Quantitative measurement of proteins binding to DNA is a requisite to fully characterize the structural determinants of complex formation necessary to understand the DNA transactions that regulate cellular processes. Here we describe a detailed protocol to measure binding affinity of the adeno-associated virus (AAV) Rep68 protein for the integration site using fluorescent anisotropy. This protocol can be used to measure the binding constants of any DNA binding protein provided the substrate DNA is fluorescently labeled.
对与DNA结合的蛋白质进行定量测量,是全面表征复合物形成的结构决定因素的必要条件,而理解调节细胞过程的DNA相互作用需要这些结构决定因素。在此,我们描述了一种详细的实验方案,用于使用荧光各向异性测量腺相关病毒(AAV)Rep68蛋白与整合位点的结合亲和力。只要底物DNA用荧光标记,该实验方案可用于测量任何DNA结合蛋白的结合常数。
