NF-κB transcription factors control a wide array of important cellular and organismal processes in eukaryotes. All NF-κB transcription factors bind to DNA target sites as dimers. In vertebrates, there are five NF-κB subunits, p50, p52, RelA (p65), c-Rel, and RelB, that can form almost all combinations of homodimers and heterodimers, which recognize distinct, but overlapping, target sequences. In this chapter, we describe the use of protein-binding microarrays (PBMs), a high-throughput method to measure the binding of proteins to different DNA sequences. PBM datasets allow for sensitive comparisons of NF-κB dimer DNA-binding differences and can aid in the computational and experimental prediction of NF-κB target genes
