Figure 1

The initial structure of the two nucleosomes. Two NCPs are shown in the tube model. Cyt22 and Thy62 in DNA1 and Cyt189 and Thy229 in DNA2 are shown in the CPK model. His18 of the H4 tail in the NCP1/2 is shown in the CPK model in green. H3, H4, H2A, and H2B are shown in blue, green, yellow, and red, respectively. The N-terminal residues of H3 (Ala1 to Pro30) and H2B (Pro2 to Lys21) that protruded from DNA gyres were truncated. The reaction coordinate, d, and between the phosphorus atom of Cyt22/Cyt189 in DNA1/2 and the phosphorus atom of Thy229/Thy62 in DNA2/1, d(DNAs)1/2, at the initial structure were 57.2 Å and 9.4/9.3 Å, respectively.
