title: STAT-like DNA-binding activity in Spodoptera frugiperda cells.
abstract: Nuclear extracts from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells were shown to contain a factor binding to DNA elements with gamma interferon activated site-like sequences. The DNA-binding activity was shown to be dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation. Hydrodynamic characterization of this entity revealed a Stokes radius of 8.4 nm and a sedimentation coefficient of 5.9 S. The molecular weight was calculated to 209,000. Estimated frictional (f/to) and axial (a/b) ratios indicated an elongated structure of this DNA-binding entity. This DNA-binding factor could represent a dimer of a Sf9 homolog to the mammalian signal transducers and activators of transcription.
