Binding of Shox2a to the Nkx2.5 regulatory elements depends on its phosphorylation. ChIP assays reveal 2 Shox2a‐binding elements, site‐1 (A) and site‐2 (B), within the 3.3‐kb Nkx2.5 promoter region. (C) ChIP assays using mouse embryonic hearts confirm binding of Shox2a to the site‐2 in vivo. D, Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) reveals specific binding of the site‐2 sequence by nuclear extracts from cells expressing HA‐Shox2a, but not HA‐Shox2a‐DM. Red arrows point to the shift bands. (E) Supershift assay with anti‐HA antibodies demonstrates specific DNA with HA‐Shox2a. Green arrow points to the supershifted band. ChIP indicates chromatin immunoprecipitation.
