[HTML][HTML] DNA Binding Specificities and Pairing Rules of the Ah Receptor, ARNT, and SIM Proteins (∗)

HI Swanson, WK Chan, CA Bradfield - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995 - ASBMB
The Ah receptor (AHR), the Ah receptor nuclear translocator protein (ARNT), and single-
minded protein (SIM) are members of the basic helix-loop-helix-PAS (bHLH-PAS) family of
regulatory proteins. In this study, we examine the DNA half-site recognition and pairing rules
for these proteins using oligonucleotide selection-amplification and coprecipitation
protocols. Oligonucleotide selection-amplification revealed that a variety of bHLH-PAS
protein combinations could interact, with each generating a unique DNA binding specificity …
