Mode of DNA binding by SopA protein of Escherichia coli F plasmid.

Abstract excerpt

The binding of SopA to the promoter region of its own gene, in which four copies of SopA's recognition sequence, 5'-CTTTGC-3', are arrayed asymmetrically, was examined in vitro. Titration using electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that the stoichiometry of SopA protomers to the promoter-region DNA is 4 and that the binding is highly co-operative. The co-operativity was corroborated by EMSA and DNase I...
