A) 293T cells expressing FLAG-EBNA1 WT or Y518F with oriP were assayed by ChIP assay under standard formaldehyde cross-linking conditions (Cross-linked) or without formaldehyde (Native) and assayed for ChIP with antibodies to IgG or Flag (EBNA1 WT or Y518F) or H3K4me2, as indicated. ChIP-DNA was assayed for oriP FR sequence by Taqman specific qPCR. student T-test, n=3., ns -not significant, * p value < 0.01 ** p value <0.001*** p value <0.0001. B) EMSA analysis of EBNA1 DBD WT, Y518A, Y518F, Y518E, H468A or N519A using DS probe with a single EBNA1 binding site. EC) Coomassie stain of SDS-PAGE for 200 ng purified EBNA1 DBD WT, Y518A, Y518F, Y518E, H468A or N519A. D) Quantification of EMSA and calculation of EC50 (nM) for each mutant.
