Abstract

A detailed analysis is reported of the binding of the zinc finger protein THZif-1 to the nuclease-hypersensitive element (NHE) in the promoter region of the c-MYC gene using the electrophoretic mobility shift assay and a series of mutants of a fusion protein composed of glutathione S-transferase and THZif-1. The THZif-1 protein bound specifically to the single-stranded (ss) pyrimidine-rich DNA of the NHE (ss c-myc NHE-C) with an apparent dissociation constant (Kd (app)) of 0.077 microM. By contrast, no binding to the single-stranded purine-rich DNA of the NHE (ss c-myc NHE-G) was detected. Moreover, the binding affinity of THZif-1 protein was 2-fold higher for the single-stranded 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine derivative of NHE (ss c-myc NHE-me5C) than for the unmethylated NHE. In the case of the binding of THZif-1 to methylated double-stranded (ds) NHE (ds c-myc NHE-me5CG), no significant binding to the DNA was observed. The decrease in binding to DNA of THZif-1 was significant in the case of mutated ds c-myc NHE, in which more than two sites of deoxycytidine residues were methylated. However, the binding affinity of THZif-1 protein for methylated and for unmethylated triple-helical DNA of the NHE was almost identical. Moreover, th...Continue Reading
