The amounts of DNA bound in Swi5-DNA and Swi5-Pho2-DNA complexes were quantitated, as described in Materials and Methods, from the gel retardation assays shown in Fig. 4. The amount of Swi5-Pho2-DNA complex formed by using wild-type Swi5 was normalized to 100% in each experiment, and the relative fraction of complex formed by the Swi5 mutants was calculated accordingly. The amount of Swi5-DNA binary complex formed was similarly normalized to the amount of the wild-type Swi5-Pho2-DNA ternary complexes.
