Figure 5. — H3 tail contacts with DNA super helical locations (SHLs) in nucleosomal and subnucleosomal species. Plots are for (A) nucleosome, (B) hexasome, and (C) tetrasome. Contacts are summed over each SHL and plotted for each H3 tail. (D) The number of contacts formed between H3 tail residues and DNA base-pairs were mapped onto nucleosomal and subnucleosomal DNA. The thickness and color (see key) of the cartoon backbone represents the number of contacts for a given base pair, where thicker indicates more contacts. A representative end-state structure is used for each species. Histones are omitted from the image for ease of visualization.
