Figure 6. Binding of β-catenin/LEF transcription factors to −243/−219 mouse PXR promoter region. A.
) Radiolabeled −243/−219 oligonucleotide was incubated with 15 μg of Hepa 1–6 nuclear lysate (lane 2). For competition experiments, unlabelled −243/−219 mouse PXR (lanes 3 and 4), unlabelled −297/−163 mouse PXR (lanes 5 and 6) and unlabelled non-self oligonucleotides (lanes 7 and 8) were added to the reactions in 50- and 200-fold molar excess. B) Antibodies against β-catenin (lane 2), LEF-1(lane 3) or pre-immune IgG (lane 1) were added to the DNA-protein complexes and incubated for an additional 15 minutes at room temperature. Supershifted bands are shown with an open arrow. NE = nuclear extract.
