DBD of Nurr1 bound to the NBRE-motif located in the second intron of the RasGRP1 gene. (A) SDS–PAGE gel stained with Coomassie brilliant blue, showing the affinity purification of the recombinant Nurr1 protein used for the electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). (B) EMSA for testing the binding ability of the NBRE-motif containing DNA and the DBD of the purified recombinant Nurr1. Biotin-labeled DNA probe (25 ng) was incubated with purified recombinant GST and GST-DBD (3.75 μg), and the DNA–protein complexes were separated on 6% native polyacrylamide gels. (C) The specific binding ability of the DBD of the Nurr1 protein and NBRE-motif containing probe of the RasGRP1 gene was analyzed by competition assay using non-labeled oligonucleotide (2,000 ng). Non-labeled probe (2000 ng) and biotin-labeled DNA probe (25 ng) from the promoters were incubated with purified recombinant GST and GST-DBD (3.75 μg), and the DNA–protein complexes were separated on 6% native polyacrylamide gels. These experiments were repeated three times.
