Figure 2. Cryo‐tomograms of compact plates and distorted plates decorated with nucleosomes.

Figure 2

  • A
    Nucleosomes (N) decorating a relaxed plate (P1); insets in the upper right show additional examples. Nucleosomes are not visible as individual units in typical compact plates (P2). Short compact interdigitated solenoids are shown in the main image (S) and in the bottom‐left insets.
  • B–E
    Slice (B) and segmentations in three different orientations (C) of a large relaxed plate decorated with many nucleosomes on its right side. Slice (D) and segmentation (E) of a relaxed plate forming a tube decorated with nucleosomes.
  • F
    Structure of the decorative particles (like those shown in N, panel A) after subtomogram averaging. The final density map was filtered to 25 Å and fitted with the molecular structure of the nucleosome core particle (Protein Data Bank code 2CV5).
Data information: Scale bars: 50 nm (A, including the insets, B–E); 5 nm (F).
