Determination of binding affinities of XPC-RAD23B binding to dG-ALII and dG-AAF containing oligonucleotides. (A) Lesion-containing 44-mer oligonucleotides (4 nM) were annealed to a complement containing a 5′ Cy5 fluorescent label and incubated with different concentrations (0–125 nM) of XPC-RAD23B for 30 min. The reactions were analyzed on a 5% native polyacrylamide gel and visualized on a Typhoon imaging system. Two representative gels using C209-ALII and C209-ALII with mismatch are shown. (B) Determination of Kd values: the percentage of bound (DNA+XPC-RAD23B) and non-bound fractions (DNA) were determined using Image Quant TL. Kd were calculated from at least three independent experiments and the data analyzed using sigma plot. Standard deviations are indicated by error bars.
