Mapping of DNA-binding proteins along the yeast genome by UV-induced DNA-protein crosslinking

FEBS Lett. 1996 Feb 26;381(1-2):103-5. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(96)00091-9.

Abstract

UV-induced crosslinking of DNA-binding proteins to DNA in intact nuclei of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and subsequent 'protein image' hybridization were applied to map non-histone proteins along single-copy genes of yeast. We detected two polypeptides that most probably correspond to core subunits of yeast RNA-polymerase II in the coding region of transketolase gene (TKL2). Several non-histone proteins were also detected which bind to the upstream region of TKL2 gene, and to the intergenic spacer between calmodulin (CMD1) and beta-mannosyl transferase (ALG1) genes.
