Studying RNA Polymerase II Promoter-Proximal Pausing by In Vitro Immobilized Template and Transcription Assays

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The immobilized template assay is a versatile biochemical method for studying protein–nucleic acid interactions. Using this method, immobilized nucleic acid-associated or specific proteins can be identified and quantified by techniques such as mass spectrometry and immunoblotting. Here, a modified immobilized template assay combined with in vitro transcription assay to study the function of transcription factors and transcriptional activities at the human heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) gene is described. Notably, this method can be applied to study other important genes and transcription factors in vitro.
