NFATc2 is a DNA binding protein in the Rel family transcription factors, which binds a motif better when both cytosines in the dinucleotide are methylated. Using protein binding microarrays (PBMs), we examined the DNA binding of NFATc2 to three additional types of DNA: single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with either 5-methylcytosine (5mC, ) or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC, ) in one strand and a cytosine in the second strand. , the complement of the core motif, is better bound as ssDNA compared to dsDNA. dsDNA containing the 5-mer with either 5mC or 5hmC in one DNA strand is bound stronger than . In contrast, the reverse complement is bound weaker when it contains 5mC. Analysis of the available NFATc2:dsDNA complexes rationalizes these PBM data.
NFATc2是Rel家族转录因子中的一种DNA结合蛋白,当二核苷酸中的两个胞嘧啶都被甲基化时,它与一个基序的结合更好。我们使用蛋白质结合微阵列(PBM)研究了NFATc2与另外三种类型DNA的结合:单链DNA(ssDNA)和双链DNA(dsDNA),其中一条链含有5-甲基胞嘧啶(5mC)或5-羟甲基胞嘧啶(5hmC),另一条链含有一个胞嘧啶。与dsDNA相比,作为ssDNA时,核心基序的互补序列结合得更好。在一条DNA链中含有5mC或5hmC的包含5聚体的dsDNA比结合得更强。相反,当它含有5mC时,反向互补序列结合较弱。对现有的NFATc2:dsDNA复合物的分析使这些PBM数据合理化。
