Inhibition of Ace1 binding to CUP1 promoter DNA by
DEA/NO. Electrophoretic mobility-shift assays were performed using
6% polyacrylamide gel. (A) Cell extracts (3 μg of
protein/lane) from KKY7 (lane 2) or 217ACE (lanes 3, 4, and 5) were
incubated with 0.5 mM KCN (lane 3) or 0.5 mM BCS (lane 4) at room
temperature for 10 min, followed by incubation with
32P-labeled CUP1 UASc DNA (60,000 dpm) and
0.1 mM CuI(CH3CN)2ClO4
(lanes 1, 2, and 5) or 0.1 M acetonitrile (lane 3 and 4) for 10 min at
room temperature. Lane 1 contains no cell extract. (B)
Cell extracts (217ACE) were incubated with the indicated concentration
of DEA/NO (lanes 1–5) or 4 mM decomposed DEA/NO (lane 6) for 10
min at room temperature. To the mixtures were then added
32P-labeled CUP1 UASc DNA (60,000 dpm) and
0.1 mM CuI(CH3CN)2ClO4,
and they incubated for 10 min at room temperature. Electrophoresis and
exposure to x-ray film are described in Experimental
Procedures. Representative experiments are shown.
