a Probes contained four direct repeats of the indicated sequence (top strand is given; substituted bases are underlined) as shown for multimers in Figure 4A. Double-stranded oligonucleotides were labeled with α-32P-dCTP and tested by EMSA for binding by the ΔC-133 derivative.
b The intensity of the signal in the DNA-protein complexes was quantified with Adobe Photoshop (Mountain View, CA), using the signal from the TGACCC binding site probe as 100%.
