Simple detection of a yeast mitochondrial DNA-binding protein, Abf2p, on SDS-DNA gels

[摘要] Abf2p, a mitochondrial DNA-binding protein of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was selectively detected among mitochondrial nucleoid proteins by SDS-DNA polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-DNA PAGE) followed by ethidium bromide staining. This method is simple and specific for the detection of Abf2p, and it may be used to identify an Abf2p-like protein that is present in mitochondrial nucleoids from other yeasts.
