Figure 5. The RSC chromatin remodelers are required to prevent CAG repeat expansions, facilitate SCR, and are recruited to the CAG repeat.
(A, B) Instability was measured as in Fig. 1A; *p<0.05 to wildtype, Fisher’s exact test. (C) Spontaneous SCR rates were measured and analyzed as in Fig. 4A, B. (D) MMS-induced SCR as in Fig. 4D. (E–F) Recruitment of TAP-tagged Rsc proteins to 0.6 kb from the CAG repeat was measured by ChIP in α-factor synchronized cells at time points after release into fresh media; qPCR was run as in Fig 2B. Background levels were determined by IgG pull-down in a CAG-155 strain containing no TAP tag; percent of input sample precipitated is shown with no normalization to another locus. Averages and standard errors (SEM) for 2–4 independent replicates for each time point are shown.
