[Technical Response] Response to Comment on “A histone acetylation switch regulates H2A.Z deposition by the SWR-C remodeling enzyme”

ScienceNOW - Fetched: July 21st, 2016, 3:00pm UTC

Wang et al. report a failure to reproduce our biochemical observation that the INO80C and SWR1C/SWR1/SWR-C chromatin remodeling enzymes catalyze replacement of nucleosomal H2A.Z with H2A when the substrate contains H3-K56Q. They point to technical problems with our dimer exchange assay. In response, we have recapitulated our findings using a mobility shift assay that was developed and employed by Wang and colleagues.
