Use the upstream seq.  You've isolated along with the rec. protein with EMSA.

Hi:

Why not express the protein in E. coli, then carry out EMSA usong the recombinant protein to locate the binding sites on the DNA.

Hi folks,

Suppose I have a novel gene whose product is a DNA binding protein, how
would I go about locating potential binding sites where this protein could
bind? I'm only interested in finding sites for this specific protein and not
a general scan of tfbs.

I've extracted upstream sequences of genes that I'm interested in but I
can't think of a way forward.

Cheers and belated happy new year :-P
