Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. DNA binding by Zip2499–704:Spo16. Representative gel-shift (upper) and binding curve from triplicate experiments (lower) for Zip2499–704:Spo16 binding dsDNA (A), 5′-overhang (B), 3′-overhang (C), nicked (D), Holliday Junction (E), and nicked Holliday Junction (F) DNA substrates. Protein concentrations in each lane (left to right: 0, 0.625, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 40 M) are the same for all gels. Red asterisks indicate location of multiple shifted bands for the HJ substrate. Gray boxes indicate Kd val- ues for dsDNA, nicked DNA, and Holliday Junction DNA as measured by isothermal titration calorimetry (Supplementary Figure S4).
Article Snippet: To express TEV protease-cleavable, His6-tagged Spo16, full-length Spo16 was cloned into Addgene vector 48324 (contains Spectinomycin resistance and CloDF13 ori) using ligation-independent cloning.
