Fig. 6From: The high mobility group protein HMO1 functions as a linker histone in yeastEffect of linker histone H1 on MNase sensitivity of chromatin isolated from synchronized cells and on growth rate. a–c MNase digestion of chromatin isolated from synchronized DDY3, hmo1∆, and hmo1∆ expressing human linker histone H1.2. Cells were synchronized in G1 phase for a total of 3 h by the addition of alpha factor. Nuclei were digested with 0.25 U/µl MNase for the time indicated. Nucleosomal DNA was purified and resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis and stained with ethidium bromide. d–f Growth curve for wild-type DDY3, hmo1∆ expressing H1, and DDY3 expressing H1. Cells were grown in synthetic-defined media, and cells were collected at regular intervals to measure OD at 600 nmBack to article page
