TRF1-Myb and TRF2-Myb bind to nucleosomal telomeric sequences with similar affinities. (A, C) Gel mobility-shift assay. Naked DNA (lanes 1–7) and NCPs formed on Tel8-L (lanes 8–14) were incubated with increasing amounts of TRF1-Myb (A) or TRF2-Myb (C). The molar concentration of TRF1-Myb and TRF2-Myb is indicated above the lanes. Samples were separated on a 4.5% polyacrylamide gel. (B, D) Percentages of unbound DNA and NCPs are reported as a function of protein concentration in the reaction. The concentration of TRF1-Myb (B) and TRF2-Myb (D) at which 50% of naked DNA and nucleosome remain unbound has been extrapolated.
