Electrophoretic mobility gel shift assay of the PLN wild-type and genetically-altered glucocorticoid element specificity in the presence of common glucocorticoid consensus. Consensus glucocorticoid receptor element (GRE), PLN-WT, and PLN-MT motifs were used to examine binding specificity in cardiac nuclear extracts from wild-type mice. Lanes1–3: cardiac nuclear extracts reacted with radiolabeled oligonucleotides of PLN-WT, PLN-MT, and consensus GRE sequences. Lanes 4–6:consensus GRE oligonucleotides were used as specific competitor (100 × unlabeled GRE oligonucleotides). Lanes 7–9 and lanes 10–12: PLN-WT and PLN-MT oligonucleotides were used as competitors (100×-fold unlabeled oligonucleotide), respectively.
