Wild type, Site 1, and Site 2 mutant CadCs binding to and Cd(II)-induced
dissociation from cad o/p DNA. Protein-DNA interactions were
monitored by fluorescence anisotropy using a 34-bp double-stranded
oligonucleotide labeled on one strand with 5′-fluorescein. Binding
isotherms were generated by titration of unmetallated (•) or metallated
(○, A), wild type (B), Site 1 mutant, and Site 2 mutant
(C).
