Figure 3. Aberrant chromatin compaction induced by htb1-T122E is independent of H2Bub1.

Figure 3

(A) Plasmids carrying RAD6 or rad6 mutants were transformed into the strains UCC6389 with RAD6 deletion expressing HTB1 or htb1-T122E. WCEs prepared from the indicated strains were analyzed by western blot. H2B and its ubiquitylation were detected by anti-Flag antibody; H3 K4 and K79 trimethylation were analyzed using anti-H3 K4me3 or anti-H3 K79me3 antibodies. The G6PDH antibody was used to monitor protein loading. (B) Overnight cultures of the indicated strains were 5-fold serial diluted and spotted on the indicated plates (-His-Lys for plasmid selection; -His-Lys+FOA for telomere silencing analysis). (C) H2Bub1 does not affect chromatin condensation in htb1-T122E cells, as shown by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Vector only or plasmids with WT RAD6 were transformed into rad6Δ htb1-T122E yeast with UCC6389 background. The relative positions of the fragments containing sub-telomeric (sub-TEL), or euchromatin region (euC), were shown in upper panel or lower panel, respectively.
