ATP-dependent nucleosome-remodeling motors use the energy of ATP to alter the accessibility of the underlying DNA. Understanding how these motors alter nucleosome structure can be aided by following changes in histone-DNA contacts in real time. Here, we describe a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based approach that enables visualization of such changes.
ATP 依赖的核小体重塑马达利用 ATP 的能量来改变其下方 DNA 的可及性。实时跟踪组蛋白与 DNA 的接触变化有助于理解这些马达如何改变核小体结构。在此,我们描述了一种基于荧光共振能量转移的方法,该方法能够可视化此类变化。
