GAS/ISRE Gel Shift Oligonucleotides are short DNA sequences tailored for utilization in gel shift assays, a foundational tool in molecular biology research employed to examine protein-DNA interactions. The name "GAS/ISRE" refers to the consensus binding sequences recognized by the transcription factors STAT (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription) and ISGF3 (Interferon-Stimulated Gene Factor 3), respectively. These transcription factors play critical roles in mediating cellular responses to cytokines and interferons, respectively, thereby regulating gene expression involved in immune response, cell proliferation, and antiviral defense. GAS/ISRE Gel Shift Oligonucleotides are instrumental in gel shift assays, allowing researchers to investigate the binding kinetics, specificity, and affinity of STAT and ISGF3 to their respective target DNA sequences under various experimental conditions. This technique facilitates the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying STAT and ISGF3-mediated gene regulation and provides insights into the signaling networks governing cellular responses to cytokine and interferon signaling.
