Monitoring the interaction between DNA and a transcription factor (MEF2A) using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.

Résumé

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is an analytical method that allows distinguishing different populations of fluorescent probes in solution and provides data on their concentrations and their diffusion coefficients. FCS was used to characterize the interaction of the transcription factor (MEF2A) with its DNA target sequence. The myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) belongs to the MADS-box family and activates transcription of numerous muscle genes during myogenesis. Measurements were made using TAMRA-labelled oligonucleotide duplexes derived from a wild type (WT) or a mutated MEF2 target gene. Binding of the protein to the WT DNA resulted in significant changes of the diffusion. Specificity of the interaction was confirmed using the mutated DNA. Bound to free probe ratios were determined at different MEF2A concentrations and the apparent equilibrium dissociation constant K(D) for the full-length MEF2A was estimated.
