Comparison of binding AP-site containing DNA with (●, ◆) and without (○) an AP-site by EMSA analysis. WT and mutant proteins at the indicated concentrations were incubated with 0.25 nM substrate and resolved by non-denaturing gel electrophoresis as described in Methods. The distribution of bound and unbound substrate was quantitated by phosphorImager analysis.
A: Binding AP-site-containing DNA by Y128A(●) and Y269A (◆)
B: Binding by WT AP endo or Tyr171 mutants to oligonucleotide with (●) or without(○) an abasic site.
