frequency: • Weight
QuMFRA Procedure • 15 sequences • Cover the space of possible sequence http://www.answers.com/topic/gel-abpp-eg-png
critiques • we used affinity chromatography to modify the conventional SELEX procedure to save time and labor. –didn’t explain how • as determined by sequencing only ∼20 selected products after each round. –why only 20? • Why no A at position 1 in QuMFRA? • Discussion brought up weakness in SELEX
