Figure IV.8. The docking domain of H2A.Bbd is responsib<strong>le</strong> for anomalous remo<strong>de</strong>ling by<br />

SWI/SNF (A) RSC remo<strong>de</strong>ling reaction was performed on H2A.ddBbd nuc<strong>le</strong>osomes as <strong>de</strong>scribed in<br />

Figure IV.6. RSC activity was normalized to SWI/SNF as <strong>de</strong>scribed in the text. Lanes 1-7 represent<br />

HaeIII digestion of control H2A.ddBbd nuc<strong>le</strong>osomes (incubated in absence of ATP) at different time<br />

points. Similarly, lanes 8-14 represent HaeIII digestion of RSC remo<strong>de</strong><strong>le</strong>d nuc<strong>le</strong>osomes. HaeIII<br />

concentration was kept at 5 units/μl. Times of digestion with HaeIII and the positions of the different<br />

dyads are indicated. Free DNA, in the same condition, was digested for 1 minute (Lane 15). (B)<br />

remo<strong>de</strong><strong>le</strong>d H2A.ddBbd nuc<strong>le</strong>osomes. Positions of respective dyads are <strong>de</strong>noted on x-axis. (C) Figure<br />

In the present work we have studied the ro<strong>le</strong> of H2A docking domain in nuc<strong>le</strong>osome<br />

mobilization mediated by SWI/SNF and RSC. Nuc<strong>le</strong>osome sliding assays using H2A C-<br />

terminal <strong>de</strong><strong>le</strong>tion as well the H2A.ddBbd chimeric proteins c<strong>le</strong>arly <strong>de</strong>monstrated the<br />

importance of H2A docking domain in this process (Figure IV.3, 4 and 5). It is important to<br />

note that neither SWI/SNF binding nor ATPase activity is affected on H2A.Bbd nuc<strong>le</strong>osomes<br />

(Angelov et al., 2004). The results presented here rather indicate towards an active structural<br />

ro<strong>le</strong> of histone octamer in chromatin remo<strong>de</strong>ling process. SWI/SNF and RSC <strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt<br />

remo<strong>de</strong>ling of conventional nuc<strong>le</strong>osomes starts with unwrapping and/or pumping DNA from<br />
