Fig. 5. A CEH-20/MAB-5 complex binds the Hox/Hox co-factor site at +5995 in
egl-1. (A) Electrophoretic mobility shift assays were
performed with epitope-tagged CEH-20 and MAB-5 proteins using wild-type and
mutant Site 1 32P-labeled oligonucleotides. The mutant
oligonucleotide probe contains the NcoI mutation described in
Fig. 4C. (B)
CEH-20/MAB-5 proteins were used in an in vitro binding reaction with a
32P-radiolabeled oligonucleotide containing Site 1. Cold competitor
oligonucleotide was included in the binding reactions at the indicated molar
ratios. The NcoI-Mut, HOX-Mut and CEH-20-Mut mutant probes correspond
to those in Fig. 4C.
