Incubation of intact nuclei in buffers containing the DNA intercalating drug chloroquine leads to release of proteins that interact with DNA. We demonstrate here that a protein which binds to a motif within the human c-fos promoter, identified as the serum response element (SRE), is quantitatively released from HeLa nuclei, whereas nuclear factor 1 (NF 1) is not. Purification of the SRE binding protein by affinity chromatography to greater than 95% homogeneity allowed us to identify it as a polypeptide of approximately 67,000 daltons. The DNA contacts made by p67, as identified by methylation interference experiments, are indistinguishable from those of the serum response factor described previously.
将完整的细胞核置于含有DNA嵌入药物氯喹的缓冲液中温育,会导致与DNA相互作用的蛋白质释放出来。我们在此证明,一种与人类c-fos启动子内一个基序(被鉴定为血清反应元件,SRE)结合的蛋白质,可从HeLa细胞核中定量释放出来,而核因子1(NF1)则不会。通过亲和层析将SRE结合蛋白纯化至大于95%的同质性,使我们能够将其鉴定为一种分子量约为67,000道尔顿的多肽。通过甲基化干扰实验确定,p67与DNA的接触与先前描述的血清反应因子的接触并无区别。
