Disruption

We find that reconstituted nucleosome cores containing specific
DNA sequences dissociate on dilution. This disruption of histone-DNA
contacts leading to the release of free DNA is facilitated by the
presence of the core histone tails, MgCl (5 mM),
KCl (60 mM), and temperatures above 0 °C. Under reaction
conditions that are commonly used to assess trans-acting factor access
to nucleosomal DNA, histone-DNA contacts are on the threshold of
instability. We demonstrate how dilution of reconstituted nucleosomes
containing a TATA box can facilitate TBP access to DNA.
