Description

Description: Mononucleosomes assembled from recombinant human histones expressed in E. coli (two each of histones H2AX, H2B, H3 and H4. Accession numbers: H2AX-P16104; H2B-O60814; H3.1-P68431; H4-P62805) wrapped by 147 base pairs of 601 positioning sequence DNA. The 601 sequence, identified by Lowary and Widom [1], has high affinity for histone octamers and is useful for nucleosome assembly. H2AX is a variant of histone H2A that is phosphorylated on serine 139 by the ATM and ATR kinases in response to DNA double strand breakage [2]. Phosphorylation of H2AX serves to recruit a number of DNA damage repair proteins, such as BRCA1 and NBS1 [2].
