Relative abundance of USF dimers bound to the Fshr E-box in testis and ovary
| Dimer | Relative dimer abundance (%total USF binding)a
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Ovary | Testis | |
| USF1/USF2 heterodimersb | 74.3 ± 6.5 | 58.9 ± 3.7 |
| USF1 homodimersc | 23.0 ± 6.6 | 34.5 ± 4.1 |
| USF2 homodimersc | 2.7 ± 0.9 | 6.6 ± 3.1 |
a
Relative dimer abundance was determined by dividing the signal intensity from the specific dimer complex by that of the total USF complex (see Materials and Methods).
b
Heterodimer values represent the total USF signal minus that of both USF homodimers.
c
Homodimer values represent the signal intensities for complexes not lost in the presence of opposing antibody.
