Figure Lengend Snippet: IL-2 promoter DNA binding of modified NF- κ Bs expressed in a cell-free E. coli protein biosynthesizing system following treatment with a cytoplasmic lysate from activated Jurkat cells in the presence of GTP. The relative intensities were determined using ImageQuant version 5.2 software (Molecular Dynamics) on the basis of the 32 P signal. The value of the band for wild-type NF- κ B in the presence of GTP was defined as 100%. (A) IL-2 promoter DNA binding with NF- κ Bs depends on the presence of GTP and cytoplasmic lysate. Lanes 1–3, wild-type NF- κ B; lanes 4–15, modified NF- κ Bs having p50 subunits with pTyr at respective positions 44, 60, 82, or 90. (B) Comparison of IL-2 promoter DNA binding ability to wild-type and modified NF- κ Bs. Controls included wild-type NF- κ B in the absence and presence of GTP (lanes 1 and 2), and NF κ Bs containing modified p50 subunits with pTyr at positions 44, 60, 82, or 90 (lanes 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively). The statistical significance was determined using the Student’s t -test: wild-type vs pTyr44-p50, p > 0.05; wild-type vs pTyr60-p50, p < 0.001; wild-type vs pTyr82-p50, p < 0.001; and wild-type vs pTyr90-p50, p < 0.001.
