Figure 6.

Nucleosome duplexes and altosomes are twice the size of mononucleosomes. AFM images of purified (A) mp2-247 nucleosomes with unmodified HO (247 Unmod Canonical Nucs), (B) mp2-247 nucleosomes with H3(T118ph) HO (247 T118ph Canonical Nucs) and (C) mp2-247 nucleosome duplexes with H3(T118ph) HO (247 T118ph Nuc Duplexes/altosomes). Inset is 60 nm in width. Histograms of (D) surface area and (E) height of mp2-247 containing unmodified nucleosomes (black square, n = 173), H3(T118ph) canonical nucleosomes (blue circle, n = 140) and H3(T118ph) nucleosome duplexes/altosomes (red triangle, n = 175). AFM images of 601-17mer arrays reconstituted with (F) unmodified (11.2 ± 0.5 nucleosomes per molecule, n = 27) and (G) H3(T118ph) HO (7.1 ± 0.4 discrete complexes per molecule, n = 32). Inset is 400 nm in width.
