Analysis of ISW2-induced nucleosome translocation. (A) Nucleosomes were reconstituted on 210- or 300-bp end-labeled DNA fragments containing the 601, 603 or 605 nucleosome positioning sequences (Figure 1A), incubated with ISW2 and analyzed by native PAGE. Nucleosome positions are indicated. M, end-labeled pBR322-MspI digest. (B) Mapping of 603-P nucleosome positions: restriction enzyme sensitivity assay. Top: Expected positions of nucleosomes on permissive 603-P template before (Nucl.) and after ISW2 remodeling (Nucl*ISW2). Unique sites for restriction enzymes are indicated. Bottom: Analysis of end-labeled 603-P nucleosomes by native PAGE before and after remodeling and digestion with a restriction enzyme. Histone-free DNA was added to the nucleosomal templates as an internal control for restriction enzyme activity. (C) Mapping of 603-P nucleosome positions before and after remodeling by ISW2: DNase I footprinting. ISW2 induces translocation of the 603-P nucleosome by 36 bp. Footprinting of DNA (D) and the nucleosome (N) was conducted before and after remodeling. Analysis by denaturing PAGE. Nucleosome positions are indicated (dashed lines and ovals).
