Extended Data Fig. 5

a) FRET analysis of homotypic CENP-A mono-nucleosome (CA) or H3 mono-nucleosome (H3) interactions in the absence or presence of CENP-N. Donor is a mono-nucleosomes containing Alexa 488 labeled H2B; Acceptor is a mono-nucleosome containing Atto N 647 labeled H2B. 250 nM donor and acceptor nucleosome; FRET intensity in dependence of [CENP-N]. Final concentration for NaCl is around 100 mM. Error bars from three independent measurements. Data are presented as mean values + /- SD. b) Salt concentration affects nucleosome stack formation. AUC analysis (van Holde-Weischet plots) of CENP-N in complex with CENP-A mono-nucleosomes at 60 and 200 mM NaCl). CN: CENP-N1–289 in complex with CENP-A mono-nucleosome. CA_MN: CENP-A mono-nucleosome. c) CENP-N mutant (K102A) binds to CENP-A nucleosomes as well as wild-type CENP-N (5% native PAGE). 250 nM CENP-A nucleosome was combined with CENP-N at ratios of 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1 in buffer containing 50 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8), 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT. d) deletion of the H4 N-terminal tail (∆19) does not affect the specific interaction between CENP-N and CENP-A nucleosomes. CENP-N was mixed with CENP-A nucleosome containing full length H4 or (∆19) H4 at a 2:1 ratio in the same buffer as in A).
