DNase I footprinting of CTCF on EBV DNA. (A) Autoradiogram of in vitro DNase I footprinting gel showing CTCF protection on EBV DNA probe. Purified His-tagged CTCF was used for footprinting assay using EBV 32P-labeled DNA probe covering EBV coordinates 10393 to 10594. Nucleotide ladders A and A/G were generated by chemical cleavage using the Maxim-Gilbert method. For the CTCF lanes, + indicates prominent CTCF protection from DNase I digestion from EBV coordinates 10515 to 10560, whereas − lanes (no-CTCF controls) show no protection at the same region. The arrows indicate DNase I-hypersensitive sites. (B) Sequence of EBV protected by CTCF in DNase I footprinting assay. CTCF protection covers a DNA sequence from EBV coordinates 10515 to 10560. The top arrow indicates a DNase I-hypersensitivity site. The two bottom arrows show a possible inverted repeat.
