Preferential binding of Scx/E12 or Scx/E47 to E2 and E5. Double-stranded synthetic oligonucleotides containing the E-box were end-labelled with biotin and used as a probe for EMSA. The oligonucleotides sequences used in EMSA (E1E2, M1M2, E1M2, M1E2, E3, E4, E5, and M5) are shown in Table 2. Results shown in (a), (b), (c) and (d) are from assays using oligonucleotides containing the consensus E-box sequences (E1E2, E3, E4, and E5) and mutated oligonucleotides (M1M2, E1M2, M1E2, and M5), respectively. Biotin-labelled probes were incubated with nuclear extracts from HEK293T cells transfected with the empty vector pcDNA3 as a control, or expression vectors encoding the FLAG fusion of human E12 (fhE12), mouse E12 (fmE12), mouse E47 (fmE47), and mouse Scx (fmScx). The binding reactions were performed in the presence or absence of non-labelled oligonucleotides as binding competitors (Comp) or an anti-FLAG antibody (Ab). The positions of shifted and super-shifted bands are shown with black and hollowed arrowheads, respectively.
