Quantitation of URA1 DNase I footprinting results. The
graph shows the relative band intensities measured from the gel image
shown in Fig. 3B,
lanes 1-6, obtained by single band peak fitting
(49,
55). Note that the addition of
Mot1 resulted in suppression of DNase I digestion at downstream positions, but
at only two positions (asterisks) was the digestion reduced below the
level of digestion seen in reactions with DNA alone. Thus, Mot1 reduced the
enhanced downstream digestion attributable to TBP, rather than generating a
true extension of the TBP footprint.
