Figure 1. PSC inhibits remodeling of mononucleosomes poorly.

Figure 1

Restriction enzyme accessibility (REA) assays were carried out with PSC at the indicated concentrations and hSwi/Snf. A,B) Representative gels of REAs with 6N (A) and 2N (B) templates. (N refers to nucleosomes, so 6N is a 6-nucleosome template; all of these templates are composed of repeats of the 5S nucleosome positioning sequence.). C) Summary of REAs with 6N and 2N templates. D, E) Representative gel of REA with mononucleosomes assembled on a 157-bp (10-1N) 5S template at 1nM (D) or 5nM (E). Note that PstI was used for digestion in the experiment with 1nM nucleosomes, while HhaI was used with 5nM nucleosomes. Both enzymes have single digestion sites in the template, but produce slightly different digestion patterns (HhaI digests the template into 77 and 80 bp fragments, which are not resolved, while PstI digests it into 99 and 52 bp fragments). Both enzymes were used in these assays and they produce very similar results. D) Summary of REAs with mononucleosome template. Error bars in are SEM.
