Figure 3. Tf2 LTR Is an Oxygen-Dependent Promoter.
(A) Wild-type and sre1Δ yeast carrying Tf2 LTR-lacZ, Tf2–11 LTR-lacZ, or lacZ reporter plasmids were grown +/− oxygen for 6 h and assayed for β-galactosidase activity [26]. Error bars denote one standard deviation among three biological replicates.
(B) Sre1 DNA binding domain (aa 256–366) was incubated with indicated 32P-labeled DNA probes and subjected to electrophoretic mobility shift assay [26].
(C) Wild-type yeast were grown +/− oxygen for 6 h and subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using anti-Sre1 IgG or rabbit IgG. Bound DNA was normalized to wild type + oxygen for each primer pair. The fraction of bound DNA values for the pulldown with anti-Sre1 under aerobic conditions were 0.0027 (Tf2–3), 0.003 (Tf2–4), and 0.017 (Tf2–11). Error bars denote one standard deviation among three experimental replicates.
