摘要
The DNA-binding properties of the FokI restriction endonuclease were studied using the gel-mobility-shift assay. Specific recognition of the cognate sequence and cleavage of DNA are distinguishable functions and can be separated. FokI binds to its recognition site predominantly as a monomer. At high concentrations, FokI exhibits a cooperative recognition sequence-dependent aggregation. In 20 mM KCl/10 mM Tris.HCl buffer, the binding constant of FokI to its cognate site is equal 6.0-7.9 x 10(8)/mol and is lower than the values for most gene-regulatory proteins. FokI binding is 600-1500 times weaker to non-cognate double-stranded DNA than to the GGATG site, and 30 000 times weaker to single-stranded DNA or tRNA. The method of Bading [Nucleic Acids Res. 16 (1988) 5241-5248], used for determining the stoichiometry of protein bound to DNA by gel-mobility-shift assay, is extended.
