Figure 7.

Chromatin structure at promoter and coding regions of AKY2. Native chromatin was digested with increasing concentrations (Materials and Methods) of DNase I (left) or of micrococcal nuclease (right). Naked DNA, treated with DNase I or micrococcal nuclease, served as internal controls. The results are illustrated by the schematic drawing in the center. Thick bars, coding regions; thin bars, non-coding regions; short black boxes, the kinks flanking the TATA element (T) of AKY2. Ellipses symbolize nucleosome protected DNA, the lens denotes a short protected stretch in the terminator (t) region.
