Title | Functional analysis of nucleosome assembly protein, NAP-1. The negatively charged COOH-terminal region is not necessary for the intrinsic assembly activity. |

Abstract |
A nucleosome assembly protein (NAP-1) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae facilitates the association of histones with DNA to form nucleosomes in vitro at physiological ionic conditions. The cloned gene was expressed in Escherichia coli using a T7 expression system, and the protein (417 amino acid residues) was purified by Mono Q column chromatography. Various deletion fragments of NAP-1 protein were also produced, and their nucleosome assembly activity was examined by supercoiling assay. The internal fragment containing the residues 43-365 was necessary and sufficient for the activity, and a long stretch of negatively charged region near the carboxyl terminus was dispensable. This minimal size fragment could form the 12 S NAP-1-histone complex as the whole protein could, whereas deleted fragments on either side could bind with core histones only to form aggregates. |
