Fig. 6. Elimination of spliced Tsix RNA does not affect the
establishment of closed chromatin structure. Chromatin structure in the 5
' region of Xist was analyzed by the DNaseI hypersensitive site
assay. The diagrams show the structure of the Xist/Tsix
locus, and the positions of DNaseI hypersensitive sites identified on the
respective mutated X chromosome as well as those of HindIII sites
used for the digestion of purified DNA. The position of the probe (Af0.4) used
for Southern hybridization is also indicated. Ectopic DNaseI hypersensitive
sites detected on Xdc are not found in E13.5 embryos carrying
Tsix
SA. White arrowheads
indicate the fragment derived from HS3 on the mutated X; black arrowheads
indicate those from HS1 and HS5 on the mutated X. H, HindIII.
