| Description: | Detection of MEF2D and P300 interactions. The same system that was used in Example 19 is used in here to detect MEF2D and P300 interactions. In this assay, two separate DNA constructs were made with MEF2D fused with the GAL4 DNA binding domain (GAL4-MEF2D) and P300 fused with the viral transactivator VP-16 (HDAC4-VP16). Human epithelial carcinoma cells (HeLa) were co-transfected with the two DNA constructs (GAL4-MEF2D and P300-VP16) and a reporter plasmid (Gal4Luc). The DNA constructs resulted in expression of the GAL4-MEF2D and P300-VP16 fusion proteins within the cell. MEF2D and P300 protein interactions were detected as a result of the GAL4-MEF2D and P300-VP16 protein complex binding a DNA promoter on the reporter plasmid (Gal4Luc) and driving cellular expression of a luciferase gene. The measured luciferase protein signal was proportional to the amount of MEF2D and P300 protein interactions occurring with the cell. |
