Ovarian tumors display elevated TFIIIC2 activity. (A
Left) EMSA by using 1 ng of VA1 probe, 500 ng of polydI-dC, and
no protein (lane 1) or 10 μg of protein extracts of normal ovarian
tissue (N, lanes 2, 4 and 6) or ovarian tumor (T, lanes 3, 5 and 7)
from patient 7. Lanes 4 and 5 also contain 60 ng of unlabeled VA1 gene
fragment. Lanes 6 and 7 also contain 60 ng of unlabeled vector DNA of
similar length. (Right) EMSA by using 1 ng of VA1 gene
probe, 500 ng of polydI-dC competitor, and no protein (lane 1), 2 μg
of partially purified TFIIIC2 (lane 2), or 10 μg of protein extracts
of normal ovarian tissue (lane 3) or ovarian tumor (lane 4) from
patient 7. (B) EMSA by using 1 ng of VA1 gene probe, 500
ng of polydI-dC competitor, and no protein (lane 1), or 10 μg of
protein extracts of normal ovarian tissue (N, lanes 2, 4 and 6) or
ovarian tumors (T, lanes 3, 5 and 7) from patients 5, 6, or 7, as
indicated.
