Abstract
A DNA-binding protein, which migrated as one major protein band, with a molecular weight of 14,000, on sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel, was purified from a culture medium of mouse thymus cells. The interaction of the isolated protein with DNA in vitro was assayed by a nitrocellulose filter binding technique. Equilibrium competition experiments demonstrated that the DNA-binding protein had the ability to differentiate among sequences of polynucleotides, indicating that the DNA-binding protein-DNA interaction was at least partially specific. This protein increased the helix melting temperature of DNA and inhibited the incorporation of [3H]dTMP into DNA by the DNA polymerase of calf thymus in vitro.
