摘    要:凝胶阻滞实验(electrophoretic mobility shift assay,EMSA)是研究蛋白质与核酸结合的一种关键实验技术。EMSA技术兴起以来,使用放射性同位素、生物素标记核酸探针的手段已经非常成熟,但这两种传统的标记技术分别具有放射性探针稳定性差和生物素检测步骤复杂等缺点。近年来,尽管荧光标记探针逐渐被应用于EMSA中,但是对于利用荧光标记探针的EMSA仍缺乏系统的报道。对荧光标记的EMSA技术流程进行了优化和系统总结;利用6-羧基荧光素(6-carboxy-fluoroscine,FAM)标记ZmGRAS11启动子探针,通过EMSA检测其与Opaque2蛋白的结合,明确了蛋白和探针的适宜比例为8∶1。对GCN4 motif序列碱基进行突变并利用EMSA分析Opaque2与ZmGRAS11启动子之间的结合位点,结果表明GCN4 motif的“TGAC”核心基序在ZmGRAS11启动子与Opaque2蛋白的结合中可能起到了关键作用。研究结果为进一步探究Opaque2-ZmGRAS11转录调控模块在玉米籽粒发育中的作用机理提供了数据支撑。

关 键 词:凝胶阻滞实验  荧光标记探针  ZmGRAS11启动子  Opaque2蛋白

Abstract:The electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) is an experimental technique for studying the binding between proteins and nucleic acids. Since the establishment of the EMSA technology, radioactive isotope and biotin labeling are the main techniques for tracing nucleic acid probes, but these two traditional labeling techniques have some disadvantages, such as poor stability of radioactive probe and complex detection steps of biotin. Although fluorescently labeled probes have been used in EMSA recently, the systematic workflow has not been reported. This study optimized and systematically summarized the technical procedure of fluorescently labeled EMSA. The 6-carboxy-fluorescence (FAM) labeled ZmGRAS11 promoter probe was applied to detect its binding to Opaque2, and the appropriate protein to probe ratio was 8∶1. Several mutated GCN4 motif sequences were applied to determine the binding site between Opaque2 and ZmGRAS11 promoter, and the results showed that the core motif, TGAC, may play an essential role in the recognition by Opaque2. This study provided data surport for further exploring the mechanism of the Opaque2-ZmGRAS11 transcriptional regulatory module in maize kernel development.
Keywords:electrophoretic mobility shift assay  fluorescence-labeled probes  ZmGRAS11 promoter  opaque2 protein
