DNA compaction by TmHU is salt-dependent. Agarose gel electrophoresis of HBsu, TmHU at 50 mM NaCl (TmHU) or TmHU at 200 mM NaCl (TmHU + NaCl) binding to supercoiled (s/c; top row), linear (lin; middle row), or nicked (nick; bottom row) pUC18 DNA. Protein concentrations, identical for all rows, are indicated at the bottom. Reactions in lanes 1 contain no protein, with the position of the free DNA identified at the left. DNA is stained with EtBr after electrophoresis; DNA in reactions with higher concentrations of TmHU fails to stain.
