Figure 3. Comparison of H4 tail acetylation by p300 in chromatinized plasmid templates with activator Gal4-VP16.

(A) Extracted ion chromatograms of all H4(4–17) tryptic peptides obtained after SDS-PAGE resolution and in-gel trypsination of acetylated chromatin containing wild-type (wt) H4. (B) Extracted ion chromatograms of all H4(4–17) tryptic peptides obtained after SDS-PAGE resolution, in-gel desumoylation and trypsination of acetylated chromatin containing H4K12su. The extracted m/z of each spectrum is centered on the [M + 2 H]2+ precursor ion.
