Figure 3. Effect of a nucleosome free region on DC Linker DNA accessibility.

Figure 3

(A) A 25-mer array with a nucleosome-free region is maximally self-associated in DraIII digestion buffer. Lanes 1 and 2 show arrays soluble in the absence and presence of NEB4 buffer. Lanes 3–9 show soluble arrays in NEB 4 buffer with increasing concentrations of additional MgCl2, as indicated. (B) A Nucleosome free region enhances accessibility of DraIII sites in the center of the 25-nucleosome array. DraIII digestions were performed with 25-mer arrays in which the central nucleosome contained native histones (WT, lanes 1–8) or was ligated in as a naked template representing a nucleosome-free region (DC NFR, lanes 9–16). Digestions were as described for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. krel calculated for each of the digests is shown below the gels.
