Comments concerning this interaction

Interaction in vitro; proteins produced as a recombinant fusion proteins in bacterial system.

Ubx and exd bind DNA cooperatively.

Various combinations of Ubx and exd were mixed with [32]P labeled DNA of the dpp80 regulatory element. DNA-protein complexes observed by EMSA were used to deduce protein-protein interactions.

Comments concerning this interaction

Interaction in vitro; proteins produced as a recombinant fusion protein in bacterial system.

Only heterodimers of Ubx and exd bind strongly to the DNA probe tested; alone, neither binds the DNA probe very well, if at all. Heterodimer formation is affected by mutations in the DNA target.

Ubx and/or exd proteins were mixed with [32]P labeled fkh DNA. DNA-protein complexes observed by EMSA were used to deduce protein-protein interactions.

Interaction in vitro; proteins produced as a recombinant fusion proteins in bacterial system.

exd and Ubx bind DNA cooperatively as a heterodimer. exd alone does not bind the DNA, and Ubx alone binds only weakly. Mutations to the binding sites disrupt the interaction.

Various combinations of exd and Ubx were mixed with [32]P labeled DNA from a TfAP-2 regulatory region. DNA-protein complexes observed by EMSA were used to deduce protein-protein interactions.
