TY - JOUR A1 - Bolz, Mathias A1 - Scheffer, Ute A1 - Kalden, Elisabeth A1 - Göbel, Michael T1 - Redirection of the transcription factor SP1 to AT rich binding sites by a synthetic adaptor molecule T2 - Helvetica chimica acta N2 - The ubiquitous transcription factor SP1 binds to a GC rich consensus sequence. Here we describe an adaptor molecule that mediates binding of SP1 to a non-cognate DNA site rich in AT. The adaptor is comprised of a Dervan-type hairpin polyamide with high affinity to an AT rich hexamer duplex. It also carries a 27mer DNA that contains the SP1 consensus sequence. The synthesis and purification of the polyamide-DNA conjugate is reported. Pulldown experiments and western blot analysis demonstrate adaptor mediated binding of SP1 to the hexamer duplex TTGTTA.
