assembly of nucleosomal arrays from recombinant core histones and nucleosome positioning dna

被沿DNA分子重复间隔核心组蛋白八聚体被称为核小体阵列。核小体阵列中的两种方法之一获得：纯化来自体内来源的，或重组的来自重组核心组蛋白的体外和串联重复的核小体定位的DNA。后一种方法具有允许的更组分均匀的组装和精确定位的核小体阵列的优点。沉降速度实验中约大分子通过分析在它们通过离心力作用下溶液迁移率的大小和形状的分析型超速离心机产率的信息。该技术中，随着原子力显微镜，可以用于质量控制，确保多数的DNA模板被重构后饱和的核小体。在这里，我们描述了需要重建的长度毫克量和成分上D中的协议efined核小体阵列适用于染色质的结构和功能的生物化学和生物物理研究。

为了说明该协议，我们重组从重组非洲爪蟾核心组蛋白和DNA组成的12串联601定位序列（601 207×12）的207 bp的重复序列核小体阵列。我们首先组装从冻干的核心组蛋白八聚体原生，然后用S200柱（ 图1A）纯化，八聚体，通过FPLC。更大的络合物较早洗脱从S200列。组蛋白一般洗脱顺序为：非特异性组蛋白聚集体，组蛋白八聚体，四聚体H3/H4和H2A/H2B二聚体（ 图1A）。...
