The electrophoretic mobility shift assay based on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for the study of the interaction of transcription factors with DNA in vitro. It relies on a change in the electrophoretic mobility of a DNA fragment when bound to an interacting protein. The assay can be used to test DNA binding of either purified or recombinant proteins or uncharacterized binding activities present in crude protein extracts from plant cells or nuclei. It allows the determination of the abundance, affinity, association rate constants, dissociation rate constants, and binding specificity of DNA-binding proteins.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus propels itself through liquids using a polar flagellum and efficiently swarms across surfaces or viscous environments with the aid of lateral flagella. H-NS plays a negative role in the swarming motility of V. parahaemolyticus by directly repressing the transcription of the lateral flagellin gene lafA.

Glycans are known to be fundamental for many cellular and physiological functions. Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) currently encompassing over 160 subtypes, are characterized by glycan synthesis and/or processing defects. Despite the increasing number of CDG patients, therapeutic options remain very limited as our knowledge on glycan synthesis is fragmented.
