Disease relevance of DNA Footprinting

  • Gel band mobility shift and DNA footprint experiments were used to demonstrate that the CYS3 protein, expressed in Escherichia coli, binds to three distinct sites in the 5' upstream DNA of cys-14, the structural gene for sulfate permease II [1].

Associations of DNA Footprinting with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of DNA Footprinting

  • Fractionation of yeast extracts on heparin-agarose revealed the presence of a DNA footprinting activity that interacted specifically with the 5'-upstream region of TEF1 and TEF2 genes coding for the protein synthesis elongation factor EF-1 alpha, and of the ribosomal protein gene RP51A [16].
  • Protein-DNA binding studies using electrophoretic mobility shift and DNA footprinting assays showed that both Sp1 and Sp3 proteins bound this region of the VEGF promoter [17].
  • The results of DNA footprinting analysis show that FadR binds downstream of the uspA promoter in the noncoding region [18].
  • The MLPE site primarily binds USF1/USF2 and ERalpha, and gel mobility shift and DNA footprinting assays show that the AhR complex decreases binding of these transcription factors to the MLPE [19].
  • In vivo DNA footprinting shows a specific loss of occupancy at the IFN response factor element site in Caki-2 cells, whereas Caki-1 cells show full promoter occupancy [20].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of DNA Footprinting

  • The binding of two symmetric bis-benzimidazole compounds, 2,2-bis-[4'-(3"-dimethylamino-1"-propyloxy)phenyl]-5,5-bi-1H-benzimidazole and its piperidinpropylphenyl analog, to the minor groove of DNA, have been studied by DNA footprinting, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) methods and molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent [21].
