Figure 4.
SRSF1 and Tat bind overlapping sequences within TAR. (A) RAC assays were set up with bait RNAs containing the wild-type (TARWT) and mutated (TARM) TAR sequences. The RNA substrates were incubated with 100 ng of recombinant Tat or purified SRSF1 in separate reactions. (B) Tat and SRSF1 compete for binding onto TAR. RAC assays were set up with the wild-type TAR sequence as bait, and either 100 ng of recombinant Tat and increasing amounts of purified SRSF1 (upper panel) or increasing amounts of Tat and 100 ng of SRSF1 (lower panel).
