Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to assays for nucleosome remodeling activity using functionalized recombinant mononucleosomes. The functionalized recombinant mononucleosomes comprise a histone octamer comprising recombinant histone H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 proteins and a DNA template comprising a nucleosome positioning sequence that effectively positions the histone octamer and a signal site. The invention further relates to methods of using the assay to quantify enzymatic activity of remodeling enzymes and identifying modulators of remodeling enzyme activity.
