- the present invention is useful for searching for the interaction between a gene and a transcription factor that binds to the gene, analyzing protein functions and detecting drugs using the same.
- transcriptional activation or inactivation by transcriptional regulators have been analyzed, focusing on the transcriptional system that is the basis of transcription, and ultimately development, differentiation, proliferation, It is hoped that life phenomena such as canceration will be understood through transcriptional control nets, networks and cascades. This Under such circumstances, a detection system that can rapidly and specifically detect the binding reaction between a transcription factor and DNA is expected.

It requires a lot of time and cost because of the need for analysis. In addition, even if there is a specific sample, it is difficult to collect the sample, and the scalability to proteome analysis and the like is poor. Also, screening a lot of proteins takes a lot of time, cost and effort.

In detail, this method involves labeling the 5 'or 3' end of a DNA fragment containing a protein binding site with 32p, treating it with DNase, performing base non-specific cleavage, By performing autoradiography after electrophoresis, a band of DNA fragments separated by a difference in length for each base is obtained. On the other hand, when the above DNA fragment is bound to a protein and subjected to DNase treatment, the base at the binding site is not cleaved, and the corresponding band disappears in autoradiography and becomes white. See through. By comparing the two autoradiograms, it is possible to determine the binding site of the protein and the nucleotide sequence of that portion. This method also requires a large amount of time, cost, and effort because it requires analysis by electrophoresis and autoradiography.

- Means From laser light source 1 The light beam 15 is first attenuated according to the attenuation of the fluorescence intensity adjusting means (here, an ND filter) 2 in the path shown by the arrow in FIG.
- the incident light is refracted in the direction of the 90-degree stage by the Croatskin mirror 4 and irradiates the sample on the stage 6 through the objective lens 5. In this way, the light beam is condensed on the sample at one minute point to form a confocal point region.
