Figure 2: BRD4-S binds to nucleosomes with nanomolar affinity at 70 mM NaCl independent of histone acetylation.

(a) Time-resolved FRET binding assay results for BRD4-S binding to unmodified (blue), H4 tailless = H4(24–102) (green) and H4 K12acK16ac nucleosomes (pink) in 70 mM NaCl. (b) Effect of NaCl concentration on BRD4-S binding to unmodified (blue) or H4 K12acK16ac nucleosomes (pink) as assayed by TR-FRET. P-values comparing the Kd for the acetylated vs unmodified nucleosomes indicated as follows: ns for not significant, * for p-value < 0.05, * for p-value < 0.01.
