cMBD2MBD does not exchange between binding sites as efficiently as MBD4MBD. (a) The intensities for auto (AA and BB) and exchange (AB and BA) crosspeaks for Glu21 from Nz-exchange spectra were fit to four coupled equations to determine the rate of intermolecular exchange at 185 μM (upper panel) and 370 μM (lower panel) cMBD2MBD concentration. (b) 2D 1H-15N TROSY HSQC spectra of cMBD2MBD bound to methylated wild-type and inverted (10 bp) DNA (red, upper panel), tandem (30 bp) DNA (blue, middle panel) and tandem (20 bp) DNA (orange, lower panel) show that intramolecular exchange for cMBD2MBD remains in the slow to intermediate NMR timescale when bound to the tandem (30 bp) DNA. If the sites are 4 bp closer together as in the tandem (20 bp), then cMBD2MBD exchanges between sites on the fast NMR timescale.
