From: DNA binding activities of the Herves transposase from the mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Figure 2

Herves -L bp 12-48 and bp 28-60 are important for transposase binding. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) with (a) Herves- left (L) bp 1-100 and (b) Herves-L bp 12-48 as probes. Overlapping 30 bp fragments were used as competitors for transposase binding to the probe. The specific and non-specific competitors were use at 200-fold molar excess to the probe, unless specified otherwise. The asterisk (*) indicates various protein DNA complexes. (a) Specific and non-specific competitors was used as described for Figure 1; (b) a 30 bp non-homologous fragment, from the β2 tubulin gene of Aedes aegypti, was used as a non-specific competitor.
