  2. Gene Regulation by Transcription Factors Coding Sequence Regulatory Region R. Voll 09/01

  3. Application: • Detection of DNA-binding factors/proteins • Analysis of DNA sequences (e. g. promoter or enhancer regions) for their potential to bind specifically to proteins/nuclear extracts • Analysis of (sub-)cellular extracts for the presence of certain DNA-binding proteins (e. g. a transcription factor with a known recognition sequence) R. Voll 09/01

  4. Nuclear extract of activated cells Nuclear extract of non-activated cells EMSA: Principle Radioaktively labeled oligonucleotide with NF-B - binding site (probe) and bound NF-B NF-B Radioactively labeled oligonucleotide with NF-B - binding site (probe) Free Probe A double-stranded oligonucleotide containig a NF-B- binding site is labeled with a radioactive isotope and incubated with a nuclear extract. During gel-electrophoresis, NF-B bound to the oligonucleotide causes a shift compared to the free probe. R. Voll 09/01

  5. Preparation of Nuclear and Cytosolic Extracts The procedure is carried out on ice rsp at 4°C and in the presence of protease (and phosphatase) inhibitors. 1. Swell cells in hypotonic lysis buffer 2. Add NP-40 and vortex to disrupt cytoplasmic membrane 3. Centrifuge to pellet nuclei 4. Carefully remove supernatant (contains cytosolic and membrane fraction) 4. Wash nuclear pellet once in lysis buffer 5. Add hypertonic extraction buffer to nuclear pellet 6. Agitate vigouresly for 30 minutes 7. Centrifuge at high speed 8. Remove nuclear extract, determine protein concentration and freeze on dry ice until EMSA is performed R. Voll 09/01
