[0195] Experimental example

Background of the invention

[0196] Binding of proteins to DNA is an important phenomenon in biology; it is a very general process that controls many reactions. While the thermodynamic equilibrium nature of this mechanism is well known, measuring its kinetics is a more challenging problem. The use of single molecules not only provides the ability to measure the time it takes a protein to find its DNA target but also the exact location of a binding event. We describe here a new single-molecule assay that achieves these goals.

[0197] Although this assay is broad in scope, we first demonstrate its applicability to binding of specific oligonucleotides, as well as non-specific binding of helicases to ssDNA.

[0198] Finally, we discuss the specific binding of antibodies that recognize methylated sites in DNA.

[0199] Summary

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for determining whether a protein binds to a specific DNA sequence. This method is useful in particular for identifying modifications to the DNA sequence (e.g. methylations) via the binding of proteins that specifically recognize those modifications (e.g. antibodies), but also to identify the binding sequence on DNA of a variety of proteins.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese patent application with the application number 201480017389.9, the application date is January 22, 2014, and the invention title is "Method for detecting DNA modification and protein binding through single-molecule manipulation". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to methods for determining whether a protein binds to a specific DNA sequence. This method is particularly useful for identifying DNA sequence modifications (eg, methylation) through the binding of proteins (eg, antibodies) that specifically recognize these modifications, and also for identifying binding sequences of various proteins on DNA. Background technique [0003] Binding of proteins to DNA is an important phenomenon in biology; it has fundamental roles in regulating cellular and viral functions. These include fundamental cellular processes such as DNA replication, transcription, DNA repair and DNA recombination, but also ...
