TCF-1 aptamer
Timeline
Lee SK et.al selected an RNA aptamer that specifically bound to the beta-catenin-interacting N-terminal motif of TCF-1[2]
Description
In 2004, Lee S.Y and Jeong S. screened an RNA library consisting of random sequences of 70 nucleotides and were able to isolate aptamers that bind to TCF-1 with high affinity and specificity. And employed RNase footprinting to characterize the RNA structures and map their binding sites for TCF-1. In 2006,Choi K.H. et al. have selected previously an RNA aptamer that binds to the DNA-binding domain of TCF-1 and have shown that it interfered with binding of TCF-1 to its specific DNA recognition sequences in vitro[1].SELEX
In 2004, Lee SY and colleagues used existing research to design the method required for the in vitro genetic-selection. Starting from a RNA pool that had a sequence of 70 random nucleotide positions, aptamers that bind specifically to RANK were selected after 13 rounds of selection and amplification. The aptamer, #10, can bind specifically to TCF-1 were selected with high affinity[1].

Ligand information
SELEX ligand
The TCF7-like family includes TCF-7, TCF7-like 1 (TF7L1), lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF-1), and similar proteins. TCF-7, also called T-cell-specific transcription factor 1, or T-cell factor 1 (TCF-1), is a T lymphocyte-specific transcriptional activator involved in T-cell lymphocyte differentiation.-----From Pfam
