DNase I protection of DNA bound to HsRad51 or RecA

Cofactor % DNA protected from DNase I digestion
RecA HsRad51
ATP 90 90
ATP[γS] 95 79
None 91 30

The reaction was done as described in the text. The amount of DNase I used (0.067 unit/μl) was sufficient to digest all unprotected DNA molecules in 2 min. Protected DNA was the fraction that remained trichloroacetic acid-insoluble.
