TABLE 2.
Oligonucleotides for electrophoretic mobility shift assays Wild type and mutant oligonucleotides were used in gel shift assays. The YR oligonucleotide containing one Y-repeat region (underlined) from the Runx2 P1 promoter was used as the probe for the electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Other oligonucleotides were used as competitors. Sp1-con, Sp1 consensus binding sites; Ets1-con, Ets1 consensus binding sites; Sp1-Mut, Sp1 consensus with mutations (lowercase) in the Sp1 element; Ets1-Mut, Ets1 consensus with mutations (lowercase) in the Ets1 element.
