  • Title: Two nuclear DNA binding proteins of Dictyostelium discoideum with a high affinity for poly(dA)-poly(dT).
    Author: Garreau H, Williams JG.
    Journal: Nucleic Acids Res; 1983 Dec 10; 11(23):8473-84. PubMed ID: 6324086.
    Abstract:
    Intergenic regions of the Dictyostelium genome contain an extremely high proportion of AT base pairs. Those intergenic regions which have been subjected to nucleotide sequence analysis are predominantly composed of alternating runs of poly(dA) and poly(dT) and there is evidence to suggest that nucleosomes do not form on such sequences. We have identified two nuclear proteins, of molecular weight 70,000 and 74,000 daltons, which bind only to intergenic regions of a cloned Dictyostelium gene. Binding is specifically inhibited in the presence of synthetic poly(dA) - poly (dT) as competitor. These proteins may play some role in the chromosomal organization of intergenic regions in Dictyostelium discoideum.
