Fig. 3. DNA binding and transactivation analysis of the Nkx2-5Y-A mutant
protein. (A) EMSA comparing DNA binding of in vitro-translated
Nkx2-5 and Nkx2-5Y-A using an Nkx2-5-binding oligonucleotide probe.
Anti-Nkx2-5 antibody and specific and non-specific competitor oligonucleotides
were used to assess binding specificity. (B,C) In vitro
transcriptional analysis using FLAG-tagged Nkx2-5 and Nkx2-5Y-A expression
vectors and a multimerised Nkx2-5-binding site synthetic enhancer-luciferase
reporter (B) or with and without Gata5 and Tbx20a on the Nppa
(700) and Gja5 (1190 to +121) promoter-luciferase
reporters in C3H 10T1/2 cells (C). Inset in B shows western blot of
transfected proteins. Significance assessed using Student's
t-test.
