Comments concerning this interaction

Interaction in vitro; protein produced as a recombinant fusion proteins in bacterial system.

In size-exclusion chromatography, the CTCF N-terminal domain had a hydrodynamic mass of ~250 kDa that was greater than the 45 kDa predicted for the monomer.

Comments concerning this interaction

Interaction in vitro; protein produced as a recombinant fusion proteins in bacterial system.

In cross-linking study, the CTCF N-terminal domain had a hydrodynamic mass much greater than the 45 kDa predicted for the monomer. Efficient cross-linking suggests that CTCF multimers observed in size-exclusion chromatography do not represent non-specific aggregates.

Glutaraldehyde cross-linking.
