1 Equilibrium binding constants for the interaction of the E. coli SSB protein with poly(A), poly(U), poly(dA), and poly(dT) have been measured over a range of monovalent salt concentrations and types under conditions which favor only the high site size, (SSB)65 binding mode, which covers 65 nucleotides per SSB tetramer. poly(dA) single-stranded DNA-binding protein Escherichia coli
2 The cooperativity parameter derived from the tetramer/octamer model, which represents the equilibrium constant for formation of a nucleic acid bound SSB octamer from two nucleic acid bound tetramers, has a value of omegaT/O = 410 +/- 120 and is independent of salt concentration and type for poly(dA), poly(U), and poly(A) (25 degrees C, pH 8.1). poly(dA) single-stranded DNA-binding protein Escherichia coli
