DNA Pull Down Service
DNA pull down-MS is a powerful tool to study DNA-protein interactions in vitro. Biotin-labeled DNA fragments are bound to streptavidin magnetic beads and then incubated with cellular nuclear proteins. The protein product is then purified and eluted to detect whether the specific protein binds to the target DNA fragment by western-blot; mass spectrometry is used to identify the proteins that may interact with the DNA fragment (e.g., a specific transcription factor/histone, etc.).
Principle of DNA Pull Down Technology
The interaction between biotin and streptavidin is the most intense non-covalent interaction known. Among them, activated biotin can be coupled to almost all known biological macromolecules mediated by protein cross-linking agents. Therefore, after labeling nucleic acids with biotin, a variety of biomolecular complexes can be purified using the affinity interaction between biotin and streptavidin.
DNA pull down experiments begin with the design of a DNA probe for the target region, which is labeled with dethiobiotin and bound to streptavidin coupled to a magnetic bead. Nucleus extracts are incubated with the beads-DNA probe to purify the protein complex bound to the target DNA fragment, which is then eluted to obtain the bound protein of the DNA fragment.
Application of DNA Pull Down
Screening of interacting proteins (such as transcription factors, etc.) of target DNA fragments.
