We have begun to purify and characterize several proteins which bind to the mouse immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer to understand the molecular interactions important for enhancer activity. Three proteins which bind to different sites on the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer have been chromatographically separated and partially purified. One protein binds a site which has not been reported previously and does not bind to other reported protein-binding sites on the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer. Binding-site boundaries for the three partially purified proteins have been precisely mapped by methylation interference, DNase I footprinting, and orthophenanthroline/copper chemical nuclease footprinting. We have also characterized these three proteins with respect to dissociation rate constants.
