Extended Data Fig. 2

a, There are four p300 molecules (monomers I–IV) in the asymmetric crystallographic unit. The four molecules show an antiparallel arrangement of the BRP-HAT domains. As a result, HAT domains from monomers I and II are closely apposed. Monomers III and IV engage monomer IVsym and monomer IIIsym, respectively, of a neighbouring crystallographic unit, showing that all promoters are in a AIL loop-swap conformation. Black arrows indicate the direction of the AIL. The disordered segment of the AIL is shown as a black dotted line. b, c, Electron density of the AIL. 2FoFc (b) and FoFc (c) difference density omit maps contoured at 0.8 and 2.0 r.m.s.d., respectively. Coloured as in Fig. 3.
