The aim is to understand how NF-kappaB and IRF-1 interact to enhance iNOS transcription when stimulated by TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma.
Co-immunoprecipitation experiments to assess protein interactions in stimulated macrophages.
Cyclization assays to evaluate effects on DNA bending with nuclear extracts from stimulated versus resting cells.
Super-shift experiments to confirm interactions of NF-kappaB and IRF-1 at DNA binding sites.
IRF-1 and NF-kappaB physically interact in vivo in stimulated macrophages.
Nuclear extracts from stimulated cells accelerate DNA cyclization compared to resting cells.
Mutant IRE or kappaB sites in the promoter inhibit cyclization, showing dependency on these sites.
