I have 5 sequenced genes, including the punitive promotor region of each gene. All are involved in the cold acclimation process in arabidopsis. Each is expressed only when the temperature falls below a certain point. the specific transcripition factor
CBF1 binds somewhere between -200 and -250 of the genes to initiate transcription.

How do i use the sequences to determine the sequence that is bound by CBF1?

Solution Summary

The expert examines the DNA sequence motif that is bound by CBF1.

Solution Preview

There are two main approaches that you can use for determining the binding sequence for CBF1. Assuming that you have the purified protein, you can do a DNA fingerprinting technique. In this approach, you incubate the cloned and 32P-labelled DNA sequences with the purified CBF1 protein. After a period of time, partially digest the DNA with nucleases. Then, run the DNA fragments on a polyacrylamide gel using electrophoresis. Expose the gel to autoradiographic film. This will allow the 32P-labelled ...
